Kenneth Herbert Carlson

Monique Harris, Mike Hanna, and Ken Carlson took over $3000 from me to file a complaint. IT NEVER GOT FILED, NOR WAS IT EVER WRITTEN. Each time they mentioned that "The time you paid for has exhausted please remit another payment" I would send them an email asking for a detailed description of what w...as accomplished and then paid them. I never got a detailed description of what I paid for, or what they had done. I contacted them many, many times and was not responded to. I even made additional payments to them to cover future emails, letters, phone calls and writing the actual complaint, yet they never contacted me. I had to ask for Monique Harris for her bar assoc number 3 times. They sent me an email to ask me to "resend an email with the attachments in a particular way", then they charged me for sending and receiving the email. From the beginning they tried to upsell me to choose to litigate instead of small claims, it often felt like I was working with a salesperson and not an attorney. Go the extra mile, get an attorney you can meet with, one who has a physical address and has a Secretary or ParaLegal to help with the paper work. Working with them was a disorganised mess that resulted in nothing !

I found ken few months back by researching, and I was so glad that I found him. I was facing eviction during the pandemic because landlords wanting to sell, but because of ken I was able to negotiate, and leave without paying anything, and no eviction on my credit, and best of it all I’m living som...ewhere 10x better. I was scared I never had been in a situation like this before, but it all worked out at the end. Thanks ken

But . . . what about the Mom and Pop operation where the tenant who is behind was always that tenant who paid late, or was behind prior to the pandemic? The tenant who already is/was on public assistance, who did not lose that assistance, but simply just stopped paying the rent because they know the...y can. The tenant who is behind on their rent, yet all of their teenagers have dirt bikes, sports equipment, large screen televisions, etc.? The tenant who asks if they can build a fence around the mobile home, but has been behind on the rent payments by one month for over a year? How about that tenant? Does that make the landlord the bad guy just because he and his wife work 16 hours a day to remodel low income housing units to be a provider of that service, and need to by paid? We both work two jobs, and we pay thousands of dollars to make our mobile home units comfortable for low income people, we offer a rent option for purchase to help others become financially stable in their lives. Now here you are calling us bullies. I can understand calling the large corporations bullies, I have been a renter in a large apartment complex when I was a single mom. But this video is offensive to the small guy trying to make it work, and help others at the same time. Then the legislators complain that there is a low income housing shortage in California. Gee, I wonder why? It simply is not worth it if an owner/builder who works this hard, has absolutely no power to replace a bad tenant with a paying tenant. Commercial stores have the right to refuse service to anyone, after the customer has entered the store. What incentive is there for a builder to keep building low income housing? None! I expect the low income housing shortage to grow exponentially in California.

I see all these bad reviews, capitol letters, over-explained personal bad encounter with this firm and only one to blame for their bad dealings is themselves. If any of the complainers would of just read these reviews, you wouldnt have been scammed. Theres 100's of these types of scam 'n' jam attorne...ys and they usually end up with 1 too many formal complaints to the Bar. Reality with this group is 'They Will Never Be Fined, Dis-Barred (sp), will never be disciplined, and will never have anything negative happen to them even after being caught 'red-handed'. Why, the court system looks at renters/evictions as sub-humans, complainers, non-bill payers, etc. And cause the Courts/Clerks/Legal-Aides think this way, the Carlson group is shoveling out the 'scum' and clearing the calendar for real humans and meaningful cases. Im an example, I read the bad reviews, paid them over $1000 and they did absolutely nothing except argue with me on amount owed after every email, call, text, sentence, word, letter. They pocketed $1000 for email chatting, never 1 word of legal advice, not 1 form, nothing. And like all these others, filed formal complaint, proper channels. etc. and the entity that handles Attorney complaints closed the case with 'no-wrong doing' and rejected any/all of my evidence (90% of all emails were all about what is/isnt owed was not allowed to be submitted, recorded every phone call which contradicted everything they claimed to have done to assist me legally and would of proved their 100% scammers, not allowed, etc.). When you file, anytime in next couple days to 4+ weeks, they contact you with a THREE DAY deadline to prove your case against Carlson group. With emails, phone call recordings, texts, etc., i had @300 pages to submit in 3 days, while moving out, while working 8-10 hours a day. I submitted @40% only due to time frame and all rejected, not-recognized, wrong format, etc. So if you have a couple thousand dollars you just want to flush down the toilet and dont care about your case what-so-ever, hire Carlson Law Firm Group. A daily chat, even with a question on how to email them attachments will rack up, at the end of the day, an easy $500 and your original 1 sentence question will never have even been answered. Towards the end, my 2nd biggest formal complaint against them, they would email me 5,6,7,8, times in a row, breaking up 1 email so they could charge 8x$60 for what should of been 1 email. Each sentence became an entire email @$60 each time, BOTH WAYS (meaning when I responded to 1 of their 1 sentence emails, it was $60X2=$120). Bar Association that handles complaints against Attorneys said they did nothing wrong, nothing illegal, nothing immoral, they have full right to charge whatever they want even if it was a ONE word email! A 30 word email, broke up into 30 emails X$120= One stupid person who still hires this firm, even after reading this! I even offered them $5000 on top of my $1000 already paid to extend my winable eviction. They refused it. Why, THEY DONT DO ANYTHING and take peoples money by chatting with you, not by doing any type of any legal 'stuff'. $60 for a 'good-morning' email/text x2. So read before doing anything. Cant read, theres free Apps that will do it for you. Dont be a sucker like me and the rest of the 1-star raters.
