Kenneth Herbert Carlson

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!

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.

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.

Ken Carlson helped me every step of the way from the start, when the landlord filed an unlawful detainer action against me, to the conclusion almost a full year later. At the conclusion of this process, the landlord actually forgave the "past due" amount of approximately $26,000 plus paid me $9,000 ...cash to vacate. It was not easy, and it required a lot of court appearances, persistence and fees, but it was unquestionably very worth it.

Got in contact with Ken 1 day before my Trial date for Eviction had my Evidence but was feeling unsure. My consultion with Ken was great he got right to the point on what I needed to do. I followed his instructions for my presentation to the judge. Everything he told me would happen in court, did rig...ht down to the plaintiffs lawyer getting unsure of his case and looking confusted to the judge shaking his head because the plaintiffs lawyer was so unprepared for me!!!! Judge ruled in my favor. Proud of myself for playing the Game,getting excited for the next round.
