Ken Carlson is an outstanding eviction attorney and did a great job for me!

I was very fortunate to find Ken Carlson on the internet. I was facing an eviction, and I knew I wanted to stand up to my arrogant landlord and enforce my legal rights, but I had no idea who to turn to. I was getting nervous because all I kept finding on the internet were companies that had fancy w...ebsites, but they weren't lawyers, they simply were companies that claimed they could help with eviction assistance. Then I started noticing these companies domain names would change every few weeks. Not a good sign. Thankfully I came across Ken Carlson's website. After reading his website, seeing he has been in this business for over 30 years, I knew this was my guy! First of all, he is a real attorney! And he had so much helpful information on his website, it was so professional, I knew this is the man I would put my trust in, and I am so glad I did. Ken knows Eviction law like Michael Jordan knows basketball! He enlightened me about what my rights were, and went over what different strategies which would be best to give me the best possible outcome. Ken was so good that we actually beat my landlord's 1st eviction attempt, and made him start all over. His motions are amazingly well written and definately money well spent. Because of Ken's expertise, I was able to stay in my house for about 4 months after my 1st eviction notice, all while not paying rent, of course! In the end, I was able to settle my eviction with my landlord with NO judgement, and NO eviction on my record! That is what I call a VICTORY! I just want to say if you feel you are being wrongly evicted, and you want to stand up to your landlord and show him you won't be pushed around without a fight, then run, don't walk to schedule a consultation with Ken Carlson. After talking with him, you will gain so much confidence in him and your situation. Don't jeopardize your rights by going with these fly by night companies that may seem cheaper at first, believe me, you will regret it. Especially when the clerk and the judge at the courthouse makes a mistake that can ruin your whole case, then what are you going to do? If I didn't have Ken at my side, I would have lost my case in about a month, because both the clerk and the judge violated the law and almost ruined the whole case for me, but thankfully Ken Carlson was able to force them to correct their mistake and put me back on the winning track. In conclusion, if you want to fight your eviction, then hiring Ken Carlson as your attorney will be some of the best money you will ever spend, no question whatsover!

Great help for very reasonable cost

Can't say enough good about Ken. When my landlord served me with an eviction notice, I found Ken by searching on the Internet. His website, Caltenantlaw, has good advice and the ability to schedule a consultation. Ken saved me from making a number of big mistakes, leading to a settlement that was acc...eptable to both parties. Thanks again, Ken

The Knowledge Mr. Calson Provided Me with has been Invaluable

I am not surprised Mr. Carlson has had some type of disciplinary ding on his record. He is straightforward and tells things like they are. Sometimes people just cannot handle the truth, especially when it comes to landlords wanting to keep the tenants in this country ignorant and subservient. ...Ken is extremely knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and offers a plethora of great information on his website. I have been working with several attorneys dealing with a lawsuit in San Diego. None of them hold a candle to Ken. I wish he had been in San Diego when I went to court. I could not recommend this man highly enough.

Hands down he's the best lawyer in California for tenant advocacy.

I would absolutely recommend Ken Carlson! His website www.caltenantlaw.com is the only one that actually leveled the playing field for tenants against landlords trying to evict them. Ken told tenants what their rights were, how to fight eviction (and win), thereby enabling renters facing eviction a l...evel playing field against their landlords. The options on this form for when I last worked with him only offer 1 month ago or later. Fact is, he's working with me right now and neutralized 80% of the fear of losing my home. Truth is, if it weren't for him I'd been out of my apartment two months ago! My review is anonymous because I'm a reporter and author whose name is often Googled and I'd just as soon not have every person seeking one of my animal welfare articles learn that I'm in an eviction proceeding. If that weren't the case, I'd be pleased to have my name attached to this review.
