Thank God I found Ken Carlson!

I went from being terrified of being evicted because of Covid shutdown and loss of earnings to feeling empowered and having fun representing myself "In Pro Per". When my big corporate landlord raised my rent by $200 as soon as the emergency order was lifted in LA, I knew I couldn't afford it. I've be...en here for 12 years and I've always been a good tenant and paid on time. There are covid protections in place that you can read about on Ken's fantastic informative website. Landlord's are counting on that fact that you will be ignorant of the laws and be intimidated into moving out so they can raise the rent even more. I am trusting and doing everything according to Ken's brilliant system. I'm so glad and thankful to stop feeling like a victim and start beating my narcissistic bully landlord and his dishonest attorneys at their own game. If you represent yourself, keep a good attitude and be willing to run down to the court house to file papers and get orders at the drop of a hat. I had to run back a few times because I forgot something but Ken's system works! It will cost money, but not nearly as much as if you've hired an attorney on retainer. Think of all the money you are will be saving by staying in your home during this process and not paying rent. I'd much rather give it to Ken and still save a ton of money in legal fees. Ken has a great sense of humor and has calmed me down and encouraged me every step of the way. We still have quite a ways to go but I can honestly say, I trust Ken Carlson. I'm looking forward to winning and working out a way with my landlord to stay in my home. Ken's staff is great too. Just stay organized with a good filing system, record your calls so you don't miss anything and do some deep breathing and stay positive! You'll be fine if you follow Ken's instructions exactly. Thank you so much Ken, Julie and Keven. I truly appreciate you.

proof of service

Hi Ken, this is the second case you have handled for tenants I am evicting (we won the first one, of course) on the newest case you signed a POS that you served me by email and mail and neither ever showed up, typical of a pro-per but not expected from an atty.

Obviously, this is from the LANDLORD of our client, making a false accusation to affect our rating.

Tenant unlawful detainer action self help sections/video

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!!!

Worth Every Penny

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.
