Kenneth Herbert Carlson

If you are lucky enough to get a consult with Ken and even luckier to get him to take on your case, then consider yourself fortunate. He has been working for us as Tenants for 21 months. In other words WE have been in possession for 21 months and still going strong not paying rent. We love Ken's ...enthusiasm and "Go-Get-Them" Attitude. Follow his instructions, do what he wants you to do and all will go well for your case too. He's a special person with a quick intelligent humorous mind. You will be in Great Hands!!!

I feel blessed to have found someone like Ken Carlson to help me when my slumlord landlord decided to try and scare me out of my home. Just as he says on his site, I was afraid, unsure, and feeling like I had no recourse until I found Ken's website and started consulting with Ken and using his servic...e to prepare documents for the court. Not only has he helped me to take this slumlord to task but I have learned so much about the law and the corruption that is in our justice system. I was just in court yesterday and everything Ken had told me in my trial prep consultation happened, just as he said. The judge pro tem was just acting as a second lawyer for my landlord and tried to bully me into accepting an agreement that was definitely NOT in my best interests (we found out after from a lawyer that this "judge" IS a landlord lawyer....) Ken has guided me through every step and so far everything is going in my favor and I have been in this conflict since November of last year. When I started to waiver, thinking maybe their offer was a good one, my lifeline to Ken helped me to see how they were trying to trick me, and I was saved from making a very serious mistake in my case. The battle continues but with Ken in my corner I am confident that I will get the settlement I am due and I will never be afraid of landlords, or courts, again!

Hiring Ken he was the best thing I did for this unlawful detainer! He guided and assured me and 5 months later I was able to move out at the expense of the landlord. He will guide you and your issues he is professional and is knowledgeable to the court system. You can trust him and feel confident ...he will put your landlord in place. Landlords are bully's and he is your protector. Thank you Ken Great Job!

I only know Mr. Carlson via his website, CalTenantLaw ... his information there has helped my family tremendously as well as others whom my husband and I try to advocate for in Tenant/Landlord issues. We have won cases using his information, even though California Unlawful Detainer courts are the wi...ld west as far as upholding the law. We heard one UD judge say, "You signed the contract so you don't get to have regrets here." She was referring to a rental agreement where the landlord had put numerous clauses in that directly violated the tenant's civil rights, housing rights, etc. (e.g., "If tenant sues the landlord, the tenant agrees to pay the landlord's attorney costs even if the tenant prevails.") The judge's ignorance is indicative of the horrible unconstitutionality that the UD proceedings in California have become. The judges have let the landlord lawyers decide how to interpret housing statutes, and that has left tenants with no true justice or recourse ... especially given you can't really find a "Tenant" lawyer out there. One example of misinterpreted statues is the infamous CCC Section 1954, where EVERYONE (i.e., lawyers) states that the landlord has "an absolute right of entry" into your rented home. BUT, Section 1953 states the rights in 1954 ARE THE TENANT'S RIGHTS!! Just one example of how things have gone south for tenant rights. But Ken Carlson is combating that with his website. And those few of us who are trying to get the law back on track with proper interpretations greatly appreciate his efforts.

My experience with Ken has been nothing short of spectacular! His knowledge, expertise, and experience make him second to none. I was so scared when my landlord first threatened me with being evicted, however, after talking with Ken for my initial consultation I knew I was in good hands. I wouldn't w...ish a landlord-tenant dispute on anybody, but if that is what you are facing Ken is your man!
