DO NOT CALL THIS MAN

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

The lady who wrote this [under a pseudonym] was upset at having to pay for legal services and said she would get even with me. This was her revenge. She is not paralegal, nor was she correct about the law or procedure. My office manager gets daily praise from my other clients, and would not have lied; this slanderous comment deserves an apology. Compare this comment with the others, and you see that I do not delete the negative ones so that prospective clients can see what the vast majority have to say, and go by that.

Power of Knowledge

Before I found California Tenant Law & Mr. Ken Carlson online, I hired an “Eviction Delay” service that, at first, sounded good but then quickly didn't feel right. They immediately had me file a ‘Demurrer’ instead first trying to ‘Quash’ a defective 3-Day Notice but only prepared an answer for me an...d forgot or didn't prepare one for my wife. (Sorry about the legal terms “Quash, Demurrer & 3-Day” you’ll understand later when you hire Ken.) I was not aware of the consequences to my wife until it was too late. She was found in “Default” by a Pasadena, CA court so I had to press on however, not with the crappy eviction delay service but with Calif. Tenant Law. My goal was; to avoid the UD judgment and find another habitable home for my family in my neighborhood. Or just WIN in court because of uninhabitable issues with my apartment and “illegal late fees” charged to me when I was late paying rent in the past and other technical legal issues. (I was surprised to find out that late fees to pay rent were illegal, who knew?) Mr. Carlson did an absolutely masterful job in informing, educating and supporting me through the entire process of an Unlawful Detainer. In doing so, Mr. Carlson saved me thousands in legal fees and a black mark on my credit. With Ken’s help I won in court and kept my family off the streets until I can find another place to live. Here’s how effective Ken’s help was and continues to be; I beat not only the landlord and his pompous “Harvard educated” attorney! Don’t get me wrong I like Harvard just not this arrogant know it all. This lawyer even had the gall to raise his voice at the Judge as he tried to school her on the technicality of the law on illegal late fees on a 3-Day Notice. Now I’m on offensive, and with Ken’s help, I will be filing a counter lawsuit for Malicious Prosecution against the landlord, possibly the new management company & definitely the opposing attorney! I kind of feel sorry for the landlord for having to pay all those court and legal fees which must be close to $10,000 by now only to expend more to defend against a counter lawsuit. In winning the Unlawful Detainer the landlord also has to write me a check for all my legal expenses, as well as, reimburse me all the illegal late fees charged to me in the amount of about $1,360! (Ken still has to review that amount.) Not really proud of this, I’m not a deadbeat, we are just having a hard time making ends meet, but I am now going on 8 months without having to pay rent. As Ken says, this is the landlord’s choice. The landlord came after me rather than continue to work with me as he did the previous 14 months to make rent. I very much recommend that you stay away from these eviction delay services, they are vultures and you get the short end of the stick. Join up with an attorney that specializes in Landlord/Tenant law or just forget the others and team up with Ken!! The great thing about Ken is this, you know he has your best interest at heart. Just as important, he knows the law very well. You can feel it …you can hear it in his voice.
