Our initial consultation with Jeff Kominsky was extremely informative. It provided great insight into issues that residents face with their HOA’s, responsibilities that associations have regarding fair and equal treatment to all residents and methods for getting issues resolved.
Shane Michell, an attorney who specializes in homeowners association law, with the LS Carlson Law, PC firm provided us with articulate and insightful advice about an "off the wall" assertion made by our HOA. His advice was based in law and common sense. We highly recommend him and his firm.
LikeI do not give praise out lightly. I expected a lot from my attorney’s at LS Carlson Law. And they delivered. Our attorney’s, Jeffrey Kominsky and Keith Lehman, were professional and courteous at all times. These two know the law. We sat down with them, explained our situation and what we wanted. Jeffrey Kominsky listened intently and gave us his honest thoughts. Not just what we wanted to hear or hoped to hear, but the reality of the situation. Both good and bad. It was clear they were straight shooters and honest.From the start, they kept us updated. Not daily. (Thank God). But as things happened, we were informed by Keith Lehman. If they needed something from us, Keith’s requests were clear and direct. If I sent either Jeff or Keith a question, I got a quick response. Each step of the way, Jeff was clear about our options and always reminded us it was our choice in which door we choose.We decided to try mediation rather than going to court. Keith and Jeff not only prepared a deck that clearly explained our position, but they also walked us through it prior to mediation so that we clearly understood it. The PPT was thorough, direct, and backed by facts and case law. In short, excellent.When it came to the mediation, I would say we felt there was zero percent chance of it working. Maybe we could get to agreement on a few minor issues, but no way would this work. I was wrong. Jeff Kominsky laid out or position clearly and articulately. The opposing counsel’s presentation, if you could call it that, was terrible in comparison. (I have to believe the opposition wished they had Jeff and Keith representing them!) After hours and hours of back and forth, despite my disbelief, we reached an agreement. It was amazing.To say we are satisfied with the representation we received from Jeffrey Kominsky and Keith Lehman at LS Carlson Law is an understatement. We are VERY satisfied. If you find yourself in need of representation, we highly recommend LS Carlson Law and specifically Jeffrey Kominsky and Keith Lehman.

1Jeff and the LS Carlson law firm were absolutely amazing to work with!! They made sure all my questions were answered and were not just after a retainer fee. They listened to my issue and guided me how to tackle the issue myself without going the costly legal route. After my initial meeting, I was able to successfully take care of my HOA dispute. I had one final question to make sure the HOA response was acceptable and Jeff called me back right away. Highly recommend this group!!!!
1Outstanding law firm. Really took the time to understand my situation and to offer sound legal advice and strategy. Highly recommended. They were prompt and very courteous. Check them out if you need advice or assistance….
1I am the owner of a law firm in San Francisco and Luke and his team are our go to law firm for clients who need a rock star business litigator. If you need an attorney who specializes in disputes, please give Luke a call. You will be very glad that you did.
1Great firm - handled my HOA issue perfectly
1I have worked with several attorneys over the 40+ years I have been in business and LS Carlson Law is the only law firm I felt put my problem first and not hell bent on running up a massive bill. Their team is incredibly sharp and was able to solve my issue quickly but, most importantly, they are honest—a rare trait for a law firm these days.
3Outstanding professionalism, courtesy and honesty. Extremely competent in HOA and neighborhood issues. Only billed for hours worked, never an overcharge.. Mr. Kominsky and Mr. Lehman make a terrific team. I highly recommend them.
LikeWe worked with Dallis on a long, drawn out HOA case that involved our home being flooded by the HOA's personal property (sprinklers). We had hit dead ends trying to solve the issue on our own and fought with the HOA and management company for almost 9 months. Once we hired Dallis she hit the ground running and worked so hard to get us in mediation. Once in mediation, Dallis was able to get a deal worked out that we were comfortable with. Fast forward six months later and Dallis still checks up on us to ensure everything is okay. We referred a neighbor to her who is experiencing sprinkler damage as well and she is also over the moon happy with Dallis's work. While this situation was far from easy or enjoyable, Dallis helped reduce the stress and anguish while getting us the result we wanted.
3Five stars
LikeJeff, Keith and the team at LC Carlson Law are second to none. After finding alleged violations of Florida Statute 718 "The Condo Act" I attempted to resolve these matters on my own, but it quickly became clear I needed representation. Knowing Florida is the condo capital of the country, I figured it would be rather easy to find fierce council that would protect my property rights and my investment. I was surprised to find that most attorney's will only represent COAs but not individual property owners. I was very initially uncomfortable retaining a law firm for bringing action against my own COA, but even moreover, with a firm that was nearly 2 hours away from where I live. It's clear geography does not matter, and the stigma lawyers have of poor communication isn't true with this team. The communication and use of technology made any distance a non - issue. The follow up via email almost weekly was very helpful at putting my mind at ease. I really felt like I had someone who understood just how personal this was for me. I quickly learned that while 718 seems cut and dry, it really isn't and it is important to take on these situations with an experienced team working on my behalf. In addition to the excellent communication, their level of transparency was outstanding. I always knew where I stood with my claim, what risks were involved, and always given all of the information needed to make an informed decision. I really cannot thank Jeff, Keith and the team at LC Carlson Law enough for the excellent representation. The candor and care shown by this team without a doubt speaks to their integrity and their desire to always put their client first. I will definitely use them for all of my future condo/real estate needs- although I hope there aren't any!
1I 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.
LikeMy review is of your Boca Raton, FL office. The knowledge and experience of this team is more than I could have expected! The communication from Jeff and the team was excellent. Jeff and Keith kept me informed every step of the way, and while not always what I wanted to hear, their candor and desire to provide me with all of the facts/possible outcomes to make an informed decision is what I feel makes this firm above the rest. The technology employed by this firm never once made me consider the 2.5 hour distance between us. It really made it easier for me using modern day technology versus snail mail to submit documents/communicate. Thank you Boca Team! You stepped in to protect my rights as a property owner, and I couldn't be any more thankful for our success.
LikeIt was easily identifiable that LS Carlson has extensive knowledge and experience when it comes to condominium law. They were very professional, treated me with respect, and were responsive to the needs of my case every step of the way.
LikeKnowledgeable, with experience regarding major issues, responded quickly to address my concerns and lessened my stress level! Shared specific information and best advice to go forward.Thank you!
1I researched and called several so-called "HOA Attorneys," and it was clear that LS Carlson Law was the only firm that actually had a real track record. Do your homework. It only took a few weeks to end my multi-year dispute, and the HOA ended up having to pay my attorney fees! I couldn't be happier!
3As a victim of a leaking problem, we had tried to deal with our HOA by ourselves for more than 3 months. There were no words which could have described our frustration, anger and fear through the process during the pandemic.Eventually we reached LS Carlson Law PC (was Kushner Carlson PC) for help. Divya Bhavsar was our attorney to handle the issue. WOW, She is the best!!! She is absolutely efficient, knowledgeable and professional. She made sure that we understood the process and provided proper legal advice. We felt very easy to communicate with her and everything with the law firm was crystal clear.Of course the issue was resolved smoothly and satisfactory. Thank you, Divya :)We highly recommend Divya Bhavsar and the law firm to anybody who has issue with your unreasonable HOA's. You will not be regretted.
5If you live in Orange County, you most probably have a H.O.A. Some of you are going to be the unlucky ones, by getting stacked with unresponsive and occasionally disgusting behavior by the H.O.A. management and the Board of Directors. In that case call Kushner Carlson, P.C.., I did and my problems got solved, all repairs carried out and all my legal expenses refunded by the H.O.A.
7When we needed advice on how to take care of a situation with our HOA, we needed a firm that works just with condo owners. I could not believe that it was possible to find one of these firms.We had called other firms and they were looking to charge us thousands of dollars just to start.Audrey at Kushner Carlson, was there to guide us first to see what we had available to us with the Condo Law 718 of Florida to do it ourselves first. She educated us on what we had available to us at very little cost(1 hour of her time) and we got results after this conversation.HOA backed off, knew we had a case.They are not there to "rip you off", in fact, I am so grateful that they walked us through what was ultimately a one page letter.If you are an owner, definitely go to Kushner Carlson for your help
6I reached out to them after my stupid HOA refused to do its job. They got the job done, got me all my fees back, and taught the HOA a lesson. They won't be messing with me in the future. Giv them a call if youre having problems with your HOA - you won't regret itUpdate: I called them back with more questions and they were quick to help. I was able to speak with the same attorney again, thanks to Renee, and get direction moving forward. It's nice to know that I have these guys in my corner. Highly HIGHLY recommend!!! Professional, smart, and aggressive.
3I would like to highly recommend the law firm of Kushner Carlson. We had been looking for a firm that would help us in a dispute with our HOA. We called their office and had the pleasure of speaking with Attorneys, Mr. Nicholas Caplin and Ms. Divya Bhavsar. They felt strongly that we had a great case. Our needs were put first and we were never made to feel like Ms. Divya Bhavsar would just fit us into her schedule. She listened and valued our views and our uncertainties. Our nerves were always calmed and the process was always explained in great detail to us, both verbally and in writing. Ms. Divya Bhavsar always went above and beyond to ensure a great outcome. Ms. Bhavsar was always on top of her game and never missed a beat!! Straight forward is an understatement when speaking about Ms. Bhavsar. Ms. Bhavsar's friendship, courteous way, knowledge and honesty became very important during our entire case. Ms. Divya Bhavsar was a brilliant attorney and we could not have asked for a better law firm or attorney. We will only use Kushner Carlson Law Firm should we have another HOA or real estate issue.
3First off I want to thank Renee for her knowledge and understanding in discussing ways to approach the abuse of power and unlawful harassment that the HOA has been causing me and my family. Her motivation and well worded explanations wished I could of hired her to help with my case. Divya was also helpful, but due to the nature of my problems I was unable to move forward with retaining Kushner and Law to represent me. They are totally understanding and fair given the feedback I provided to them. Thank you for all that you do to help individuals, families and communities build a better future.
2After 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.
2I hired Sara Etemadi and the team at Kushner Carlson after I discovered that the house I just purchased had major structural defects that would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to repair. The seller failed to disclose these defects at any point during the purchase and sale transaction. As a first-time homebuyer, I had no clue what my options were. I talked to several attornies, and most of them told me that I had little to no chance to win the case. Ms. Etemadi was extremely knowledgable and an exceptional advocate. She guided me through the entire process and was a force to be reckoned with. Ultimately, Ms. Etemadi achieved the resolution I was hoping and praying for. For this, I am eternally grateful and would highly recommend her and their firm. they have an outstanding law practice!
3I reached out to them after my stupid HOA refused to do its job. They got the job done, got me all my fees back, and taught the HOA a lesson. They won't be messing with me in the future. Givee them a call if youre having problems with your HOA - you won't regret it
5My experience could not have been better. I had excellent communication and a clear understanding of my options. Renee was very empathetic and provided a professional and sincere concern for my needs. Working with a law firm can be intimidating and I have great confidence in their abilities.
2Absolutely stellar law firm. My property dispute was complex and on going. From my initial call, communication with Ms. Etamadi and final resolution with Mr. Caplin, attention to detail and authentic concern for my best interests were paramount. Thank you! I hope to not need legal services in the future but if I do, this is where I will turn.
1I love how professional this company my best experience and the reason I'm writing this review thanks to Renee she is the most amazing person súper profesional all the way, she made me feel My issue matter and I could be help !!!! I could express myself she listened to me was really nice over the phone you can tell she smiles and has your best interest when you talk to her so I highly recommend them!!! thank you Renee for your professionalism and caring having someone like her represents how great company is
1For nearly a decade, I've trusted this law firm with all of my real estate issues. From simple disputes to full blown litigation, they are my trusted advocates. Also, I know first hand that not only lawyers but also judges use this firm for legal representation. In my book, that is the best endorsement you can get!
2Great experience. Knowledgeable and professional.

2Love this group
1Kushner Carlson helped me with my nightmare, HOA issue. Thanks to their bulldog team , I had a successful outcome. They are too notch !!!! FIVE STARS!!
1After years of HOA harassment including but not limited to bad faith, selective enforcement and breach of fiduciary duty I contacted a few attorneys. Some said there's really nothing they could do or "work internally" to resolve the problem but I knew that wasn't an option at that point in time. Then I contacted Kushner-Carlson and they immediately formulated a legal plan. Dominic Carucci and Spencer Shain were brilliant in the breath and depth of the construction of a demand letter against the HOA and ultimately they achieved an equitable solution. They were confident, reassuring and most importantly astutely grasped all aspects of a highly contentious HOA matter. I'm forever grateful for their dedication to excellence and legal representation. Thank you!
4We received a crazy, threatening , unsubstantiated letter from our Board of Directors in our HOA. Mr Nicholas Caplin and Ms Divya Bhavsar sent them a forceful letter that stopped them in their tracks.I highly recommend them. They don't push you to spend more money, but it fels good to know you have them in your corner when you are being harrassed by your BOD !M.H.
3This firm knows the law and goes above and beyond to help their clients, great customer service, and they always return phone calls.
3Originally came in with a rental property issue of mine, and they were helpful. What really changed my opinion was when Mr. Carlson reached out to me to discuss my previous issue and took the time to discuss another issue that I was having with an eviction. Even though I already proceeded with another attorney, he searched and found me one that I could consult and ask further questions. I will definitely consult this firm again in the future for any other needs.
3The best firm in California for real estate disputes, bar none. I hired Kushner Carlson to assist me with a complicated water damage case. And, through this firm's relentless representation, we forced BOTH my HOA and my horrible neighbor to compensate me for the extensive water damage they caused to my property! So thankful for these sharks and I cannot speak highly enough of them!! PS - this review was long overdue!
5Pro Tip: Hire this law firm before your opponent does. After working with two other law firms, I transferred my rather large real estate dispute to this law firm, based upon my business partner's recommendation. Almost immediately, Kushner Carlson gained much needed leverage over my opponent by ramping up the aggression tenfold (while my previous attorneys were great litigators, they were not advancing the case as zealously as I had expected). As a result of this, we strong-armed the other side into submission and they are now paying dearly for crossing me! Very blessed to have found Kushner Carlson when I did.
8Most aggressive firm I've ever encountered and that is saying a lot as I've dealt with lawyers and law firms for the last 20+ years!
1Luke and his partner Mike assisted me for a long while on my various business dealings (which, as an aside, they outperformed every law firm that I've ever used). More recently, they represented me personally in a very hostile HOA case. In it, they destroyed the other side (which was my highly negligent HOA and an awful HOA President) and I walked away with everything I demanded - and more : ) So, much appreciated and I'm blessed to have you guys on my side!
7I've been using KC for years on several business related lawsuits with awesome success. A year ago, I retained the firm's real estate division to prosecute a multi-million dollar real estate issue I had personally involving property damage, negligence, and the city/county. As expected, they did a wonderful job ensuring my rights were aggressively enforced. They are the best of the best in a legal field saturated with great lawyers. That says a lot!
3Heavy hitters!!!Exceptional lawyers. This has been my go-to law firm for over a decade. Simply the best.
4Best law firm in California for real estate and business disputes. I've used this firm for almost a decade with outstanding results - this review is the least I can do : )
LikeI called to speak to one of their attorneys on this past Tuesday. When I asked the person that answered the phone if they take Easement use dispute cases, she told me she would have to check... first strike, how does the person answering the phones not know what areas of law the attorneys at the firm practice. Anyway, she told me a scheduler will be calling me to make an appointment to speak with one of their attorneys. I thought I would get a call back that day but I didn't. I figured for sure, by the next day (24 hours later) that the scheduler would call me but I didn't receive a call. I had forgotten about it by Thursday when I received a call just past 4:30pm. The lady on the phone told me she was the scheduler from Kushner Carlson and that she would like to know if it would be ok to schedule me for a 3:50pm call for the next day, Friday. I agreed and low and behold, come Friday at 3:50pm I did not get a call. I thought maybe he is running behind..4pm - no call, 4:30pm - still no call, 5pm - you guessed it! NO call. Well, I never got a call that day and that for me is very scary! I've talked to numerous attorneys in the process of trying to find someone that's the right fit for the case but I am relieved that Kushner Carlson eliminated themselves and saved me the trouble of eliminating what poor work ethic and professionalism they possess after I give them a 10k retainer. Obviously I see that they're appreciated by 9 other yelpers but suffice it say, I'm neither one of them would I ever recommend or consider retaining an attorney that doesn't call when they say. PS. I've attached a photo that shows they called Thursday with no subsequent call at the scheduled time
8The firm's business protection plan safeguarded my company. So grateful for Luke's proactive and innovative approach to business protection! Thanks for everything!!

4The attorneys at Kushner Carlson represent both my company and myself personally. It’s so convenient having a law firm behind me that can address all of my legal needs - which, most of the time, are exceptionally complex in nature. I would recommend them to anyone.
4I had an eviction case against me and I met with Luke. He spent a good hour with me as I explained my rent was all paid and that this was strictly retaliation against me for having a slum lord fined by the City. He explained how to handle this on my own because he knew how expensive this could be for me and wasn't necessary. He gave me stellar advice and I even offered to pay him. What an amazing person he is. This is best way I can think of to say "Thank You". He even followed up with me and I felt badly for taking his time. I will always remember his kindness and will refer people to him and the firm. I greatly appreciate your help. There are still GOOD people!!!!!
8I've been a paralegal for over 20 years. As such, I have several option when it comes to hiring an attorney for myself. That said, for several years now, I've relied exclusively on this firm for everything real estate. Mike, Luke, and their amazing team are the best in this industry, period (and after two decades working in the legal field, I can safely say I know this field well and all of the major players). In my opinion, this firm represents the future of law firns. Aggressive, smart and tech savvy lawyers who produce results. Forever grateful and so pleased to watch then turn into the "go to" law firm!
4Rare review: A few years back my former business partner filed a lawsuit against me. Kushner Carlson represented my partner. Basically, I thought I was going to squash this lawsuit by hiring a massive, name-brand law firm. Very, very long story short, Kushner Carlson absolutely annihilated my "renowned" legal team to such a degree that I was forced to file for BK. Then, thinking I was able to distance myself from the lawsuit, Kushner Carlson filed another lawsuit against me in the BK court - which my lawyers were unable to defend against and I literally lost everything.I guess this is why they are referred to as the "wolves of Aliso" within the legal community. Today, I'm rebuilding my import/export business and this is the ONLY firm I would trust in a high-stakes/all-out-war lawsuit (as I've experienced first hand their aggression).PS I removed a star from this review because of the pain and financial devastation they put me thru ; )
4I'm an IP lawyer with property in both Silicon Valley and Southern California. Must say that these lawyers are without question the best in the business. Awhile back, they were the legal industry's best kept secret, i.e., the firm that lawyers and judges retained when they needed aggressive representation, but it appears that based on all of these reviews that the word is out! Superb work K&C! Look forward to tomorrow's meeting : )
4Mr. Carlson was very helpful in his complimentary free telephone consultation. He had read the description of my situation online, asked a few questions, and then told me that a collections lawyer would be better for my case than a real estate lawyer. He gave me the number of the L.A. bar association so that I could receive a referral, but the person who answered the phone was combative and unhelpful. When I called the Kushner Carlson office back to warn them not to give anyone else that number, Mr. Carlson returned my call and spent several more minutes talking to me, soothing my frazzled nerves, listening to the specifics of my case, and recommending approaches. Although I live too far from his office to use Mr. Carlson's services, I appreciated his free assistance on the telephone and would recommend him to anyone, but especially to high-strung, elderly black women who prefer to be treated with respect and compassion.
6For almost 10 years, I've been retaining Mike and his litigators on various real estate and business disputes that have come up in both my personal and professional life. Based on that history, I can confirm that they are southern California's go-to powerhouse law firm. In fact, we've won across the board and have even gone so far to sue an attorney and his client who filed a frivolous lawsuit against me and drove the two of them into the ground, that's how ruthless they are. Writing this recommendation is the least that I can do for Kushner Carlson!
3Hands down the best attorneys I've ever used. I'm originally from the east coast where I ran several major companies over the years and worked with the top law firms. After moving to Southern California I was unfortunately in need of some "hard as nails" litigators. I started with the larger firms in the area but was eventually referred to Kushner Carlson. Since doing so, I've never looked back. These guys are the real deal! Clever, aggressive, and exceptional in the court room. Could not thank these guys enough - hence my online reviews and unqualified recommendation!!
3Firstly, I should say that they never really did any work for me or my company. I was, however very impressed by the free phone consultation during which Mr. Carlson was very candid with me. He asked me some questions about my company told me that, while his firm could help me with the kind of documents and contracts that my new business needs, that I would be better served to find a solo business practitioner that would charge a flat rate rather than his full hourly rate that he would need to charge. Thanks for not selling me more than I need and giving me excellent guidance.
4Kushner Carlson is amazing, amazing, amazing. I've been living in SoCal my whole life and am well aware of the massive corruption that occurs with many of these HOAs. To my surprise, my community was no exception. Basically, my HOA refused to repair my property after they caused massive water damage that resulted from their blatent negligence. After going at it alone for several months, I retained this firm after interviewing coutless others. And, shortly after doing so, Kushner Carlson was able to put my awful HOA in their place and forced them into a settlement at mediation, I actually settled for more than what I was antcipating due to the HOA's fear that Kushner Carlson would sue them!My only regret is that I did not retain them sooner!!!
4I've used all the large name brand law firms and can say that Luke and his team outperformed all of then. In fact, I've turned over all of my company's transaction and litigation matters and can say that these guys deliver every time. Thanks Luke, Mike, and team!! See you next week!
4I talked on the phone with Luke Carlson about a month and a half ago for 15 minutes. He answered the questions I had about an issue I have with the HOA. I schedule an appointment with him a month later to see what legal action I can take. They had a great hospitality since I got there. He had his notes about our conversation so it was easier to explain everything faster. He explained all of my options and he walked me through the process.
4Dangerously smart lawyers!! Retained this law firm during both a heated real estate dispute and a complex business dispute and came out on top. And the icing on the cake was both of my opponents were driven into the ground. I’m forever grateful – hence my review!!
1This is the law firm that other lawyers go to when they need a lawyer. This team has assisted me over the years in various business disputes (and recently, a hostile HOA dispute). Aggressive. Smart. Ethical.
3WATER DAMAGE! This team knocked it out of the park with my very severe water damage case. They were easy to work with - this was the first time I've ever had to hire a law firm. So blessed : - )
15 Stars
1I've worked on a case involving Kushner Carlson, and found them to be outstanding, aggressive lawyers. I even considered bringing them into a complex fraud case as well. They are really smart and work hard.
4Aggressive & smart team of business litigators. I own several businesses and have (unfortunately) been involved in multiple lawsuits. After firing my previous mega law firm - I decided to take a chance with a more mid-size firm. Needless to say, I couldn't have been more impressed by the strategic and efficient way the Kushner Carlson team fought my case! Awesome outcome.

3Excellent Law Firm! Professional and attentive from the onset of my experience. Mr. Carlson was clear and concise regarding my specific business needs and his Associates were supportive and highly communicative. Would highly recommend.
3Won massive lawsuit against my HOA. Luke and his firm was very aggressive against a terribly mismanaged HOA. Couldn't recommend Kushner Carlson enough - thanks!!
3I've been a client of Kushner Carlson for several years. Thankfully I haven't been in need of litigation support but I have confidently relied upon Kushner Carlson's business law expertise for a variety of other services, including contract writing and general counsel. Michael Kushner and Luke Carlson are incredibly knowledgeable, professional and truly uphold the firm's principles, which are aggressive, client centered, and innovative. I strongly recommend these guys to anyone seeking a business lawyer that get's things done.
3During a rather distasteful business dispute, I was hesitant to reach out for legal assistance as the dispute was with a family member. However, in searching for options I came across Jonathan Kent. He completely understood my situation and was able to help steer me through a difficult situation that could have easily turned into an expensive and litigious conflict if I didn't have his guidance looking after my interests and business.The only thing I would have done differently is getting to know Kushner Carlson before my dispute arose. I recommend getting to know a quality group like this before you find yourself in such a situation where you are desperately searching or in need of such a team to look after you.Thanks for the all the help and for providing continued protection for me and my business!
3Used this firm for my homeowners association dispute. It was a highly contentious situation as I was dealing with a completely unreasonable and biased HOA. However, after Kushner Carlson got involved and took an aggressive approach, the HOA ended up settling with me (even though I attempted to settle with them on my own for years!). Anyway, so happy with the results. These are now my go-to bulldogs!
3I've worked with Kushner Carlson for a number of years. As a small business owner, when making any decision that might have legal ramifications, whether it be entering partnerships, preparing contracts, or even legal questions, I always consult their firm.The thing I appreciate the most about Kushner Carlson is their aggressiveness and tenacity. I've never doubted the quality of their work, and I'm always very confident in the support and advice they give my company.I've made many recommendations to my close friends and family to use their firm, and I would make the same recommendation to anyone that cares about protecting their bottom-line and reducing their liabilities.
418 months ago I started a boutique business and the first thing I did was search for a great legal team. After meeting with four other attorneys I found Kushner Carlson online and set an appointment. From the moment I met Luke I knew he would be our companies lawyer, it was the best decision I made. Michael and Luke and their team, have shown me that their are lawyers that don't really know what they are doing and then their are lawyers like Michael and Luke (TOP NOTCH). If anyone ever needed a business attorney you need not look further, you will not find better. If I could give them 20 stars I would. Thank you!!!!!
2I have worked with attorney Luke Carlson on several complex issues ranging from contract review to employment law. As a small business owner I have had many requests for this firm and they provide timely expertise on anything I bring them. Luke Carlson will dive deep into language of contracts with a passion to protect me and my business. The entire team at Kushner Carlson PC is always helpful and accommodating. They make me feel like I am their only client. If you want a team that will have your back and keep you protected then look no further. Their broad legal knowledge and ability to explain even the most complex issues in a way that makes sense is invaluable. I would recommend Kushner Carlson to any small business owner.
1For several years, I've worked with Kushner Carlson and have looked to them for various business law services. From general counsel to drafting complicated contracts, they've consistently delivered exceptional expertise and dedication to my needs. Kushner Carlson is a boutique law firm so it is also very responsive and quick to get the job done. I would highly recommend Kushner Carlson to anyone in need of a business attorney.
2I know Michael Kushner and Luke Carlson, and these guys are the best attorneys out there, and I know because I have battled them. I would hire these guys if I needed a lawyer. And I don't hand out these types of recommendations lightly.
1Franchise gurus! This team assisted me with a franchise that I own. Basically, very large dispute with a large sum of money on the line. They came in "guns blazing" (as they say) and were able to get a quick resolution before the thing turned into a full blown lawsuit. What was most impressive about this is that my former business attorneys were unable to get this result even though they'd been on this case for over a year. I've now turned over my enite book of business to the firm and could not be more pleased with these lawyers!! A million thanks.
2I am small business owner. I recently came across Kushner Carlson for a business franchising issue and they handled it with the upmost professionalism. They helped me out the same day and gave me the peace of mind I was looking for. Definitely would recommend them to anyone with advice on their business.
1Professional, knowledgeable, WIN mentality & work ethic! Amazing staff! I'm POSITIVE I'll have more to add but am impressed already!
1This is the law firm that lawyers go to when they need a lawyer. Aggressive. Ethical. Smart. Over the years, I've worked with this team regarding an ongoing and rather contentious HOA dispute and a variety of business related issues. In all matters, I always came out ahead. And while this review is long overdue, I just wanted to publicly thank this team for all the brilliant work they've done for me. So, thank you, thank you, thank you!!
1Luke at Kushner Carlson saved me from a heart attack today! Luke is an absolute Godsend. My kids are looking at an eviction being on their record because the landlord is using retaliatory and harassing conduct. My lawyer in Los Angeles is so bad that it is the day before the court date and I just found out that we have a court date tomorrow! She did NOTHING in our best interest. I almost had a heart attack until I called Luke at Kushner Carlson. Luke listened to me, calmed me down and translated my horrible legal story into regular-person talk that I could understand. He probably saved me a trip to the ER. At NO REWARD to himself (!) he thoughtfully explained the next steps I should take to find a competent attorney in my area to navigate this Unlawful Detainer nightmare (unfortunately Luke could not handle the case in Pasadena - and he even told me it would be in my best interest to get an attorney familiar with Pasadena!). He LISTENED to my nightmare and helped me translate my problem into the important points to tell the next lawyer so that I could fire my current attorney and then get the very best attorney to help us going forward. Nobody should ever have to have such a terrible lawyer as the Los Angeles lawyer that just gave me a heart attack. Instead, ALL LAWYERS SHOULD BE LIKE LUKE! Thank you Luke!
3Water Damage!! After all of the rain we've been having this winter, my condo sustained a LOT of water damage caused by my HOA's disregard for keeping up with the maintenance on my roof. I felt completely overwhelmed with the situation until I reached out to Kushner Carlson and turned everything over to their litigation team. It was such a relief to have an aggressive law firm take over and put my HOA in their place! I got everything I was looking to achieve and I'll definitely turn to Kushner Carlson if I ever need legal help again!
1So, recently started my first company (clothing design meets tech), and needed a law firm near Newport. Reached out to this firm and met with Mike and Luke. They were awesome explaining what I needed to protect myself and were able to start my LLC, register my trademarks, and prep my customer agreements. Painless process!!
1Sharp team of business litigators. I own several businesses and have (unfortunately) been involved in multiple lawsuits. After firing my previous mega law firm - I decided to take a chance with a more mid-size firm. Needless to say, I couldn't have been more impressed by the strategic and efficient way the Kushner Carlson team fought my case! Awesome outcome.
1Michael Kushner is exactly what we needed - aggressive, aggressive, aggressive. Handled our business lawsuit better than we could have anticipated. Thanks, team! We still owe you dinner! : )
1Worked with Mike and Luke for years. Brilliant and aggressive attorneys that deliver. Helped me with an HOA lawsuit and a high-stakes business case and came out on top. Thanks gents!! Keep it up!!
1Couldn't be happier with Luke and his firm's representation of my business dispute. Their approach was spot on as my former business partner ended up dropping her frivolous claims within a month of the firm's involvement!
1I was in need of some legal counsel. It was one of those things where I needed five minutes to figure out if I was going in all the way. Having reached out to several attorneys, Luke Carlson was the only one who responded and eventually spent in the order of fifteen minutes on the phone with me, fleshing out the details and all my options. Ultimately, I decided it was best to punt on filing suit over this matter but felt compelled to return the favor with this review. Number one, Mr. Carlson knows his stuff. Two, he's not all about the money. Those two things came through loud and clear in our conversation. If you're hunting around for someone to trust in matters of Business and Real Estate Law, this is a man you can trust.
1We've been working with the Kushner-Carlson law offices since 2011 and they have become our in-house counsel at this point. We have utilized them for multiple litigations and have been more than impressed with their attention to detail and aggressive litigation pursuit methods. They have also provided us with multiple options that other firms had been unable to facilitate. We highly recommend this team of professionals.
1I couldn't be happier with the knowledge and experience that the attorneys at Kushner Carlson have. I wouldn't trust my business or real estate needs with any other law firm.
LikeBeen very happy with their level of service. They have won every motion that has impacted our cases with them.
