Very put upon neighbor.

I got the CIty to file against the nuisance landlord. The tenant sued me for $10000. My odd and dangerous hobby is civil law. I wrote my own brief and demolished the Plantiff attorney. Today the Sheriff posted the notice to move. Now I can get back to editing memoire I found in my Grandfathers papers....

Almost unbelievable!

I have been in possession of my luxury apartment for over one year without paying any rent, and the case was finally resolved with me owing nothing and just having to move. I was presenting myself, with Ken’s help, against the biggest eviction law firm in California [Kimball Tirey St. John], who did ...everything they could to get me out fast. We had to deal with the stupid clerks who kept filing my default, and crooked judges who did whatever the landlord wanted, and I’m still suing the landlord for what they did to me. I’ve saved over $40,000 in rent, and didn’t have to file bankruptcy, like those paralegal firms on line try to get you to do. I stood there in court by myself, against up to 3 lawyers for the landlord in one hearing - they were afraid of me, because of Ken’s help. And it’s not over yet, because now I’m coming after the bullies, and they’ve got deep pockets for punitive damages. Oh, yeah! Now it’s my turn.

His Name Alone "Ken", Forced The LandLord Lawyer To Settle!

Facing Eviction? You need this man, No question. In a nutshell: You as a tenant can't win an eviction case period. the most you can do is to find a way to drag and delay your answer for 3 to 5 months and this will force the landlord to settle. I was not behind on my rent. to contrary they retur...ned my last rent payment because it was too much! Yes this action against me was a retaliation for reporting the landlord to government agencies. Pomona Court Judges i dealt with were notorious in their bias against me, without knowing anything about my case! as such they just assumed i didn't pay my rent and i'm playing game to stay where iam, rent free! My first judge was so pissed off and mad with me to the point he literally yelled at me making fun of my answers! anyway, when the Landlord lawyer found out in the 4th month, Ken Carlson is my "ghost" lawyer, as she put it, she literally panicked in front of the judge!! Yes she got used to winning cases in 21 days or so, and for this reason she charged Landlords flat fee of $700 or so! Ken behind the seen, dragged my case on for 5 months. She happened to know Ken personally and when she complained to the judge about Ken tactics, the judge told me not to deal with Ken! imagine that if you can!who i deal with is none of his business, but this tell you, to what extend these so called judges are willing to go in support of landlords! So scared and stressed to death this lawyer, scared the hell out of her client "the Landlord" forcing him to settle with me, because she was operating at net loss, commuting very long distance from Ventura County to Pomona!! This arrogant land lord when I saw him on the settlement day, was literally shaking to the point he avoided any eye contact with me for the first time ever!

Above The Rest!!

Ken Carlson is by far the best in his field!! He knows what he is doing and predicts every situation and gains you the rights you are entitled to !! I recently saw how unfair it is as a tenant and having him for counsel is the only way (after speaking with many lawyers)to utilize your civil rights! H...e knows what he is counseling you and never made a mistake with me !! I have to thank Ken for helping me not be homeless !! Real Talk Xo2

Best in the Business for Tenants

It's rare to find a real advocate. Someone who not only supports and advises, but who does so with both honor and intelligent strategy. Mr Carlson has literally kept me from living in a shopping cart. And gave me the time to get back on my feet. And in the process, saved me a lot of money. And the ...Plaintiff's attorney remains frustrated and embarrassed.
