Kenneth Herbert Carlson

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 These guys are horrendous and Ken (or Mike) no longer represent actual clients in proceedings (you’ll do all the work pro per) because they ran into some legal trouble themselves and came close to not being able practice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.

We had to rent a home for a year. Just to get it, there was supposedly a bidding war, where we paid $500 more per month than original asking, paid six months in advance and 2 month’s security deposit. We ended up having to terminate our lease 2 months early, primarily over mold, although there we...re several maintenance issues. Brittany Torbert Provided exceptional advice and crafted a draft letter to terminate the lease. She knows her stuff and was very easy to work with. If you need the best advice for your situation, the consultation will be worth every penny. I am hopeful I don’t have to re-engage Ms. Tolbert as now our landlord has not returned our deposit.

I didn't use The Law Offices of Ken Carlson as representation in my case, but in turn, represented myself In Pro Ser. I studied in great detain Mr. Carlsons' videos available concerning these types of cases and additionally used other resources through CEB Law, california codes of procedure, and civ...il cases already ruled on, and found myself to be the prevailing party to a dismissal of the summons and complaint by the judge based on Defendants demurrer to the action as the answer to Plaintiffs Summons and complaint. I want to thank Mr. Carlson for his free videos made available to the public and I would suggest to anyone facing any civil matter similar to mine, to obtain his services. I'm sure his professionalism, and knowledge as an attorney would be extraordinary in the courtroom as well. 1,000 Thumbs Up!!!

Monique Harris, Mike Hanna, and Ken Carlson took over $3000 from me to file a complaint. IT NEVER GOT FILED, NOR WAS IT EVER WRITTEN. Each time they mentioned that "The time you paid for has exhausted please remit another payment" I would send them an email asking for a detailed description of what w...as accomplished and then paid them. I never got a detailed description of what I paid for, or what they had done. I contacted them many, many times and was not responded to. I even made additional payments to them to cover future emails, letters, phone calls and writing the actual complaint, yet they never contacted me. I had to ask for Monique Harris for her bar assoc number 3 times. They sent me an email to ask me to "resend an email with the attachments in a particular way", then they charged me for sending and receiving the email. From the beginning they tried to upsell me to choose to litigate instead of small claims, it often felt like I was working with a salesperson and not an attorney. Go the extra mile, get an attorney you can meet with, one who has a physical address and has a Secretary or ParaLegal to help with the paper work. Working with them was a disorganised mess that resulted in nothing !

I found ken few months back by researching, and I was so glad that I found him. I was facing eviction during the pandemic because landlords wanting to sell, but because of ken I was able to negotiate, and leave without paying anything, and no eviction on my credit, and best of it all I’m living som...ewhere 10x better. I was scared I never had been in a situation like this before, but it all worked out at the end. Thanks ken
