Knight in Shining Armor

Thank you so much for the free advice on your site. I was in a full blown anxiety attack from my landlord's abuse. It immediately put me at ease to know my rights and that I had some recourse. Thank you for helping me get on an even keel and see that I have some control here.

Outstanding service!

Ken was extremely knowledgeable and knew exactly when to stand firm. We got EVERYTHING we wanted. He explained everything and gave us the courage to stand by our case and fight. I would use Ken's services again in a heartbeat!

Excellent Effective & Empowering Counsel

I worked for more than 8 years in a legal setting in positions with insurance companies where I was responsible for choosing and retaining counsel for clients and also for overseeing their legal work. I have worked closely with many different attorneys. I found Ken Carlson to be excellent in every wa...y. He was very skilled and gave me correct information and very specific instructions that were effective in bringing my rather complicated case to a very satisfactory conclusion. His legal documents were very high quality both in the substance of their arguments and in their accuracy. I would highly recommend Mr. Carlson to anyone who is having problems with their landlord. And I would recommend consulting him and his website http://www.caltenantlaw.com/ even before you are involved in actual litigation.

BEST Lawyer you could ever hire! Hands down most knowledgable landlord/tenant lawyer, just follow his instructions and WIN!!!

I am so happy I found Ken..He not only understood why I was taking "the riskiest route" when I had enough and had made my decision to withhold rent, he led me step by step in a route to CHECKMATE! I may be speaking too soon as my case is still unresolved, however, I can not figure any possible way fo...r the other party to prevail...they have lost and they have no idea how to proceed! I had been told by every lawyer I had previously consulted, not to proceed as I wanted to...they all said it was too risky. .. and while I was scared, Ken helped us get thru court clerk mistakes as well as our own misguided ideas of how to proceed...and he made it fun...he's funny and extremely knowledgeable in all landlord tenant issues - there is absolutely no way we would be in the position we are in without him! The opposing parties attorney actually called him "notorious" when he was denied his motion and wanted the Judge to know I was "not actually in pro per" because Ken's name was on the proof of service. The judge waved him off as it didn't make any difference - but winning does make all the difference - if you want to win, I really couldn't recommend Ken enough...he predicted every single move of the other party - to the "T". When I told him how amazed I was, he explained he wasn't clairvoyant , he had just had enough experience. I am writing this review in hopes that other tenants read it and hire him - he's so knowledgeable and affordable - I want every mistreated tenant to feel what it feels like when the tables turn and you are holding all the cards...and it's even better when Ken has kept you laughing all along the way! He is the best there is. Thank you Ken Carlson - you deserve an award for the most awesome tenant attorney on the planet!!

The ultimate tenant defense attorney, Ken Carlson.

Towards the end of 2012, I got a totally unjustified notice of termination of my lease/non renewal. I contacted Ken. E mailed or faxed him all papers & talked to him on phone. Told him the whole story. He reassured me that I was being wronged. He told me word for word what to do about it. I did exact...ly as he said. Long story short, I stayed in my apartment for the last 5 months totally free, didn't owe any back rent, judge sealed record AND I got my deposit back! The whole process was very peaceful. Ken & I had a huge laugh in the end. I couldn't possibly recommended anyone higher than Ken. Contact him now & find out for yourself!
