thank you note for Ken Carlson

I would like to thank Ken Carlson for helping me in to win a case in a small court against a landlord who refused to return the deposit I asked back and it was completely fair to win the case for me and get money back. I found the site of Ken https://caltenantlaw.com/ and found out that I rented the ...illegal unit. There is a lot of useful free information at the site of Ken. I highly recommend the site of Ken and him as a lawyer.

Top notch human

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!

Peace of mind

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.

This Man is a Saint. He is doing God's work.

It took me weeks of cold calling lawyers and being bounced around from one office to the next only to find out that most tenant lawyers strictly represent Landlords/Owners. Easier to win in court I guess? Ken has provided me with a plethora of resources to fight off unruly landlords and unscrupulous ...owners. Within 24 hours of consulting Ken, I was released from my lease and my deposit was returned in with 48 hours. Before I consulted him, I was being forced to live in inhabitable conditions with threats to evict me if I decided to withhold rent for repairs.

Look no further

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.
