Kenneth Herbert Carlson

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!

DO NOT CALL THIS MAN! He is a professional scammer predating on the poor, desperate and vulnerable and not only will try to deceive you and produce completely incoherent work (I am a paralegal and he took $500 from me in "calls," just to answer questions about his errors and then threatened me and re...fused to update documents per the California Rules of Court) I caught his office manager Julie in a couple lies as well she appears to be some failed actress that plays along with Ken's Unlawful Detainer Gameboard of insanity. Ken Carlson will guide you unethically to the most expensive solution so that he gets thousands from you just to buy you a little more time. I would have rather moved and saved myself the trauma of dealing with this con man. He is a scammer and I am not only reporting this to The State Bar of California and Office of the Attorney General I am taking this to the top if you have been a victim of Ken Carlson's tactics please email me at [email protected] and I will make sure your complaint gets to my contact at The State Bar of California and we will pursue this legally

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'd never needed a lawyer until this past spring. I did a google search and struck gold. Ken Carlson talked me off the ledge with each consultation as I was being threatened by the management company of my building. He knows California tenant laws inside and out and offers expert, no-nonsense advice ...without bleeding you financially. I'd recommend his services to anyone requiring legal advice on tenant issues in Los Angeles.
