I fully endorse this law firm. My experience has been nothing but stellar. Mr. Ryan Davies was truly helpful in the legal consult last year, and Ms. Larissa Branes was equally as helpful in my January 2025 consult with her. They truly care about protecting and advocating for their clients! 10/10 stars! This review although brief illustrates my gratitude to this Law Firm for all the information I needed to best approach the ongoing private nuisance issues I have been having with my upstairs neighbor for the past 4 years! Please read my Google review as it delinates more in detail the exceptional service I received from LS Carlson Law! read more

Where do I even begin to describe this disaster? Hired them over a year ago to handle a dispute with my neighbor and HOA. Not only was it difficult most of the time to reach my attorney, but when I did there was very little follow-up. The HOA would send emails to them regarding violations and hearings and I wouldn't even get told. Since I would get no follow up, I would call several times to be told I would receive a call back from another attorney or my main attorney and never did. Once I started complaining more adamantly, all of the sudden one of the partners reaches out to me for payment. Not when I was having issues prior, not helping in my case, not calling for a check-in - only when payment is involved. Never once did I hear an apology or anything from him for the lack of service but just demands for money. With all the issues I'd been experiencing and the complete lack of anything substantial being done, this is the first I hear from him. Mind you, over a year has gone by and no progress was made and the HOA increased their pressure - not back off. An ADR letter was sent out that was ignored by both parties. Prior to that, cease and desist letters were sent that were also ignored. Literally nothing was done for me besides sending a few nasty letters. No mediation, no physical meetings, no court/lawsuit and no forward progress was made after a year with them and wanted to charge me over $11,000. Some of the costs for me included having talks amongst each other about my case at the office, rewrites of letters that I had to correct them on errors about, and $50+ emails all typically billed at the highest rate. I'm in a worse off position now than I was a year ago. Ryan Davies and this firm should be ashamed to even consider charging someone for a service that produced no results, never went to mediation/court as wanted and promised, and worsened a situation. read more

I requested a consultation with your office but have not received a call or any response. I understand that you may be busy; however, I do expect at least a brief acknowledgment or update. Responsiveness is important to me when selecting legal representation. read more

I do not recommend this firm-Big promises, Big bills and no results. I just let them go from my case. Failed to inform me that they and my HOA had agreed on a mediator for ADR and instead led me to believe the HOA was still being uncooperative while encouraging me to send a demand letter and then schedule a litigation call. A week AFTER the litigation transfer call with a senior attorney I was told I had to Proceed in good faith and give the HOA the remaining time (60days) to complete an ADR. I was so confused. This information should have been provided to me PRIOR To my spending thousands on the litigation transfer call. During that 60 day period my attorney never reached out the mediator to get the ADR on calendar-he just waited and blamed the HOA for not doing it when the deadline passed. It has been 6 months since I engaged LS Carlson and zero progress has been made. Gaslighting me when I bring up my concerns. I write reviews to protect others-I would never write a bad review from anything other than an actual experience read more

Excessive exorbitant billing fees with reluctances in showing actual requested evidence of work performed for services rendered.

This law firm has completely restored my faith in attorneys. Every person I've worked with has been knowledgeable, approachable, and straightforward--no nonsense, just genuine care and professionalism. I want to give special thanks to Luke, Kitty, and Andrew for always coming through for me. Their dedication, support, and kindness have made all the difference, and I am truly grateful. read more

My experience with LS Carson Law PC was excellent. Kitty provided outstanding support. She has a rare ability to truly listen and understand your situation, and her approach is both calming and supportive. That combination makes a huge difference, and I always feel reassured that things will work out after our conversations. read more

I just called and spoke with Kitty, she is super fantastic!! Love these guys and all the useful information they provide on YouTube!! Highly Recommend read more

This firm is a joke! I thought they fight for owners of the HOA only, I liked their website so I decided to hire a lawyer due to ongoing dispute of the water intrusion to the apartment below the apartment I own.THE HOA has been harassing me and my tenants for years to make written threats to evict them etc.Make a long story short, I called LS Carlson and the first question the paralegal asked me : " How much money can you afford to spent?". I answered $10,000( ten thousand dollars) and she said: " Do you want me give you phone numbers for companies which does not charge for hourly rate like us but just for 15 minutes?" I got an easy feeling but said " No, I want your firm" She sent a link for an hourly rate $300 which I paid but the lawyer was playing the devils' advocate at first and instead asking me questions how they can help me to take the HOA to the court , he just kept saying that I have rights and I need $ 100,000 dollars to appeal the summary judgment the HOA was granted by the judge since I represented myself and the HOA's Lawyer is a friend of HOA vice president. pathetic! I paid $300 for lawyer telling that I have rights! read more

I just called them after reading their web site. NO where in the website does it say that they charge a mandatory 1 hour fee to listen to your case at $400.00 per hour. I figure if I am going to POTENTIALLY hire them for a lot of $$ that I need to see them and see if they fit me as well. If they cannot spend a little time to see if we are a match than it is a NO GO. SO their website is a little misleading. They need to just post that they charge $400.00 to speak to you about your potential case. If they had done that it would have saved us both time as I am NOT interested in doing an interview with them at $400.00. read more

They're not cheap, but they helped me deal efficiently and effectively with harassment from my HOA. Ryan Davies did a great job of representing me at a hearing on a bogus "reimbursement assessment." After the hearing, the HOA Board voted unanimously to drop the matter. I'm an attorney myself, and I was impressed with Ryan's professionalism. HOA's can get out of control and power hungry. I'm glad there's a firm that's standing up for homeowners. read more

I highly recommend LS Carson Law. Professional, responsive, honest, and very knowledgeable. I had an issue with my HOA and hired LS Carson Law. My wife and I first spoke with Mr. Phong Tran. He explained the process very well, shared the relevance of our case within the Davis-Stirling act and all our options. We were then represented by Ms. Jessica Grau, she provided a detailed plan which gave us the opportunity to decide how to move forward. She followed through and it worked out in our favor. I'm very grateful. If I encounter future issues, I will reach out to LS Carson Law again. Everyone that we communicated with at the firm was excellent. Thank you for your hard work! read more

I can't say enough good things about this firm. I worked with Luke Carlson and Stephanie Reyes. The legal matter I was dealing with was truly awful and heartbreaking. With the sound consul and support from the Carlson team we not only "got through" but ended up with a better result than I'd dared hope for. But maybe more importantly, I felt taken care of during a period of my life that was incredibly difficult. read more

I trust Carlson Law for all my estate planning needs. Luke and team are top-notch in their areas of expertise and go the extra mile for their clients. I have peace of mind knowing the team at Carlson Law has set me and my family up for the future read more

Update to my previous review. After posting my review I received a call from the firm. They apologized for the incorrect charges and were very quick to correct this misunderstanding. I was greatly relieved. The letter to the solar company has been sent and we are waiting for their response. Ls Carlson Firm has been keeping me in the loop and has restored my confidence with this firm. We are moving forward and hoping to reach a positive solution. I would definitely recommend this firm. Big kudos! I see a pattern here with other posts. All I needed was a letter sent to the solar panel company informing them that I had retained Ls Carlton Attorney services and will be represented by them during mediation. I too gave them a retainer and did not hear from them for close to two months later, was assigned an attorney and had a telephonic meeting. After 2 months of hearing nothing, I get an astronomical bill that is due within days. I have yet to see a letter to solar company. Will update this issue with more to follow. As of yet, not too impressed. read more

Their initial contact was promising, until they received $2,500 retainer from me. No contacts after that, except charging my CC. They were supposed to work with HOA and their insurance. All they did over several months was to get CCRs document from the HOA, which I had already provided them. Charged me almost $3,000 (not including the retainer) without even talking to to HOA or insurance. read more

I needed a consultation and was looking for a good attorney online. I found LA Carlson on Yelp. After reading the positive reviews I decided to give them a call. The initial communications and appointment was very smooth. On the day of the appointment I spoke with Luke who was very knowledgeable, understanding and compassionate. He offered to call him again at no extra cost if I needed further assistance which I did. This was a very very positive experience. I will definitely call Luke if I needed any assistance or guidance in the future. read more

Kirk Pearson and Shelby Daws represented me in a convoluted legal matter that took nearly two years to resolve. The quality and efficiency of their professional services surpassed all expectations . In fact, this dynamic duo was so effective that the opposing party changed their legal representation twice and still were no match for the LS Carlson Law team. I was delighted with the final outcome of my legal matter and will definitely engage their services in the future should the need arise. G. read more

Carlson Law is fantastic. I was scheduled for an introductory session with Kirk. Explained my case. He was very knowledgeable and fair. Gave me a lot of practical advice in how to approach a trial or settlement. An all around gentleman and great law firm. Thank you!!! read more

LS Carlson Law is the place to go for any HOA disputes. Everyone at the firm was professional and efficient. Justin Walley was great to work with. He was very diligent, kept us informed and was conscientious with billing-which was very much appreciated. I highly recommend this firm! read more

DO NOT DO BUSINESS with this incompetent law firm. These negligent attorneys failed to meet a mediation deadline for which an extension was later declined (the Hoa's right to do). This resulted in my ability to only bring a law suit if I pay the legal fees of the HOA attorneys. They come off as strong and forceful, but they are incompetent. read more

Luke Carlson and entire staff are the kindest professional company I have ever worked with. Thanks for your help.

I contacted LS Carlson after being recommended by a friend. I had a business challenge that I needed help with, and they were very responsive and easy to work with. They helped me understand the issue thoroughly and were very clear in their explanation. Also very professional and wasted no time in getting the work done. I am grateful for their help and would recommend him to anyone looking for legal assistance. read more

My experience with LS Carlson Law, especially with Attorney Tim Mahar, was exceptional in all respects. This positive experience began with Kathryn Urrutia, Client Services Specialist. She responded promptly and accommodatingly regarding requests such as a change in appointment time, telephone access questions, and document submission. She understood I felt anxious about getting "my money's worth". Every minute with Attorney Tim Mahar was indeed worthwhile. This began with Tim's willingness to read a full overview of my case prior to my first meeting with him. Thus, much less time was wasted providing background. Tim Mahar not only grasped my case legalistically, he also showed compassion for my situation. He showed a patience with me that enabled me to present all the points I wanted to cover. I felt my case was important to him. In addressing my questions and concerns, his communication style was very direct, clear and logical. I recall thinking he would also make a great teacher. My issue involved an HOA dispute. It was obvious Attorney Tim Mahar had extensive experience with HOA disputes, including my more novel landscaping issue. Tim Mahar made me totally aware of my legal rights were, including very specific advice on what course of action to take. He detailed the legal process I needed to go through to pursue my full legal rights. He knew exactly how to pursue a claim against an HOA, giving me clear directives and a specific sequence to follow. Tim Mahar's advice was realistic rather than sugar-coated. He did not want me to "throw good money after bad". He gave me a realistic outlook regarding the costs of different options and the likelihood of prevailing in my case. I felt he had a good sense of how HOA Boards and judges would react to the different options we discussed. Overall, my initial meeting with Attorney Tim Mahar was totally worthwhile and money well spent. He generously closed the meeting saying I could email him further questions that I may have forgotten to ask him. Given the realistic perspective I gained from my meeting with Tim Mahar, I think I can pursue my rights making use of the best options available. I have a good sense of what I need to do and feel fortunate having Tim Mahar by my side. Signed, A Very Satisfied Client. read more

I contacted LS Carlson Law to handle a complicated probate case I was involved in. They immediately knew what to do, and how to proceed. I was very confident in their representation. They are excellent lawyers and great people. They closed out my case successfully and legally. I highly recommend them and would use them again if needed. read more

These guys are a joke... ask how many trials they have actually done. KK didn't even show. Smoke and mirror law firm. Afraid to give client complete file to find a real HOA attorney. Even has people threaten that give bad reviews. Run save your time only care is $$$. That's was his first words. How much $ you got... RUN read more

Impressive. I contacted this law firm for an H.O.A. situation. From the first contact with Mollie, I was impressed, she had me set up with a consultation in no time. Mollie was engaging and friendly. My consultation was with attorney Nick Tomic. Wow, informative, listened to my concerns, he was easy to understand and I had all my questions answered. Nick, thank you, you gave me a good sense of direction and I am more clear and focused! Nick Tomic kept things real and never rushed me along. I wanted my HOA documents explained and he did that. I wanted direction, he did that! The reviews for this firm are true, not money hungry attorneys after your money. Thanks Nick for being one of the good guys! read more

Knowledgeable, Responsive and take charge. We are early in the game but I like the way Jeff and and the team are leading the charge.

I was in need of legal advice regarding an HOA problem. I turned to Yelp for suggestions and reached out to LS Carlson Law. I couldn't be happier with the help I received from Shane. He took an overwhelming problem and walked me thru how to address the issue. Shane was very knowledgeable, professional and caring. He asked me to let him know how his suggestions went, and to please reach out if I had any other questions. When I did, Shane answered my questions and continued to advise me without any additional charge. Amazing...I can't thank Shane enough. read more

LS Carlson Law is the cream of the crop within the legal field. The brilliant lawyers and caring support staff are not only empathetic but in my opinion exhibit the highest standards of professionalism and ethics. I'd recommend them to EVERYONE : ) read more

After receiving several invalid notices of non-compliance from my HOA, I hired the Kushner Carlson team to advocate my case. The HOA board I was dealing with was not only uninformed, but also ignoring the fact they had a board member who openly engaged in bullying and harassment. To make matters worse, the property management company hired by the HOA was equally uninformed and did nothing to mediate or circumvent the problem. I received several notices of non-compliance that were in no way supported by the community rules or CCR's. Once I hired Kushner Carlson, Nicholas Caplin and Sara Etemadi took over and kicked things into gear. They stopped the property management company from issuing invalid non-compliance letters and educated both the board and property management company regarding the governing CCR's. I cannot guarantee I won't be harassed by my unstable neighbor, but at least she's not serving on the board anymore. I firmly believe my issue would not have been favorably resolved without legal representation. I would and will hire Kushner Carlson again should I find myself in a similar situation. I recommend this firm highly. read more

We live in a condo and had a very challenging experience with our Board of Directors who placed flood lights directly outside our window, which were not compliant with city code. After exhausting all avenues with no success, we looked for a law firm to assist us with this problem. We came upon LS Carlson Law and were represented by Steven Shack. We found Steven to be very informative and explained in full detail all of our options going forward. Steven was extremely thorough and personable. He responded promptly to all questions and was quick in getting all our requests in motion. Steven presented our case at the Cities Code Compliance hearing. where his detailed presentation and professional rapport with the Magistrate was successful at winning our case. Steven was an pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend him and LS Carlson Law to anyone looking for legal assistance. We are forever grateful .
