Is Ken Carlson worth it?

ABSOLUTELY! Ken and his staff are professionals. Only needed a brief consult to clarify my situation. Saved me a lot of $$$ and his advice informed that an attempt eviction "Notice" was just a bluff. And if it had not been I would have engaged Ken to "Pit-Bull" my landlord ;-)

Helping me as a tenant with abusive Landlord COVID-19 hell who renting me illegal property, Wish more lawyers were like him!

I had a hellatious experience during COVID where the landlord rented me an illegal rental and shut me out of using the washer and dryer etc stated in the lease after I moved, and he was disapproving about my disability, orientation, etc. In the middle of a stay at home order this is cruel and unusual... punishment to do to a paying tenant just because you as a landlord think your "lifestyles are not compatible" with the tenant. My original lawyer got suspended and the retainer I paid went to waste as I did not receive value for the services which were not completed and I was left hi and dry. I was starting to feel hopeless with my case and overwhelmed. Ken stepped in and with his "a la carte, bite-sized" consultations and step by step information gave me the confidence to proceed with my case. I am still early on in my work with him but I knew I made the right choice to get his help. An injustice for one is an injustice for all. Ken fights for the underdog and knows the law, code, & procedures...He is expert in tenant advocacy, I highly recommend. I am not a litigious person but what happened to me during COVID-19 at the hands of an aggressive abusive landlord renting me a fraudulent property then abusing me while I was in it was so egregious that I absolutely had to stand up--Ken is giving a clear path to prevailing against fraud. He even made suggestions to SAVE me money not spend it or waste it on unnecessary lawyer services.

COVID EVICTION NIGHTMARE

I became acquainted with Ken during the pandemic, as he was recommended to me by an attorney friend of mine who researched my situation. I was getting evicted during the middle of the pandemic due to owner move in (My landlord was an attorney who figured a way around the moratorium. The first consult...ation was kind of vague and just ken feeling out the particulars and then he made a recommendation to say something to the other side. Which was my landlord (a real estate attorney) with her own attorney also. Since money was tight for the first time in my life due to the pandemic, I could not just hire an attorney and throw loads of money at it. On the second consultation, when I got back to Kenneth with more details from their first response, his strategy was exactly what I needed to deal with two attorneys. He gave me the confidence to go head-to-head with two professional grade A pricks. His strategy worked 100% and was a huge relief during the most stressful time of my life. I would highly recommend anybody who wants results without spending loads of money on attorney’s fees. He has great resources for free and puts the ball back in your court. I have already recommended him friends.10 + Stars, Thanks Ken!!

4 Years!!!! One of the Longest Running Cases Ever!

I am writing this letter today, an amazing 4 years after Ken began helping me and my 94 year old Mother fight an eviction from our home, by a Bank who took back the home in foreclosure from the owner. He is a wonderful human being and a stellar Attorney. His knowledge of the law is nothing short of... amazing. Ken helped us fight 4 unlawful evictions which we won, and file a Civil Case against the Bank. Our 4 year long journey together was hard fought and I will always be grateful for him and all he has done to help us. Just saying thank him isn’t enough. - Rebecca

The BEST Tenant Lawyer, all at a fair price!

Ken is the best! In 2013 I rented a condo in San Diego, non stop electrical issues, after several requests for repair to the property manager went unanswered one wall outlet started sparking and left large burn marks on the wall, Ken advised me step-by-step on the exact steps to take to mitigate any... owner recourse and legally exit my lease 7 months early without owing any additional money! Fast forward to 2021 in. LA and am again using his legal services to exit my lease 9 months early due to an overly hostile potentially violent neighbor who is creating a very dangerous situation and a property management team who seems to not be able to effectively resolve the issue. Key to success in CA tenant law is to follow a very methodical process, exactly how Ken and his team lay out, this is key!
