Kenneth Herbert Carlson

I became acquainted with Ken during the pandemic, as he was recommended to me by an attorney friend of mine who researched my situation. I was getting evicted during the middle of the pandemic due to owner move in (My landlord was an attorney who figured a way around the moratorium. The first consult...ation was kind of vague and just ken feeling out the particulars and then he made a recommendation to say something to the other side. Which was my landlord (a real estate attorney) with her own attorney also. Since money was tight for the first time in my life due to the pandemic, I could not just hire an attorney and throw loads of money at it. On the second consultation, when I got back to Kenneth with more details from their first response, his strategy was exactly what I needed to deal with two attorneys. He gave me the confidence to go head-to-head with two professional grade A pricks. His strategy worked 100% and was a huge relief during the most stressful time of my life. I would highly recommend anybody who wants results without spending loads of money on attorney’s fees. He has great resources for free and puts the ball back in your court. I have already recommended him friends.10 + Stars, Thanks Ken!!

I am writing this letter today, an amazing 4 years after Ken began helping me and my 94 year old Mother fight an eviction from our home, by a Bank who took back the home in foreclosure from the owner. He is a wonderful human being and a stellar Attorney. His knowledge of the law is nothing short of... amazing. Ken helped us fight 4 unlawful evictions which we won, and file a Civil Case against the Bank. Our 4 year long journey together was hard fought and I will always be grateful for him and all he has done to help us. Just saying thank him isn’t enough. - Rebecca

Ken is the best! In 2013 I rented a condo in San Diego, non stop electrical issues, after several requests for repair to the property manager went unanswered one wall outlet started sparking and left large burn marks on the wall, Ken advised me step-by-step on the exact steps to take to mitigate any... owner recourse and legally exit my lease 7 months early without owing any additional money! Fast forward to 2021 in. LA and am again using his legal services to exit my lease 9 months early due to an overly hostile potentially violent neighbor who is creating a very dangerous situation and a property management team who seems to not be able to effectively resolve the issue. Key to success in CA tenant law is to follow a very methodical process, exactly how Ken and his team lay out, this is key!

Ken is very personable and gives you a 'relief' when you talk to him. You must read his 'This is how we do things' VERY thoroughly, word for word, beginning to end. Its in black and white: $6/minute for calls (no matter what is discussed or accomplished, $75/email (no matter the topic, if its a reply... or even asking what the balance is), they only prepare you for court and dont appear (they can also ignore you on or right before your hearing if they choose to do so), they can charge any amounts regardless of what is on their website or what was quoted to you (a $75 Quash can end up being $1000, even if the Quash was filed incorrectly and in their accidental/purposeful actions), they may/may-not ever tell you your balance and each time you ask 'whats my balance as of today' they can charge you another $75 for your email and another $75 for their response which is always 'please call us' which is another $6/minute or $50 or whatever they feel like doing, and on and on. If this is acceptable, by all means hire them. If you want NOTHING done except calls/emails regarding what you owe them, look no further. If you want some type of assistance that actually helps or moves your case forward, STAY FAR AWAY. All these bad responses posted, are 100% true. All the good posts are done by them. Our opposing attorney even stated 'By hiring Carlson, we automatically won without a fight. Its only a matter of time before it catches up with them (Ken) and what their actually doing but he is making so much money of people like you (that would be me) that him and his team can retire and 100x over. I gave them $1150 and what I got in return was a 8 minute consultation where Ken never even looked at my case before, a rejected Quash and @30 emails all asking 'What is my current bill? What is the total?' Even after the Attorneys Bar Official complaint in Feb 2021, I still have NO idea where my $1150 went to. Had to do my court appearance without ANY help from them what-so-ever resulting in loss. My case was actually winnable. Provable real estate fraud from buyer and escrow duo. But without legal representation, which I assumed I had per $1150, I lost my house, lost my $150k equity, got 3 years of bad credit and ALL judgement went in the Defendants favor. Thanks You so much Ken & Julie, and Britneys constant emails (which I never opened/responded to, but still charged for)! We are now homeless & sleeping from park to park, my wife spent weekend in hospital trying to hurt herself, buyer got all of my possessions (16 years of contracting, tools, materials, etc.). Lost everything so you can have a measly $1150. How do you & your team sleep at night? I know, on piles of money!!! So do your research first, read their terms thoroughly. Theres 1000 other honest attorneys out there. Be smart and cautious!

DO NOT CALL THIS MAN! He is a professional scammer predating on the poor, desperate and vulnerable and not only will try to deceive you and produce completely incoherent work (I am a paralegal and he took $500 from me in "calls," just to answer questions about his errors and then threatened me and re...fused to update documents per the California Rules of Court) I caught his office manager Julie in a couple lies as well she appears to be some failed actress that plays along with Ken's Unlawful Detainer Gameboard of insanity. Ken Carlson will guide you unethically to the most expensive solution so that he gets thousands from you just to buy you a little more time. I would have rather moved and saved myself the trauma of dealing with this con man. He is a scammer and I am not only reporting this to The State Bar of California and Office of the Attorney General I am taking this to the top if you have been a victim of Ken Carlson's tactics please email me at [email protected] and I will make sure your complaint gets to my contact at The State Bar of California and we will pursue this legally
