I began working with LS Carlson Law about a year ago after spending nearly two years fighting my HOA over serious mishandling of funds. After getting nowhere with my previous counsel, I was referred to LS Carlson Law, and attorney Ahmet Brown took over my case. From that moment forward, everything finally started moving again. The firm followed every proper legal channel and applied the right pressure to force the HOA to respond and produce the documents (some) they had been avoiding for years. The case ultimately went to mediation, where I was able to recover most of the money I had spent up to that point. While I didn't walk away with additional compensation (which was disappointing after such a long battle) Ahmet reminded me that a successful mediation is often one where neither side feels completely satisfied. He was right, and I appreciated the honesty. Today, I've had to rehire the firm because the HOA failed to comply with part of the settlement agreement. At this stage, with all the groundwork already done, I'm confident the process will move much faster. I'm hopeful that this time I'll finally see meaningful accountability, and maybe even some compensation, for the stress and financial harm this HOA has caused. LS Carlson Law has been the only firm able to make real progress in a situation that felt impossible. I'm grateful for their persistence, professionalism, and deep understanding of HOA law. read more

Could not get any straight answers.But always got the invoice for incomplete work. One of the attorneys at the firm of LSCarlson had a business relation with the HOA Attorney that I was trying to sue. Very uncomfortable for myself as a client . NEVER got any straight answers, but a lot of invoices. Had to let them go, because I felt they had poor performance. read more

After what appeared to be a promising start I soon realized racking up billable hours is the name of the game. $18,000 in one month. Zero results. read more

I've been struggling for close to two years, thanks tomy HOA harassing and discriminating against me and two other veterans, violating my rights and manipulating the system to further their frivolous agenda. After sifting through countless HOA attorneys, my consultation with Jeff Kominsky, has given me confidence and peace for the first time in two years. He broke down the law and equipped me for the worst so that I could arm myself even if I didn't hire them. This office is professional and made me feel like a valued human being, (which seems rare whenever I have to find an attorney for anything). I am in good hands, grateful to have found this firm, and cannot wait to update with the good news of my finalized case. read more

I'm truly in awe of the integrity, expertise, and dedication that attorneys Jeff Kominsky and Ahmet Brown demonstrated throughout my case. I couldn't have asked for better representation. Working with them was a rare privilege, and I had the chance to witness true excellence firsthand. It's been an inspiring and deeply appreciated experience. read more

Don't hire this firm. They are not up front or transparent, they do what they want, and then bill you after. They gave the impression they could help us get our shed placed in the rear of our home in Florida. They were never up front with the costs, the process of mediation before court. They used costly power point presentations, for simple mediation without prior authorization, just billed us thousands later. On phone call with one atty, they would say another atty wants to listen in. They would say good morning, then they would double bill us $800 an hour for conversations with two attys, when we only actually talked to one. We would give them specific instructions on the phone, only to have the send a one line confirmation email charging $45. When it was all said and done we got absolutely nowhere, except atty fees of approximately $30,000.00. We did most of the leg work and could have built 3 sheds for that outrageous amount?. read more

The team at LS Carlson is amazing. We used them for an HOA matter and they provided us with all the options, best representation and helped us retain our rights. Highly recommend Keith and Kevin from the team as well as everyone else at LS Carlson. Don't hesitate to reach out to them to make sure you protect your rights as a homeowner. read more

I contracted LS Carlson to handle several major issues with our HOA, including refusing to approve a straightforward lot-maintenance agreement approved for ALL other owners (10), major harassment like placing survey stakes on our property, leaving them there for months, and resusing to explain them or remove them, and the BOD President physically attacking me by breaking my right hand. The "Consultation Meeting" was cut short and made useless by irrelevant discussion about "Document Requests" that I did not need. I wrote a "Demand Letter" but they insisted on completely rewriting it. Steven and Allegra did a poor job rewriting the letter, which had to be significantly editted back to my original letter. When they sent the letter there was NO follow-up, no contact with the HOA or their lawyer. The HOA immediately refused to meet ANY claims. The whole thing was a complete fiasco and cost MORE THAN $6000. What a RIPOFF. Allegra charged me about $100 just to forward trivial schedual-update emails from their lawyer. DO NOT USE. TOTAL WASTE. read more

I had a consultation with Jeff Kominsky and couldn't be happier. He listened to my concerns and discussed various plans to proceed. Everything was explained in easy to understand terms. He was professional yet friendly, and easy to talk to. There was no pressure or "hard sell" to proceed. So far I'm very impressed! read more

Looking to access condo association statutory retention mandated records. Firm provides great service and is very responsive. Excellent back office support. Only downside was an underestimation of fees. Spent thousands of dollars in a few weeks, with very disappointing returns, as fixed costs are charged, but. Info had no records as required by Florida Statute. For an attorney to read a one paragraph update email, just for the case file record, cost was $39. Also, abstain from conversation of personal nature... (new baby for associate, or shared Alma mater), as they become billable hours. Continuing would have been financially impossible. Estimates provided during initial consultation were nowhere near the billed charges. However, they are a good law firm if you have very deep pockets. They probably get results. read more

Jeff Kominsky' legal expertise and determination were pivotal in the case's favorable outcome.

Steven Shack was a pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend him , along with LS Carlson Law Firm to anyone looking for legal assistance. read more

Beware! This law firm consistently busts deadlines, fraudulently and frivolously charges its clients. I am a 22 year AF veteran and LS carlson charged me over $30K in lawyer fees in less than 2 months. I was suing my HOA and a neighbor. They used fraud to overcharge my HOA. They charged hoa for neighbor issues and vise versa, to charge more on invoices. They also charged me for many services not done. After bringing it to their attention, they put a credit on my account instead of refund. Also, they broke suspenses costing us more money, and they lied, telling me that they could get a case thrown out. They didn't attempt, busted a suspense, causing us to go to court and costing us more fees. Throughout this process, they ignored our concerns. My HOA rejected mediation & LS Carlson was not prepared to go to court. I had to continuously ask them to begin litigation & they just tried to ignore me. I was forced to fire them. I put in a dispute with my credit card company and LS carlson law is falsifying documents to win the case. Guess I'll have to sue them in court for legal malpractice and fraud. STAY AWAY UNLESS YOU ARE OK WITH NIGHTMARES. This law firm does not care about its clients, only lining their pockets If they would do this to an Air Force veteran, they have no low. read more

I spent the $300 for the consult and boy was that worth every penny! In my case, it saved me an expensive and lengthy legal battle, that wasn't slanted in my favor. I really appreciate Jeff's candid, extremely knowledgeable and forthright way. Wasn't what I wanted to hear but, morally being right and legally being right are often a contentious union. Jeff offered a few options in strategy of how I might proceed but was forthright in saying, I had an uphill battle. (Ugh for me) I'd go so far as to say, Jeff is the Jedi Master of - HOA/condo law & unit owners rights. After consulting with numerous attorneys, numerous all saying opposing things, (crazy making), I bowed to Jeff like a fury Ewok to C-3PO! If one hires Jeff, you will have competent, ethical and trustworthy legal representation. I'm just going to hit the Golden buzzer! ***** 5 Stars read more

Excellent service! We felt a tremendous relief off our shoulders the moment we had our consult. The service provided very professional and informative. It is without hesitation we highly recommend this law office! read more

I engaged LS Carlson for help with a dispute with our COA over a patio that we had installed. From the very beginning, Jeff Kominsky and Christine Lowe could not have been more helpful, insightful and professional, but the best part is that they were so easy to work with. I was a legal consultant for 37 years, so I know a lot about contracts, mediations, etc., and my wife was concerned about spending too much money, so Jeff and Christine operated as my "shadow" lawyers, getting me prepared for our mediation presentation. They had great ideas, extremely on-point and helpful feedback, and were very knowledgeable about Florida condo law, which is exactly what I needed, and they provided it superbly. I simply cannot say enough about Jeff and Christine, and the support I received from LS Carlson Law - and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anybody I know (or don't know...) - they did a tremendous, 5-star job, and if there were more stars available, I'd give them to them... read more

I needed a law firm to protect my property rights after attempting to work through challenges with my COA for nearly 2 years prior. I set up an initial consultation with LS Carlson Law and really had no idea what to expect. I found a lot of value in the consultation because it provided a quick review of the claims I made to see if they even had merit before engaging the firm. Having never engaged counsel before this, and knowing it involved my own home I was very uneasy about what to expect going forward. Jeff, Keith and the team at LS Carlson Law were not only fierce in the handling of my case, but the communication from Jeff and the team was second to none. There were no surprises as things were explained and easy to understand every step of the way. Jeff was always sure to provide me with all of the facts, and considerations so I could weigh all of the possibilities. The use of technology this firm employs made it so I could be represented by them living 2.5 hours away. I never once thought about the distance as technology made it simple and efficient to communicate. I couldn't think of anyone else I would retain for my future real estate / COA legal needs. Ethical, Transparent, and Honest. read more

The service we received from Jeff Kominsky was more than expected. jeff was honest and forthcoming and explained well where we stood. Due to time constraints, he advised it was not wise to follow with his service and provided the references for me to at least see what I could accomplish, rather than incur additional costs and not be able to proceed. If my efforts materialize I will certainty call upon him for further assistance. I recommend him and his firm highly very happy. read more

My experience with LS Carlson Law, PC was excellent. I didn't encounter one person who wasn't friendly, helpful and responsive to questions, challenges I was having. Jeff thoroughly answered my questions in language that was accessible to someone, like me, who doesn't have a law degree ... while being respectful and not talking down. Very rarely do I post a review, especially one with 5-stars. But they absolutely earned it. read more

I have recently had a very long, expensive and more than disappointing experience with LS Carson Law. By their own admission their specialty is in aggressively serving their clients in an efficient and satisfactory manner. I experienced none of this; My simple (according to LS Carson law) case involving my HOA mushroomed into a 9 month and $17,000 process that ultimately went nowhere. Despite constantly keeping our lawyer updated to relevant issues unfolding with my HOA, our lawyers couldn't even manage to go to mediation even though the HOA had agreed to one. Apparently LS Carson Law forgot the law that when a party agrees to mediate, they are then legally bound to do so. After their initial eagerness to pursue our case, we then were aware of a sudden loss of interest by LS Carson law. One wonders why. Their crowning moment came when, after all this aggravation, we decided to terminate their services. They proceeded to blame their female paralegal for our case not going anywhere and claimed that they (the senior partners) somehow didn't know the details of our case and that was why they hadn't proceeded. If that was true, why were we paying them their hourly fees? read more

Beware this law firm can not be trusted. I hired this firm to sue my HOA and also my neighbor. We had to challenge them on several invoices. They were charging us for work not done. We brought this to their attention they acknowledge however, wouldn't give us a refund. Our HOA refused mediation, LS carlson wasn't ready to litigate and kept trying to drag it out to make more money and charge more legal fees. I was forced to fire them because they started ignoring us. After I fired them, I asked for a refund. They denied, so I started collecting evidence. Upon taking a closer look at the invoices, I noticed that this firm charged my HOA for my neighbor's matter to beef up invoices. I requested for my HOA to add my attorney fees and court costs. This is fraud! I contacted my bank and challenged the charges because I can't be associated. I'm so glad that we caught this. It would have caused us to lose my case and also opened up a possible criminal lawsuit due to fraud. I tried to discuss before elevation but LS Carlson only wanted to meet off the record. To this point I don't trust them. Please Beware or you might be their next victim. Please contact me for any questions. I have a plethora of evidence and information. I am in shock that any professional would lower themselves to this. read more

I spoke briefly with Steven Shack. He was professional, friendly, easy to communicate with. I'm shopping for representation and felt I might not be able to afford such a large law firm. I wish I had the ability to hire anyone I please but I live on a fixed income which limits my ability to spend large amounts of money. It's not easy being me. read more

I was in the middle of a complicated and serious dispute when I first called LS Carlson Law for help. From beginning to end, David Lehr and Jonathan Hodges were fully engaged with my case and did a magnificent job preparing and leading it to a successful resolution through mediation. Thank you, David and Jonathan, for your hard work and for removing this huge source of stress. I highly recommend LS Carlson Law's top-notch legal services. read more

I searched for a law firm to represent me in a dispute with an upstairs neighbor and ongoing with my board at my condo. I had called many firms who said they didn't represent owners only associations. Then I found LS Carlson. Jeff Kominsky and Steven Shack knew exactly what to do. It took is a while but they stuck with me as the little guy who was sure to get run over by the board and their BIG DOG attorneys. Jeff and Steven were willing to listen to my concerns and were respectful of all the research I had done. They then were able to use their expertise to be able to go against anything the board lawyers thought would be a way to "snow" us. Like it had worked in their favor before. Jeff and Steve stayed on top of it and made sure the promises made were kept and kept an eye on everything! I can't believe years of me trying to get something done and then I found them !! I highly recommend and already have to others in my building . read more

Good attorneys and professional service but it was double the expected cost, and time the whole process was taking so we had to quit with no result. read more
