Kenneth Herbert Carlson

I recently worked with the firm on an eviction case. Unfortunately, the process was time-consuming and felt like a waste of money. I didn't receive any clear guidance, leaving me frustrated and uncertain. In hindsight, reading everything thoroughly might have helped, but I would recommend exploring a... different approach if you're crunched on time and funds. This method ended up being costly and not the best use of resources, it was paying to be my own attorney. If you need a self help approach the county has it.

Thank youuuu!!!! Brittanyyyy!!!! After living in our current place for almost 3 years, myself and few roommates were served with an eviction notice. After doing an extensive search for attorney and reading days and days of reviews online, I was SUPER LUCKY to came across Attorney Brittany Torb...ert. Right from start, She was 100% “professional!!! You could tell she wasn’t the type of attorney who is just looking for your credit card number. She gives you plenty of time to speak, explain and your situation. However they don’t work for free. Prices are reasonable and you will simply be charged only for what you need. She will share what your options are and you choose what services you want to purchase. 100% FAIR, honest, and affordable fees! Most law offices will charge you an arm and a leg for “services” that will hardly even help you with your problem and or situation. So if you’re looking for an attorney who will really help you, have your back and someone that will be “next” to your heart, problems, headaches, anxiety, and stress, Pleaaaase!!! Look no further!!! Here is the right attorney!!! She doesn’t always respond to you immediately but she is quick to get back to you when you have questions or legal developments. She makes it easy to get ahold of her so you can sleep better at night and get ready for a fresh start. And lastly??? I do come from a GREAT family of attorneys… my Dad was a great attorney, my mother still practices law back “home”, my younger sister is also an attorney… unfortunately, They are in a whole different country… and nobody seemed to be able to help me here until I was able to find Ms. Brittany!!! That is all I can say!!! Look nooo further!!! Brittany Torbert !!! Thank you soooo much for helping me!!!

During one of the most horrible, heart wrenching times in my life, Brittany Torbert was there for my family. There were times where I literally felt as if I could not go about my day, due to the Landlord and his tactics towards my family. Even as I sit here to write this, I feel a deep rooted s...ense of despair and sadness at what my family and I had to endure. Our roof began to leak, water pouring down the walls, going into the sockets, sparking, not working, heater stopped working, floors rotting, ceilings mushy, mushrooms growing on my walls; I had trusted this man, and had a belief in humanity, that people are generally good and mean well and will do the right thing given the opportunity, so I waited and believed him, asking , pleading, for him to please fix the issues...until one night, in the middle of the night, my daughter's ceiling caved in on her beautiful pink princess room, crushing her bed, her pageant crowns, moldy insulation in mounds covering her floors and destroying all she loved. She could have been killed. piece of sheet rock sprawled about the room. When I called him, crying, asking for some sort of help or relief, my Landlord, made a joke of it, saying it was like the story Chicken Little. This was no joke to the little girl who lost her dream room, who could no longer have friends over to play, no joke to a family who could not use so many rooms or normal facilities due to the damage.....Then he actually told us we should have chosen an apartment if we wanted repairs made. A story of a home, full of laughter, births, dreams... shattered by lies. Our Landlord refused to fix, and even became angry, by turning off utilities at points, and trying to evict us when we sought help, and information on rights. Brittany has been there for me, teaching me about the law, her knowledge has not only been towards winning a case, but in actually helping my children and I to learn, grown, know what to do, and feel like we have someone in our corner. She has been a Rock of support, when our house was deemed inhabitable for humans by the county, and we had to stay in a motel, in hopes he would fix the issues, even during Easter .....No one could imagine the pain, heartache, and sadness that one feels looking into the eyes of their child who is going through these issues. We only tried to make it a fun adventure for them, but deep down knowing all the man had to do is what is required by a Landlord. Brittany helped me pro per, which I had no idea in the beginning of all of this what that meant, but she taught me, it means that you can represent yourself, while seeking her guidance, which really help financially, especially if you are a Mother of 5 children. Step by Step, even when in court he would continue to try to hurt us by saying lie after lie, she was there to listen, and assisted me in how to respond appropriately in ways that the Judge knew and honored because they were the proper lawful steps. The day that we won against him, won that he was in the wrong trying to evict us, was a day of glory, of justification of truth, of how the law prevails, because not only I, but my children learned that bad people do not get away with things, they saw their Mother fight for them, for what is right......and they knew that this beautiful soul, this amazing Attorney, who is only out to help people who can't do it themselves, who actually cares about people, and Justice, was by our side......This is a life lesson for them about how people are in their corner, we are not alone, there is actually a time and a place where Justice Prevails. Even after we won, this man continued to try to hurt my family and I with scary and weird illegal tactics, and she was in our corner once again. We NEVER could have known what to do, or known our rights, if not for her.

I used Ken Carlsons website as an instruction manual to an unlawful detainer defense. I had a lawyer that I hired who still helped me, while utilizing Kens team for advice, and his website to assist in the process. It might cost only a few couple hundred dollars extra if you already have an attorney.... Convince that attorney to assist you in doing exactly what the gameboard says, especially the jury trial steps which can be the hardest part. He is correct in saying that that "YOU ARE THE ACCEPTION." Do not get an eviction on your record by not following the steps outlined on the gameboard. Even if you have to convince your lawyer, family, whoever, follow the steps on his website. Do exactly what the website says, and like magic, on the day of trial opposing council will be tired. When you request a jury trial ask your lawyer to request the max number of days. What kind of apartment or lawyers will want to show up to jury trial for a week or more with continuances?? Get a pro bono or paid Jury trial lawyer, if you are able to. You need this back up if there's no settlement. Show up to court with (4) Jury trial binders ready, send the court a courtesy copy with all council CC'd and even the judge might be impressed. Assert your right to jury trial and you will avoid eviction! Ken Carlson, Brian Barajas, and Julie, who helped me with a speedy "discovery" and other legal advice, are all superheroes because they help TENANTS ONLY when the judicial system will not.
