Kenneth Herbert Carlson

I had a hellatious experience during COVID where the landlord rented me an illegal rental and shut me out of using the washer and dryer etc stated in the lease after I moved, and he was disapproving about my disability, orientation, etc. In the middle of a stay at home order this is cruel and unusual... punishment to do to a paying tenant just because you as a landlord think your "lifestyles are not compatible" with the tenant. My original lawyer got suspended and the retainer I paid went to waste as I did not receive value for the services which were not completed and I was left hi and dry. I was starting to feel hopeless with my case and overwhelmed. Ken stepped in and with his "a la carte, bite-sized" consultations and step by step information gave me the confidence to proceed with my case. I am still early on in my work with him but I knew I made the right choice to get his help. An injustice for one is an injustice for all. Ken fights for the underdog and knows the law, code, & procedures...He is expert in tenant advocacy, I highly recommend. I am not a litigious person but what happened to me during COVID-19 at the hands of an aggressive abusive landlord renting me a fraudulent property then abusing me while I was in it was so egregious that I absolutely had to stand up--Ken is giving a clear path to prevailing against fraud. He even made suggestions to SAVE me money not spend it or waste it on unnecessary lawyer services.

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

Our landlord surprised us with a letter charging late fees! I searched for "rental late fees in california" on Google and found a very well written article on Ken's site explaining how late fees are illegal. The next day, my wife called and got a consultation. In a very short amount of time, Ken told... us exactly what to do, what to say, and how to proceed in this matter—and our landlords have backed down. Ken is a knowledgable attorney—and very affordable! AND he wrote a musical about Legal Ethics? This guy is the real deal. Thank you Ken!

I had a phone consultation ($5/min) and an initial consultation with Ken. I initially purchased the lawsuit kit from his website and was blown away by it, everything was well researched, easy to understand, and helped me get through a small claims case against my landlord. His site has length warning...s about how you must make the most of your time when paying for a phone consultation, how to have your questions prepared, etc. I heeded those warnings and was very prepared for our consult, only to have Ken spend over half the time going over basics I told him I knew (1950.f and other portions of law) and ranting about corrupt landlords, judges, etc. Is he cheaper than other attorneys? Yes. Is his site extremely useful and do I respect his work organizing for tenants rights/being an incredibly advocate? Yes. Would I hire him to represent me in court/pay for any more of his time? No.

I hired Ken Carlson to help me with my case. He is very clear, precise and incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. I felt fully supported and his help comforted me a great deal as I had never sued anyone before but he walked me through the process. He put my mind at ease from the very first consultatio...n. I worked with Ken as I needed him and thanks to his high level of professionalism and dedication, I won my case.
