Kenneth Herbert Carlson

I've only been to the website so far. That alone has helped me immensely.I will be call him for a consultation. As my situation has took a turn for the worse. My Management Company has done so many stright out illegal things to my daughter's and myself they are disabled . I have it all on video and ...well documented. I do need HELP!!! I'm a single Mom that was forced out of my apartment by them 14 months ago and today Memorial Weekend they have construction going on . Outside my front door blocking me in. This is so wrong. I'm a long term tenant of 14 years and this is what they do. All this and more after being served a 60 day notice. She has us blocked in when we are supposed to be moving?? Sitting on the bottom of my stairs with a big smile on her face. Landlord Harassment is Real!!!!

I've used Ken and his California Tenant Law site a few times now over the 8 years I've dealt with my awful landlord in my rent controlled property. Ken and his team know landlord-tenant law inside out. I had never really dealt with lawyers in any capacity before my landlord situation, I was so nervou...s about the costs, and in general being misguided or treated as just another client to earn money from without being given actually solutions and support. If you're having landlord issues and you feel this way, Ken and co are the people for you. Their payment structure is clear, reasonable and scaled with multiple options, and they absolutely know what they are doing. It's the most reassuring and supportive attorney experience I believe you will find in the LA area.

Ken and his partners helped me protect my rights that I thought I would have lost to my landlord. Tenant-landlord issues often arise suddenly, cause emergencies, and leave us in panic without many choices. Therefore I was very lucky that his team stepped in immediately and offered me prompt evaluatio...n and advice. They handled the communication with my landlord nicely. With his help I navigated through very complex case situations and fully recovered my loss. I never thought that was possible. Really appreciate his help and I highly recommend him.

Ken prefaces by saying, it’s going to look like you’re losing, but our goal here isn’t to have our motions granted, rather we’re playing the system. That system, is a time game. Most of the folks fighting the evictions are exploiting loopholes from the restrictions on evictions and so in essence,... as long as you follow their little roadmap to finality, you milk another 6 months out of your current situation. Where you run into trouble is if you countersue, or file a complaint regarding habitability. As others have mentioned, Ken is competent although incredibly egotistical and lacks any integrity whatsoever. He’s entirely driven monetarily and will fail to communicate unless there’s a pressing reason AND he’s been pre-paid. It’s a crapshoot with regard to who you’ll end up with after Ken performs the consult. We’ve had the misfortune of dealing with Mike Hanna. Not only will you spend thousands on an eviction, but thousands more on a counterclaim suit, you’ll consistently miss deadlines and hearings, be instructed to refuse seemingly reasonable offers to settle and end up significantly worse through it all. Your motions and documents are rife with misspellings, misinformation and glaring inaccuracies—you’ll spend ages editing and revising elementary mistakes. After a year of enduring this, and at hearing how desperate we were for him to just perform, Mike suggested we file bankruptcy as a final last laugh to the landlord. So we paid nearly ten thousand dollars between multiple cases that went no where and weren’t settled, and as the final laugh we can ruin our financial situation and credit for the next five years? We’ve been garnished and will likely have no choice but to do so at this point. I imagine that in cases where landlords are in a weaker position and settle, clients end up happy campers. In cases where the landlords lawyerup and don’t back down folks really get the wrong end of the stick. I would never recommend this route to anyone after going through what we have, and I suggest you learn from our mistakes. These guys are horrendous and Ken (or Mike) no longer represent actual clients in proceedings (you’ll do all the work pro per) because they ran into some legal trouble themselves and came close to not being able practice law anymore. I suggest you do some research before making a decision. All of these folks come with baggage and a unique legal history to include run-ins with the law (on the opposite side of the scope they’re representing), bizarre complaints confirmed by their governing bodies and quirks that can only be defined by their varying levels of veiled criminality. No matter how desperate you are, these jackwagons are not the choice.
