Kenneth Herbert Carlson

Ken is the best! In 2013 I rented a condo in San Diego, non stop electrical issues, after several requests for repair to the property manager went unanswered one wall outlet started sparking and left large burn marks on the wall, Ken advised me step-by-step on the exact steps to take to mitigate any... owner recourse and legally exit my lease 7 months early without owing any additional money! Fast forward to 2021 in. LA and am again using his legal services to exit my lease 9 months early due to an overly hostile potentially violent neighbor who is creating a very dangerous situation and a property management team who seems to not be able to effectively resolve the issue. Key to success in CA tenant law is to follow a very methodical process, exactly how Ken and his team lay out, this is key!

Ken is very personable and gives you a 'relief' when you talk to him. You must read his 'This is how we do things' VERY thoroughly, word for word, beginning to end. Its in black and white: $6/minute for calls (no matter what is discussed or accomplished, $75/email (no matter the topic, if its a reply... or even asking what the balance is), they only prepare you for court and dont appear (they can also ignore you on or right before your hearing if they choose to do so), they can charge any amounts regardless of what is on their website or what was quoted to you (a $75 Quash can end up being $1000, even if the Quash was filed incorrectly and in their accidental/purposeful actions), they may/may-not ever tell you your balance and each time you ask 'whats my balance as of today' they can charge you another $75 for your email and another $75 for their response which is always 'please call us' which is another $6/minute or $50 or whatever they feel like doing, and on and on. If this is acceptable, by all means hire them. If you want NOTHING done except calls/emails regarding what you owe them, look no further. If you want some type of assistance that actually helps or moves your case forward, STAY FAR AWAY. All these bad responses posted, are 100% true. All the good posts are done by them. Our opposing attorney even stated 'By hiring Carlson, we automatically won without a fight. Its only a matter of time before it catches up with them (Ken) and what their actually doing but he is making so much money of people like you (that would be me) that him and his team can retire and 100x over. I gave them $1150 and what I got in return was a 8 minute consultation where Ken never even looked at my case before, a rejected Quash and @30 emails all asking 'What is my current bill? What is the total?' Even after the Attorneys Bar Official complaint in Feb 2021, I still have NO idea where my $1150 went to. Had to do my court appearance without ANY help from them what-so-ever resulting in loss. My case was actually winnable. Provable real estate fraud from buyer and escrow duo. But without legal representation, which I assumed I had per $1150, I lost my house, lost my $150k equity, got 3 years of bad credit and ALL judgement went in the Defendants favor. Thanks You so much Ken & Julie, and Britneys constant emails (which I never opened/responded to, but still charged for)! We are now homeless & sleeping from park to park, my wife spent weekend in hospital trying to hurt herself, buyer got all of my possessions (16 years of contracting, tools, materials, etc.). Lost everything so you can have a measly $1150. How do you & your team sleep at night? I know, on piles of money!!! So do your research first, read their terms thoroughly. Theres 1000 other honest attorneys out there. Be smart and cautious!

As many ratings state, Mr. Carlson is a true advocate for the LAW, which empowers tenants to express their rights. I stumbled upon Ken Carlson’s webpage, caltenantlaw.com, while searching for information regarding tenant rights to quiet enjoyment of property. I read several article and advice piece...s on his webpage before finding the COVID-19 Evictions video Mr. Carlson created. It is 40 minutes long, and each minute provides incredible information regarding tenant-landlord law. Within twenty-four hours of watching the video, I contacted Mr. Carlson for his legal services and advice. Speaking with Mr. Carlson is amazing. He listens to your questions and concerns. He helps you see the forest for the trees not the other way around and empowers you to exercise your rights of which you have many. I will likely use Mr. Carlson often both as a tenant and an advisor for when I am a landlord myself. As Mr. Carlson says in the video, there is a right way to be a landlord and a wrong way. All tenants have the right to be treated fairly and to demand landlords adhere to and respect the laws protecting those rights. Thank you, Mr. Carlson for your professionalism and advice! Because of your consultation, I feel confident in demanding my rights be respected by the landlord and to see the threats they may throw as hollow.

Look no further. he is the one and only attorney for tenants! Ken has provided an excellent service and put his superior knowledge of the Tenants Law on the full display. He is a real professional, and he made all legal matters the walk in the park for us. He is exceptional, but you will need to fol...low precisely what he is asking you — nothing more, nothing less.

We wanted advice about whether we were being fairly treated by our landlord that refused to do some repairs. Ken did a great job explaining everything to us and giving us the facts so we could make a decision what to do next. And then once we decided to break our lease and sue our landlord, he helped... us with the wording and proper codes to use as well as organize our evidence for court.
