As fast as you can, hire this man!

Ken is the best. Do not hesitate in hiring this lawyer. He knows what he is talking about and will take care of all your concerns. Most importantly, he will get you more time and frustrate the heck out of your landlord and his lawyer. Ken really does “work for you” just as his webpage states. ...Many times, I called him and we only had a short window to prep the documents before filing the same day, but Ken ALWAYS came through. That is so important during this ordeal; as you may or may not know, one day late in filing and it’s over. I won my case, and got exactly what I wanted going in. My landlord got frustrated and we settled. cannot praise Mr Carlson enough. 35 years of experience. 5 stars repeatedly. Hire this lawyer and rejoice. Ken is your landlord’s worst nightmare.

Ken Carlson is the BOMB!! He is a ROCK in the storm and he DOES ROCK!!

Ken Carlson was absolutely the best thing since sliced bread for me. I was dealing with the King of Difficult Landlords and facing an unlawful eviction until he explained to me that all hope was not lost. Ken provided me with a wealth of information, assisted me with filings, trial preparation, and... gave me the courage to face a very difficult Landlord who does little or nothing to maintain his property and nothing at all for the benefit of his tenants. Ken was patient and available at my beacon call, and made the process understandable for me and in essence it ended up being an enjoyable experience. What I liked best was that his materials were "right on the money", and he did not waste my time with 'nonsense' papers that the court clerks were attempting to require me to fill out. Ken held my hand through the whole thing and was even available to me during the settlement conference with my landlord and his lawyer. The icing on the cake was when my landlord's attorney stated the following: "You were a nightmare for me to defend my client, and I was flustered after dealing with you. You were the BEST prepared defendant I have ever encountered in my entire legal career." I thanked him for the compliment, and I just need to say that this is a testament to the power of what Ken Carson can do for you!! I would use his services again without hesitation, and I highly recommend him. He is easy to work with, has a phenomenal sense of humor and more importantly, if you use Ken's services and do everything the way that he tells you, YOU WILL WIN YOUR CASE!! I did. I basically got to stay in my home for another 45 days rent free, I got my security deposit back and he cannot put an eviction on my record. I also wiped out 6 months of back-pay on the rent, based on what Ken taught me. If I can do this, so can you! That's why I say that Ken Carson is the BOMB and he ROCKS!!

Excellent Effective & Empowering Counsel

I worked for more than 8 years in a legal setting in positions with insurance companies where I was responsible for choosing and retaining counsel for clients and also for overseeing their legal work. I have worked closely with many different attorneys. I found Ken Carlson to be excellent in every wa...y. He was very skilled and gave me correct information and very specific instructions that were effective in bringing my rather complicated case to a very satisfactory conclusion. His legal documents were very high quality both in the substance of their arguments and in their accuracy. I would highly recommend Mr. Carlson to anyone who is having problems with their landlord. And I would recommend consulting him and his website http://www.caltenantlaw.com/ even before you are involved in actual litigation.

Ken Carlson- A great tenant lawyer/advocate!

I had a great experience with Ken. He is extremely knowledgeable regarding tenant law. He was concise and direct. I hired him for advice and to prepare a case in Superior Count against my prior landlord. Fortunately, by understanding my rights and with the threat of a real and justifiable lawsui...t the landlord returned 100% of the security deposit she was holding in bad faith. I would recommend Ken 100%.

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
