At LS Carlson Law, we make sure your homeowners’ association (HOA) or condominium association operates within its authority — not beyond it. A well-managed HOA can protect your property values and your peaceful enjoyment. But when that authority is misused — rules applied selectively, decisions made behind closed doors, enforcement that turns personal — the same system meant to protect homeowners begins to work against them.
Good HOAs are invaluable. Bad HOAs abuse their power.
That shift is rarely obvious at first. It usually starts small — an ignored maintenance request, inconsistent enforcement of CC&Rs, a board decision that simply doesn’t sit right. Over time, patterns emerge. Financial pressure builds. Restrictions tighten. And homeowners are left navigating a system that no longer feels fair, transparent, or accountable.
But HOAs are not above the law. Their authority is limited, contractual, and enforceable. When boards step outside those limits — through negligence, overreach, or intentional misconduct — homeowners have every right to take action. That’s the moment we exist for.
For over 20 years, LS Carlson Law has been the leading HOA attorney in California and Florida, helping homeowners assert their rights against negligent or abusive homeowner associations. We have pioneered successful legal strategies that others attempt to replicate, but no other law firm in the country has more experience or a higher success rate in HOA-related cases.

What We Fight
Types of Disputes We Handle
When an HOA stops playing fair, these are the fights we take on — and win.
When you purchase into a common interest community, your Board works for you. The homeowners are the principals and the Board is the agent entrusted with protecting what is often your greatest financial asset: your home and the shared property that supports its value. Maintaining roofs, drainage systems, slopes, structural components, and common amenities is not a courtesy or administrative preference. It is a fiduciary mandate imposed by governing documents and community association law. The law demands that boards protect the common property through reasonable maintenance, proper investigation of reported problems, consultation with qualified professionals when necessary, and responsible planning through the association’s reserve study. That reserve study functions as the community’s financial roadmap for long-term maintenance. When a board ignores it, postpones necessary repairs, or dismisses expert recommendations, the decision is not financial prudence—it is a reckless gamble with homeowner equity. Importantly, this duty is non-delegable. Management companies may assist with operations, but the fiduciary responsibility to protect the property and the community’s financial stability remains squarely with the board.
When that responsibility is ignored, the consequences escalate quickly. Minor drainage problems turn into structural damage, roof leaks expand into interior losses, and slope instability becomes a safety hazard that threatens insurance coverage and property value. The legal question then becomes whether your Board honored the fiduciary standard of care required of those managing property on behalf of others. Homeowners are not passive observers in this process. You have the right to verify, not simply trust, how your association is managing your property. Governing documents and state law give you the power to inspect records such as maintenance bids, engineering reports, and reserve studies that reveal whether the board is protecting the community or gambling with it. When boards ignore known risks, delay repairs without justification, or conceal the financial reality of deteriorating infrastructure, homeowners can demand corrective action, call special meetings, replace directors who neglect their duties, and pursue legal remedies for breach of fiduciary duty when necessary. Community associations exist to serve their members. If your Board is gambling with the maintenance of the property that protects your investment, accountability is not optional—it is the mechanism homeowners use to take back control.
CC&Rs: The Homeowner’s Bill of Rights
The declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) is the binding constitutional contract of every community association. Recorded against the land and enforceable against every owner in the community, the CC&Rs operate as the homeowner’s bill of rights—a two-way street that binds the board just as strictly as it binds the homeowner. While boards often invoke the CC&Rs to regulate property use or collect assessments, the same document places strict limits on the board’s power, defines the association’s maintenance obligations, and establishes the fiduciary duties owed to the membership. Courts consistently treat the CC&Rs as the controlling authority in community association disputes, meaning boards cannot selectively enforce provisions that benefit the association while ignoring provisions that protect homeowners. Because CC&Rs function as enforceable contracts, many declarations also contain fee-shifting provisions that allow prevailing homeowners to recover attorney’s fees—an important legal mechanism that enables owners to hold associations accountable when boards exceed their authority.
When Boards Break the Governing Contract
Most CC&R disputes arise not because the governing documents are unclear, but because boards choose to apply them inconsistently. Selective enforcement, arbitrary architectural denials, retaliatory rule enforcement, and the quiet abandonment of maintenance obligations are not merely governance mistakes—they are breaches of the governing contract and violations of the board’s fiduciary duty to the community. Courts reviewing these disputes frequently evaluate whether the board acted arbitrarily and capriciously, whether similarly situated homeowners were treated differently, and whether the association enforced its rules with the consistency that a binding contract requires. Policy preferences, aesthetic judgments, or internal politics do not override the governing documents. The CC&Rs exist to limit power, require transparency, and protect every homeowner equally. When a board attempts to use those documents as instruments of control while disregarding the obligations they impose on the association itself, the CC&Rs become the homeowner’s primary tool for restoring accountability.
No HOA board is above the law. Federal civil rights protections such as the Fair Housing Act (FHA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) apply fully inside community associations, and no provision in an HOA’s governing documents can override those protections. While boards exercise authority to manage the community, that authority is strictly limited by laws designed to protect where and how people live. Association authority ends where your civil rights begin. For homeowners, this means the board cannot use its enforcement power to impose rules that discriminate, exclude, or retaliate. Courts have repeatedly recognized that HOA governance must operate within the same civil rights framework that governs landlords, lenders, and other housing actors. When boards ignore those limits, they are not simply exercising discretion—they are engaging in governance overreach that exposes the association to serious legal liability.
Discrimination within an HOA rarely announces itself openly. More often, it appears disguised as “neutral enforcement” or procedural compliance. A board that denies a disability accommodation will often claim cost, precedent, or technical rule compliance rather than admit that federal law requires the accommodation. Yet the law is clear: reasonable accommodations are not favors a board may grant or deny at will—they are mandatory legal obligations. Courts and regulators look past the language of enforcement and instead examine patterns of conduct, including whether similarly situated homeowners were treated differently, whether rules are selectively applied, and whether enforcement intensifies after a homeowner asserts their rights. Red flags frequently include situations where an HOA: denies modifications necessary to accommodate a disability, restricts occupancy in ways that conflict with legally recognized family structures, refuses to recognize the housing rights of domestic partners, or enforces architectural and use restrictions in ways that disproportionately affect protected classes. Retaliation against a homeowner who raises a fair housing concern is not merely poor governance—it is a separate, actionable violation of federal law that can carry significant penalties. When a board crosses these lines, homeowners are not powerless. The law provides clear mechanisms to hold associations accountable, compel compliance, and ensure that community governance operates with the transparency, fairness, and respect for civil rights that the law demands.
High-density community living inevitably places homeowners in close proximity, but when a neighbor’s conduct damages property, creates persistent noise, causes water intrusion, or interferes with the quiet enjoyment of a home, the issue rarely remains just a dispute between two residents. In a community association, the CC&Rs function as a binding contractual framework designed to protect homeowners and preserve property values. When a board receives notice that a neighbor is violating those rules and fails to act, the association is no longer a neutral observer. Selective enforcement, favoritism, or simple inaction can transform a neighbor problem into a governance failure, because ignoring clear violations that harm another owner can amount to a breach of the association’s contractual obligations and a breach of fiduciary duty owed to the community.
The Board’s Fiduciary Trap and the Path to Resolution
Boards often attempt to shield inaction behind the “business judgment rule,” but discretion is not a license to abdicate responsibility. While boards have authority to exercise reasonable judgment in enforcing rules, they do not have the right to ignore documented violations that threaten a homeowner’s property, finances, or quiet enjoyment. When a board knowingly fails to enforce its governing documents, homeowners may have legal recourse to hold both the offending neighbor and the negligent board accountable. Homeowners facing these situations should move beyond informal complaints and begin documenting violations, demanding enforcement, and invoking formal processes such as Internal Dispute Resolution or a meet-and-confer with the board. Transparency and accountability are not optional principles in community governance; they are the mechanisms that ensure the rules protecting homeowners are actually enforced.
Common areas are not a peripheral feature of community association life—they are the shared assets homeowners collectively own and the board is legally obligated to protect. When a board fails to maintain those assets, it is not simply poor management. It is a breach of duty to the very people whose assessments fund the community. In a planned development, greenbelts, pools, and clubhouses are not decorative amenities. They are capital assets purchased and maintained with homeowner money, and their neglect can erode property values across the entire community. In condominium and stacked-structure communities, the stakes are even higher. The association typically controls the building envelope itself: roofs, exterior walls, shared plumbing systems, electrical infrastructure, hallways, and parking structures. These are the systems that keep units dry, structurally sound, and habitable. When they fail, the consequences are immediate and costly. Water intrusion can trigger mold, deferred structural repairs can accelerate building deterioration, and neglected infrastructure can lead to massive special assessments that fall directly on homeowners. Even so-called exclusive use common areas do not change the equation. A patio, balcony, or parking space may be reserved for one owner’s use, but it often remains the association’s maintenance responsibility. Boards cannot hide behind the label “exclusive use” to avoid obligations the governing documents place squarely on them.
These disputes are rarely random. They follow a familiar pattern of board inaction: roofs left unrepaired after leaks are reported, structural components ignored despite reserve study warnings, or encroachments onto common property tolerated until shared space is effectively lost. The moment the board receives notice of a problem, the legal landscape changes. At that point, the board loses the ability to claim ignorance and must act to protect the community’s property. If it does nothing while damage spreads, the association becomes legally and financially responsible for the consequences of that inaction. Courts evaluating these cases examine whether the board knew about the problem, whether it responded appropriately, and whether the governing documents clearly assign the duty of repair to the association. For homeowners, those governing documents are not abstract rules. They are the roadmap of accountability. They define exactly where the board’s obligations begin and where its excuses end. Because common areas belong to the membership collectively, neglect of those assets harms every owner at once. A leaking roof, deteriorating parking structure, or mismanaged infrastructure is not merely a maintenance issue. It is a direct threat to the value, safety, and financial stability of every homeowner in the community.
A community association board’s power is strictly conditional, not absolute. It exists only because the governing documents—the CC&Rs, bylaws, and rules—create a binding contractual framework between the association and every homeowner in the community. Those documents are not merely tools the board uses to regulate residents; they are also the homeowner’s contractual shield against board overreach. The board must follow them just as rigorously as the homeowners it governs. When a board enforces rules inconsistently, grants preferential treatment to some members while targeting others, or allows personal relationships to influence enforcement decisions, it is no longer exercising legitimate authority—it is breaching its fiduciary duty to the community. The law requires uniform application of the rules, equal treatment of similarly situated homeowners, and enforcement decisions grounded in legitimate community standards rather than personal preferences or social power.
Patterns of Abuse and the Legal Threshold
Selective enforcement rarely appears as a single isolated decision. Instead, it reveals itself through patterns of unequal treatment that undermine the contractual foundation of the association. Red flags frequently include:
Approving an architectural application for one homeowner while denying a materially identical request from another
Aggressively enforcing rules against a vocal critic while ignoring the same violation elsewhere in the community
Granting board members or favored allies privileges the association formally denies to the general membership
When these patterns emerge, the law demands a legitimate, neutral explanation for the disparity. If the board cannot provide one, the conduct becomes legally indefensible because it violates the fundamental requirement of consistent rule enforcement. Courts routinely recognize that a documented pattern of disparate treatment calls into question the integrity of the board’s governance itself. And when a board abandons the fair and uniform enforcement required by its governing documents, it risks forfeiting the protection of the Business Judgment Rule, exposing its decisions—and potentially its leadership—to direct legal challenge.
Negligence is one of the legal tools homeowners use to hold HOA boards accountable when they ignore problems that threaten the community’s property and safety. Once a board is notified of a dangerous condition—such as a failing roof, deteriorating walkway, or defective drainage system—the clock begins ticking. The board is not merely managing a neighborhood; it is exercising fiduciary authority over assets that belong collectively to the homeowners. When that authority is met with delay, indifference, or poor judgment, the law treats it as a breach of duty. The consequences are not theoretical. Water intrusion that spreads through a home, mold that invades living space, or structural damage that erodes property value is not just “property damage.” It is a direct intrusion into the sanctuary of a homeowner’s most important financial asset. A board that waits for a crisis to act is a board that has already failed the community it was elected to serve.
Most negligence disputes in HOA communities follow the same pattern: the association or a neighboring owner knew about a problem, had the power to fix it, and chose not to act within a reasonable time. Courts analyzing these cases focus on three simple questions: what did the responsible party know, when did they know it, and what did they do about it? A reported roof leak left unresolved while water spreads through a homeowner’s interior, a drainage system ignored until flooding occurs, or a balcony that repeatedly spills water into the unit below are not minor maintenance issues—they are failures of governance. When boards disregard known risks, they do more than invite repair costs. Their inaction can trigger liability for the full scope of harm caused by the delay, including consequential losses that grow precisely because the problem was allowed to worsen. Governing documents are a contract with the homeowners, not a shield for the board. When the board ignores that contract, the law allows homeowners to demand accountability.
Your Board of Directors has no inherent power. Its authority exists solely by the consent of the governed—the homeowners. That consent is expressed through fair, transparent elections. When that process is manipulated, it is not a technical defect—it is a violation of homeowner rights. A board seated through manipulation is a board without standing. When the ballot box is compromised, the board’s entire platform—every rule it enforces, every assessment it collects, every dollar it spends—is built on sand. In practical terms, that means your money, your property rights, and your peace of mind are being controlled by an illegitimate authority. Election fraud in an HOA is not a procedural issue—it is governance corruption and a breach of the fiduciary duty owed to the very homeowners the board is supposed to serve.
The reality is that the fox is often guarding the henhouse. Those with the most to gain from a rigged election—incumbent directors and their allies—are frequently the same individuals controlling voter rolls, ballots, and communication channels. This misconduct often appears in identifiable patterns: voter purging, where certain homeowners are quietly removed from eligibility lists; phantom voting, where unqualified individuals are inserted to influence the outcome; and information blackouts, where critical election details are selectively withheld to protect those in power. The law does not tolerate this kind of procedural theater. Courts look beyond surface compliance to determine whether the election met the standards of transparency, neutrality, and fairness that you are entitled to by right. You are not a spectator in your own community. If your election has been compromised, every subsequent board action is subject to challenge, and you have the legal right to demand accountability and take your community back.
A homeowner’s right to install solar energy on their own property is protected by law, and HOA governing documents cannot simply override that protection. While associations may impose reasonable restrictions on how a system is installed, they cannot use architectural control as a tool to block solar altogether. The law is clear: a board’s taste in rooflines, panel placement, or community aesthetics cannot defeat a homeowner’s right to generate energy from their own property. In many states, including those with Solar Rights Acts, a restriction becomes legally unreasonable if it significantly increases the cost of the system or materially decreases its efficiency—often measured by thresholds such as the common “10/10” or “20/20” rules. When boards impose conditions that function as an effective prohibition—such as requiring placement that eliminates energy production, imposing excessive review fees, or delaying approval through endless architectural demands—they are not regulating installation; they are undermining a statutory right.
Red Flags of Illegal Solar Rejection often include disparate treatment compared to other exterior modifications, mandatory “hidden” placement that destroys system efficiency, excessive consulting or review fees, and approval delays that appear designed to wear the homeowner down. These tactics frequently reflect discretionary gatekeeping rather than legitimate architectural review. When an HOA ignores the legal limits placed on solar regulation, the issue is no longer aesthetics—it becomes governance overreach and a potential breach of fiduciary duty to the community. Homeowners confronting these situations are often in a stronger legal position than they realize, because solar protection laws were designed precisely to prevent associations from using aesthetics as a weapon against property rights. When boards cross that line, homeowners have the right to hold them accountable and enforce the principle that objective legal standards—not subjective architectural preferences—govern the outcome.
How We Win
Our Proven Approach to Your HOA Dispute
A Bad HOATM won’t back down on its own. From your first call to final resolution, every case runs the same disciplined playbook — built to win.
A Bad HOATM won’t back down on its own. Here’s exactly how we take your case — and win it.
When you book a consultation with LS Carlson Law, you can expect a focused, strategic discussion about your dispute. Your attorney will review the key facts, look at any relevant documents you provide, and spend the bulk of the consultation digging into the details with you.
The goal is simple: to help you understand where you stand, what rights you may have, and what options are available. Depending on your situation, that may include negotiation, formal legal action, litigation, or practical self-help remedies that may apply.
By the end of the consultation, you should have a clearer understanding of your position, the strengths and challenges of your case, and the best path forward.
Once you retain LS Carlson Law, you are no longer facing the HOA alone. We send a formal Notice of Representation to your association, putting them on notice that you are represented by counsel and that communication should now go through our office.
This is often the first major shift in the dispute. Instead of trying to respond to confusing letters, board pressure, threats, delays, or stonewalling on your own, you now have a legal team between you and the association.
From that point forward, we take the wheel, develop the strategy, manage the communication, and begin moving your matter toward resolution.
Every HOA dispute is different, so the path to resolution depends on the facts, the governing documents, the association’s conduct, and the leverage available. In some cases, the right move is a strong legal demand. In others, it may be informal negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation.
Whatever the path, the objective remains the same: to bring your dispute to a swift, effective, and meaningful resolution.
LS Carlson Law advocates with purpose, pressure, and precision — working to protect your rights, restore your peace of mind, and help you move forward.

While searching for Attorneys to assist us, after several consultations, nothing was clicking.....we found out they also defend HOA's. NOT the case with LS Carlson. They only defend residents. Our case was different in regard that our HOA was not going after us for any violations, WE were questioning our HOA, our BOARD, their employees, as well as the Management Company. Our financials were not adding up. Reckless overspending, budgets not being adhered too, no accountability. Which lead to dues being increased. Our Attorney, Ahmet Brown along with Jeff Kominsky, Managing Partner, could not have been more supportive, professional, and just decent guys. With their constant guidance, some perseverance, we accomplished bringing in an entirely new Board, new employees as well as a new Management Company. This firm will give YOU, the power to fight back and take back your Village, take back your home. Never surrender your common sense. Where there is fire, there is smoke. One more note, Luke Carlson, who put together this wonderful firm has written a book entitled "Bad HOA." We guarantee you will find yourself saying over and over, "this is my HOA."

From the moment I spoke with Daniela Tolliver at LS Carlson Law, I immediately felt a sense of relief. I had been extremely stressed and overwhelmed dealing with my HOA situation, but Daniela was professional, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely compassionate throughout the conversation. She took the time to really listen, answered my questions clearly, and made me feel like my concerns actually mattered.
What stood out most was how confident and reassuring she was without making me feel dismissed or rushed. After speaking with her, I finally felt like I had someone in my corner who understood the situation and was willing to help. That peace of mind alone meant a lot to me. I highly recommend Daniela Tolliver and LS Carlson Law to anyone dealing with HOA or property-related issues.

LS Carlson Law combines knowledge of HOA/Condo law, with top notch customer service. My first phone encounter was with Andrew Thomas, who is one of the staff that handles initial inquiries. He was empathetic, knowledgeable, and listened to my concerns. He setup my appointment with Attorney Jeff Kominski, and made sure I was prepared.
Mr. Kominski was excellent. He is knowledgeable in condo law, and asked my wife and I a lot of questions regarding our concerns. Like Andrew, he was empathetic and listened to us. We are weighing our options regarding Mr. Kominski's legal suggestions, and if we decide to move forward, I will be glad to have him on our side.

I'm a new client to LS Carlson Law, so the first person I talked to was Willie Lark. I have to say he is very calm and educated, when I'm trying to explain why I need the Law offices help. He explains the procedure and time line in such a way that I feel confident that I'm making the right choice. He me all the paperwork in a timely manner and said if I had questions to contact him, and I had questions, and he answered them...Thank you Willie

Today I had a consultation with Jeff Kominsky to discuss an unpleasant encounter with a board member of my HOA.
I wanted to know what my legal options are in seeking punishment and removal of this man from our board.
Jeff is very knowledgeable concerning state statutes and gave me his impartial opinion on my being able to achieve my goals.
After listening to his feedback I reached a decision not to pursue any legal action.
Jeff was very helpful to me in making a rational conclusion.

I had an exceptional initial consultation experience with LS Carlson Law. The staff was extremely helpful and efficient with scheduling and creating an initial folder of information for my appointment with Jeff Kaminsky. We need to slightly rearrange our scheduled appointment but once again both staff and Mr Kaminsky were prompt and courteous.
Mr Kaminsky spent plenty of time listening to my overview of the complicated situation and I was very pleased with how quickly he was able to get up to speed and able to dig into the heart of the matter.
He provided me with what I believe to be a thorough analysis and plan to establish a relationship in order to pursue resolution of our situation.
He did not rush me at any point and I really felt like I had his undivided attention.
Kitty has been terrific and I look forward to working with her to get everything Mr Kaminsky needs uploaded into our files.

Today I called LS Carlson Law PC. This was the fourth law firm I called in two days. The other three were very short with me and although I explained my needs for an attorney sounded uninterested. I thought they could wait after my consultation with the attorney determined if my case was pointless.
Then I called Ls Carlson and spoke to Kitty Nix. From the very beginning she allowed to speak. She showed true concern. Allowed me to pick the attorney I wanted and was very flexible with scheduling. Having a compassionate front office is key to selling any services. I had a list of law firms I was going to call. I stopped with LS Carlson. I hope their attorneys appreciate the way Kitty Nix draws in new business for them.

I reached out to LS Carlson Law for help with a legal matter that turned out to be outside their area of practice. Even though they couldn't take my case, they went out of their way to point me in the right direction. They also reimbursed me for the consultation fee because they felt it wouldn't be fair to charge me for something they don't handle, which says a lot about their integrity and professionalism.

Well, I never thought I’d be writing multiple reviews, especially not after retiring, but here I am again and for good reason. As a retired attorney with 32 years of experience, I don’t hand out praise lightly. But LS Carlson Law hasn’t just earned my trust, they’ve earned my ongoing gratitude. When I found myself stuck in what felt like a legal mess caused by an overly aggressive HOA, I knew I needed more than just decent representation. I interviewed three other firms. None came close. LS Carlson stood out right away. From that first phone call, I could tell they were different. Sharp, honest, strategic, and down to earth. No gimmicks. No sales pitch. Just real legal help from folks who clearly know what they're doing. These people don’t just take on HOA cases, they live and breathe this work. Their founder literally wrote the book BAD HOA and that kind of credibility really matters when you’re dealing with board members who think they’re untouchable. Once I hired them, they got to work right away. Calls and emails were returned quickly, updates came without me having to ask, and I always felt like I knew where things stood. They were tough when they needed to be and thoughtful in how they approached things. It was clear they were seasoned pros. Now here’s what brought me back to write again. Just a couple days ago, I was notified that two of the worst board members had stepped down. Gone. And if that wasn’t enough, I received a written apology from the board for all the “turmoil” they caused me and my family. That kind of outcome is rare. It felt good y’all. Real good. S Carlson Law didn’t just get me through a bad situation. They helped turn the whole thing around.
What truly sets them apart, even beyond the results, is their ethics. In over three decades of practicing law, I’ve rarely come across a firm that’s this principled. Everyone I spoke with treated me with respect and honesty. They reminded me why I went into law in the first place. And I want to applaud LS Carlson Law for their work in the homeowner empowerment space. It really shines through in both their podcast and their book. Those resources kept me informed and gave me a sense of control when everything else felt upside down. Just a great example of a firm going the extra mile for the public. Thanks to LS Carlson, this old Southern lawyer can finally sit back, enjoy the California sunshine, and not worry about a thing. No more legal stress. No more bad actors. Just peace of mind. f you're dealing with an HOA problem, do yourself a favor and give these folks a call. They’re the real deal.

I had a mortgage loan dispute and had hired an attorney who completely dropped the ball on my case and it was just a few weeks away from being dismissed due to their negligence. It was very difficult to find a firm who handles this type of law. I came across LS Carlson, spoke with a partner Ryan who had experience with this type and law and assigned my case to some fantastic attorneys, Larissa , Tate and their team. They not only had to save my case, but they had to re-work and re-submit new complaints that actually held water. Within just a few months we agreed on a settlement after almost two years of going absolutely no where with the previous attorney. They saved our case, restored our faith and saved us so much time. I hope we never have to be in a legal dispute in the future, but if we do I would hire them in a heartbeat! Thank you Ryan, Larissa and Tate!

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 request." 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.

I had the pleasure of working with Tate Casey to help my aunt resolve a sensitive issue with the Laguna Woods HOA. From the start, Tate stood out for his expertise, professionalism, and genuine warmth. HOA disputes can be emotionally charged and difficult to navigate, but Tate brought a sense of clarity and calm that made the process far less stressful for my aunt. What impressed me most was how quickly Tate understood the unique cultural context of our situation. As Circassians, our community has a rich tradition of dance, music, and celebration. We’ve used the Laguna Woods clubhouses to hold dance practices and gatherings that are central to maintaining our identity and passing it down to younger generations. Tate not only grasped this immediately, but he also found the right tone and language to convey our story respectfully and persuasively during an HOA hearing. Tate has a presence that naturally draws attention. When he speaks, people listen. His calm confidence, paired with a warm but authoritative voice, makes him a powerful advocate. He approached the case with sensitivity and empathy, which meant a lot to my aunt and our family. He didn’t just see a legal issue, he saw people behind it and made sure that was reflected in every step he took on our behalf. Tate is really the whole package.

Luckily found LS Carlson’s Scott McDonald for help with my fight with our HOA Re. Moisture Intrusion battle. He came up with a map forward. He came up with a game plan that works for all the parties involved and won’t cost an arm and a leg to get done. Very knowledgeable, honest and solution oriented. Would give him 10 stars if I could. Much appreciated. Thank you:)

We would like to let everyone in South Florida that lives within an HOA that LSCarlson is an amazing law firm. From the very first call we made to the conclusion of our problem the firm and Daniela Tolliver were terrific. They listened advising, suggesting and supportive throughout. Her work together with Keith Braun was stellar and the conclusive result was what we had hoped for at a very fair rate. We would not hesitate to engage the firm again if in need of the very best legal representation.

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...

I was “attorney shopping” for a real estate issue and found LS Carlson Law. I sent a message via their website and received a follow up call the next day. I spoke with Andrew who exhibited sincere warmth, genuine concern, patience, professionalism and just an all around great verbal demeanor. :-))
I met with Attorney Scott McDonald and it was a pleasure to speak with him. To be honest, I had a Car Salesman idea of attorneys but was gratefully proven wrong. He took the time to completely explain and educate me via his experience, professionalism, patience, honesty and humor. There was no sales pitch, just facts…thank goodness. I’m certainly no “big fish” and don’t have money to burn but he didn’t make me feel like my issue was too small for the firm. I left feeling empowered and understood. Hats off to LS Carlson Law!

He was familiar with my case in the initial consultation having obviously reviewed the documents I sent prior to that interview. He listened attentively, asked questions to help clarify my position, and let me give additional input when required. He gave me helpful guidance and his legal prospective on my case so that I could decide the best course of action possible to attain my desired outcome.

If you are a member of a condominium or homeowners association and you have a significant concern, THIS IS the firm to consult. It is rare to find lawyers who represent unit owners rather than associations (their boards), and this firm represents unit/home owners exclusively.
Once I made contact and set up a consultation, I was encouraged to provide information before the meeting, and I did.
My consultation was with attorney Jeffrey Kominsky. He was great. He listened actively, answered my questions, explained the processes to challenge the Board, and he provided guidance on additional information to gather. Finally, he explained how to move forward with engaging the firm, and gave me a realistic range of the cost to initially challenge the board. He was NOT a pushy salesman. He was very helpful and realistic. I felt grateful for the information and advice.
Additionally, the support staff (shout out to Mollie) and the communications were excellent.
Being part of a sizable condominium association lacking professional property management and with a legally inept board can be aggravating. Many professionals I've spoken with say the best option is to change the board (generally not easy to do). Alternatives are to file complaints with the Division of Condominiums for things they will address (which are few), and hire an attorney to address matters (which can be expensive). Each person needs to weigh the costs and benefits, and practicalities. IF you want to consult an attorney - start with this firm.

If you’re having a difficult time or in a stressful situation with your H. O. A. STOP YOUR SEARCH FOR LEGAL REPRESENTATION. YOU’VE FOUND “THE LAW FIRM” to represent your case.
My wife and I have been dealing with a horrible situation with our HOA for 2 years now. Stressful is stating it lightly. I knew for sure we were being “selective targeted” by our HOA board to the point we know have to go to mediation to avoid being sued. We’ve complied with every request and provided over 70 pages of documentation. Still we are threaten.
After speaking with Jeffery L. Kominsky, Esq from LS Carlson Law today I’m more at ease than I have been the past 2 years. Jeff was not only very professional but exceptionally knowledgeable about Florida HOA laws and rights to homeowners.
My wife and I are law abiding citizens / residents and I’ve proudly served my country while enlisted in the U.S. Army. The HOA situation has frequently interrupted our day to day life with the letters and wrongful accusations.
Heather and I will sleep pleasantly tonight knowing that we will have Jeff and his team from LS Carlson navigating us through this ordeal.

His professional demeanor and dedication to my case not only provided me with security but truly went above and beyond my expectations. I had so many questions and Jeff walked me through the entire process and answered all my questions as well as Christine Lowe, attorney at LS Carlson. If anyone is looking for a good and aggressive HOA defence lawyers they are definitely the lawyers you should contact. Great communication. Got my settlement quick. Christine Lowe is skilled and experienced HOA defence attorney. Thank you Jeff Kominsky and Christine Lowe for their extra hard work to ensure my success, all your help and aggressive legal representation on my behalf with condominium board of directors. They keep me updated on my case. They have quick response time. But most important there were able to protect me from unlawful selective enforcement, discrimination and harassment from
condominium board! I highly recommend Jeff Kominsky and Christine Lowe as real estate and HOA defence lawyers!!!

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.

This firm is your definite GO TO firm if you have an HOA issue! My issue was complicated because it was a neighbor/board issue! I called LS Carlson Law and had an initial consult with Steven Shack in the Boca Raton office in Florida! He was extremely professional, very knowledgeable in HOA Law and provided me with information to try and address the issue on my own. I got my second violation letter, and retained this firm! After almost a year and a lot of money spent, my issue was resolved. Steven was always in contact, explaining my options and keeping me apprised of what was going on. I work in the legal field and know how stressful legal actions can be so I am very thankful to have hired a firm experienced in HOA Law that aggressively fights for the homeowners rights! Thank you Steven Shack and the whole team at LS Carlson Law for a great experience!

Our HOA imposed an unreasonable demand on us regarding a construction matter related to a home we recently bought in Florida. We were dismayed by our HOA's intransigent stance and sought legal advice regarding this issue. We arranged a zoom consultation with attorney Steven Shack of LS Carlson Law firm. His cogent and clear advice included acquainting us with our rights under Florida statutory law and suggested steps we should take to resolve our dispute. We followed his steps but received no response from our HOA. Because the HOA had given us a 30 day ultimatum to remove a structural addition we made to our home, we made the decision to enter into pre-litigation to settle our dispute. We worked with a team of lawyers: Jeff Kominsky and Christine Lowe, assisted by Lisa Taylor. This exceptional LS Carlson legal team outlined explicit and clear steps for seeking resolution of our case. We followed their advice closely and the end result was the HOA issue was quickly resolved to our satisfaction. We only sought a simple variance from vague HOA rules and that is how the dispute was settled. We couldn't have asked for a better outcome and credit these talented individuals for it. Without their calm assistance and creative suggestions, we would have faced a significant financial loss and incurred repair expenses due to our HOA's interpretation of murky and vague rules. We're extremely grateful for the LS Carlson team's assistance and professionalism and recommend them to any homeowner who experiences any HOA's unfair or unreasonable actions.

HOA's can hold a lot of power. They can make decisions which seem arbitrary or unreasonable and then use their retained lawyers to intimidate homeowners.
All is not lost! I called LS Carlson Law, PC in Boca Raton and definitely found the "equalizers"! Jeff Kominsky and Ahmet Brown are talented lawyers who have specialized in representing homeowners. I doubt this is the most lucrative side of the business and I must commend them for their dedication, concern and caring. Jeff and Ahmet are very sharp and excellent communicators. They were totally straightforward about the costs involved and the results I might expect.
Sure enough, the HOA reversed their decision after just a couple of weeks and I couldn't be happier with the result. Bravo!

I just got off the phone with Jeff Kaminsky and I realize that I am actually wearing a great big smile.
I have been battling my HOA for three years over my right to have a clear glass storm door. I have been bullied, discriminated against, threatened with fines and ultimately left feeling like corruption is real and I need a war plan. I committed to an hour appointment with Jeff to discuss a “strategy”. It was the best 300 dollars I have spent in a long time, better than a shopping spree for sure!
Jeff actively listened as I explained the harassment, inequities and hypocrisies I have had to contend with; interrupting me, with apology, only to cite statutes in my favor; by number, dispense legal advice or guide me toward legal options, and he did it with compassion. I found him to be realistic, informative and a teacher at heart. I hung up the phone feeling grounded and ready to make some educated decisions as to my next course of action.
By the end of the conversation, I felt heard, armed and ready to move forward with a lawyer that I can trust. Thank you Jeff! My storm door is always open to you;)
Sincerely,
Christine “DCD”

As a business owner, I have had associations with all types of law firms, both locally in the U.S. and internationally. I have connected with a solo practitioner, a small boutique-style firm, and prestigious firms with offices worldwide. Between my past education in the field of law and my experiences with these different firms, I have realized not every law firm operates the same. Firms, or individual practitioners, typically specialize in a particular area where they consistently record wins and favorable outcomes for their clients, and act on behalf of their best interests. As a result of my years in business and connection with various lawyers of different skill levels and strengths, I can quickly identify if a firm will be a match for a particular case during the interview and selection process. I demand an excellent work ethic in case management, legal briefs, and case analysis. It is rewarding to work with counsels who possess a similar mindset or ethos while facilitating the process of a case.
This leads me to the matter at hand: I needed to interview a law firm for a case related to an HOA matter. The HOA matter began 2 years prior to my contact with LS Carlson Law, so I knew there were many documents and issues to address in order to bring the firm up to speed. My in-take consultation meeting with this firm was handled with expertise and professionalism. Not long after the consult, I received an email from the lead counsel, Nicholas Tomic, who spearheaded the strategy for the case matter. The co-counsel, Richard Canada, also met with me to discuss key facts and my objective of the HOA case. The dozens of correspondences and lengthy documents had to be reviewed and analyzed before drafting a case analysis. The shared confidence, knowledge, and proven expertise of the applicable rules to my case, deeply impressed me.
When I had the opportunity to review the first draft composed by Tomic, I knew I was in capable hands! Halfway through the process with my case, a co-counsel Richard Canada took over as lead, as Tomic had to take personal leave. However, the transition worked seamlessly because Tomic had prepared the analysis before his absence. In addition to the smooth turnover, Canada provided me with updates regularly, unlike my experience with other firms both large and small. He not only provided me with the legal proficiency I needed and required, he brought my case to a favorable outcome and closure. This impeccable service is rare to almost non-existent in the industry, especially in comparison to the top largest firms where I felt lost and like a forgotten guppy in a pool of clients.
The brilliant counsels, Tomic and Canada, are indicators of how well the LS Carlson Law firm operates as a business. The firm exhibits powerful leadership in identifying talent among its employees, creating opportunities for them to shine, and recognizing their accomplishments. Luke Carlson and his team generously share free information related to HOA and other legal matters for the general public through their weekly podcasts. Therefore, even if you are unable to afford the legal fees to hire LS Carlson Law, you can gain valuable knowledge and insights into your situation through their free platform
In closing, homeowners in an HOA community often feel like they are at the mercy of a poorly run Board, or feel like their efforts will lead nowhere, so they do nothing in frustration! Now, you can do something! If you live in California or Florida and have an HOA matter, work with LS Carlson Law. You deserve someone who knows your rights, protects your interests, and gives more than adequate legal representation. The entire process is easier than you think!

My wife and I recently engaged with LS Carlson Law to help us with a dispute we had with our Home Owners Association. The attorneys we were assigned were Jeff Kominsky and Ahmet Brown. Jeff and Ahmet were a pleasure to work with. They walked us through our options and put together a compelling case. Once the HOA saw the details, they decided to negotiate instead of taking a hard line stance. In the end, the dispute worked out in our favor and we got what we wanted. Jeff and Ahmet kept us informed and updated throughout the entire process. If we should ever have a similar issue in the future, we will definitely contact them again.

Initially, we retained LS Carlson for an HOA matter. While the HOA matter was continuing its process we retained them for separate business dealings.
For the business matter, I asked them to review an employment agreement. After they reviewed the forms and provided feedback about the legalities that needed to be included we were presented with a professional and protective agreement.
Recently, we were able to finalize our HOA matter through mediation. Attorney Jeff Kominsky and Attorney Jon Hodges represented us in both the business and HOA matter. I cannot say enough great things about both of them. Throughout both processes they had our best interests in mind. True professionals, highly experienced and a genuine care for their clients are just a few words to describe them.

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!

Excellent firm. Excellent attorney - Jeff Kominsky. I have dealt with many attorneys and firms over the decades, both professionally and personally. This firm and Jeff have impressed me, something that is not that easy to do.
If you are a member of a condo or homeowners' association, this is a firm with a practice dedicated to your issues. They don't represent associations.
Call them. Good decisions require good information. Pay for a consultation; the price is reasonable. You may or may not get the answers you hoped for (IMO the system is pretty stacked against "the small people," particularly if you don't have deep pockets), but I trust you will gain some clarity of your options and their pluses and minuses. Then it is up to you to decide how you want to proceed.

We reached out to this company because we are having ongoing HOA issues. The issues range from mismanagement of special assessment loan funds, CC&R compliance, 2 water intrusions over the last 7 years. This has become such a distressing situation impacting our home, our cars, our storage and even our back patio which they are to maintain. The HOA has purposely chosen not to fix anything or to do as little as possible but still leave the overarching problem in place. My wife and I, have decided we can no longer go in this way and started reaching out to lawyers to understand the process, potentially pitfalls and some basic costs to see if it would be worth it to use our savings and invest our time to go this route. It appears that we would be looking at 1-2 years and possibly 15k to get to some sort of meaningful mediation and even then the HOA could drag out the process, not pay and even not fix our existing issues... this is a sad place to be as a homeowner in today's HOA world. It seems like it would be less costly for them to just fix stuff and create a true cooperative environment then treat owners like dirt by not fixing basic items or go on petty abuse of power plays that leave owners with no choice but to do a lawsuit. This also forces us to stay here until the suit is settled, we couldn't sell but we are thinking or renting it out so we wouldn't have to deal with this nightmare HOA.
Anyway, today I spoke with Mollie at this law firm. Her knowledge of the process, common issues with HOA's and how to get the information if she didn't know the answer was very impressive! Even more impressive was her honesty!! When other firms made up fake processes to drive up the price and justified it by saying the HOA is going to pay your fees when we win anyway.. Mollie not only was patient with all our question but even took a stand saying No, that's not the process!! We really appreciated this conversation it was so valuable.
Thank you Mollie for being and exemplary employees that represents herself and the company in a bright light.
Two thumbs up we HiGHLY recommend this firm!

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.

Great experience with the firm so far! While the initial consultation wasn’t productive, Carlson Law partner, Jeff Kominsky, made every effort to make it up to us, HOA owners. He initiated a full refund and provided a follow-up consultation at no cost donating 1.5 hr of his personal time. His explanations and advice were absolutely encouraging, thorough, and backed up with experience and knowledge. Jeff, I’m truly grateful! I’m looking forward to working on the ADR letter to our HOA board. I’ll be happy to update the readers on the outcome in the future.

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!

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 .

On 4/27/23, I consulted with Jeff Kominsky, Esquire from LS Carlson Law, PC. As a retired expert witness of 30 years dealing with attorneys 5 days a week, Mr. Jeff Kominsky ranks at the top of my list!! I must say that Mr. Kominsky displayed an extremely professional, kind and informative demeanor throughout our hour long consultation. He made sure that I had a thorough understanding of each point/Statute and he didn't move to the next point without asking me if I had any questions. Mr. Kominsky was not in a rush to get me off the Zoom conference, as a matter of fact, he spoke clearly, concisely and slow enough for me to take explicit notes of our conversation. He made me feel comfortable and confident to handle my "uncomfortable homeowner's situation". I would highly recommend Mr. Kominsky to handle your condo or homeowner association problems without hesitation. His knowledge of the Statutes and ability to explain them in an understandable way has given me the confidence I need to stand up to the bullies on our Board. I'm so glad I have Jeff Kominsky, Esquire from LS Carlson Law, PC on my side!!

At every turn they have exceeded expectations.
I had a scheduled hour long phone consultation with Jeff Kominsky over an HOA dispute; Jeff
reviewed the documentation I sent and had familiarized himself with my case in advance of that call; he was attentive, engaged and on point throughout the call and made me feel I was a person and not just a case number.
The call was informative and productive; Jeff referenced a few key points and suggested a strategy moving forward; based on our consultation and the documentation I furnished Jeff agreed to take my case.
Having to seek legal counsel is seldom pleasant.
I did not come to the decision lightly; I'm grateful Jeff is representing me and that my case is now in his knowledgeable and trusted hands.

We were having an issue with our HOA regarding a shed on our property and based on the reviews we saw on google we reached out to LS Carlson and a few other firms.
Our initial consultation with Jeff Kominsky (Partner) was nothing short of impressive. First and foremost Jeff actually took the time to listen to us and give us advice on our specific situation. Many other firms used the consultation meeting to brag to us how great they were but didn't really take the time to hear the details. Once we went over what was going on Jeff outlined in layman's terms what our potential legal solutions were, while also giving us a roadmap for how the legal process works and what to expect next. We walked away from the meeting feeling reassured and confident.
What really set LS Carlson apart was that Jeff didn't push us to sign immediately. Sometimes these meetings can feel like a high pressure sales pitch, this couldn't be further from the case here. Jeff didn't even discuss next steps, we had to bring it up.
Bottom Line: When you're paying for a consultation you expect to walk away with some guidance. The hour we had with Jeff was exactly that. I highly recommend LS Carlson!

It is very difficult to find lawyers who are willing to take on an individual homeowner against an HOA. When I found LS Carlson on the web and saw that they specialized in HOA disputes, even though they are long distance from my area of Florida, I thought I would take a chance and see how they could help. The very day I called the office, I was set up with a zoom appointment the very next week for an hour.
Attorney Kominsky explained thoroughly all my options and the probable outcomes and costs involving each one. He gave me step by step advice and said his firm is there for me if I have to go the distance and file a civil lawsuit.
I have been dealing with my situation for over a year and a half and this is the first time that I feel comfortable in what I have to do to move forward.
We parted the zoom call with, "I hope we never have to see each other again." I can't thank Attorney Kominsky enough!

Our condo community is in a tough situation due to our board and our conference call with Jeffrey Kominsky and Jonathan Hodges was fantastic. Jeff listened to our concerns and explained all legal options in a clear and concise way. It was clear that they are experts and care about providing quality service. We decided not to pursue our legal options but we learned about our rights as owners and have been able to implement positive change. Jeffrey and Jon have also been quick to respond to several follow-up questions. I highly recommend a consultation with LS Carlson Law.

I sought a legal opinion from LS Carlson Law and had the pleasure of speaking with Jeffrey Kominsky, Esq. I found Mr. Kominsky to be extremely competent and very through in both the understanding of the issue(s), explaining the law, and he was able to provide options and offer solutions. One I can do on my own and others how the firm can help me reach a favorable outcome. The consultation fee was money extremely well spent. Thank you!

I am a homeowner in central Florida whose house in part of an HOA. We are having significant issues with the HOA and we were seeking advice and counsel from a law firm with depth of experience in HOA matters. We were fortunate enough to connect with Jeff Kominsky who is a partner in the firm. As an attorney I can attest to the incredible advice and direction we received from Jeff. I can recommend Jeff without hesitation. He is a skilled lawyer and a great communicator. He knows the law and is able to communicate the ins and outs of HOA law. The firm, and Jeff, are also a great value. They deliver great results at very reasonable rates. Look no further for a great lawyer and a great HOA firm!

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 .

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.

Dealing with HOA's is never fun and when we had a recent issue the first place I thought to call was LS Carlson. Jackie was super responsive and set up a consultation with Paul same day and advised everything I needed to email over so Paul could be as prepared for the meeting as possible. In the long run, the property management company resolved the issue in the knick of time and I didn't need LS Carlson's full services. Regardless, Paul was gracious enough to still inform us that we thought was indeed correct and assured us the law was in our favor. It's nice to know a company will have your back and if we ever need their other services in the future they are available to help. Big thank you to both Jackie and Paul for their prompt same day responses!

We were being harassed by a neighbor who was on our BOD with unsubstantiated violations that were simply not true. His anger toward us started when we installed our permitted and ARC approved pool which he told us obstructed his view. We did everything we could to try to appease him but he was relentless. Jeff Kominsky was recommended by a friend and we gave him a call. Our Management Company kept escalating the violation until it reached our Fining Committee. Jeff and his associate Jon Hodges stepped in and thanks to their advise we were able to show the Fining Committee our side of the story in a profession manner and the Committee agreed we had not committed a violation and the matter was dropped. We are very grateful to them both.

I was already happy to hear that Mr. Tran read all the documents I sent. Arguably that alone could have taken up 1/2 the scheduled hour alone. That really helped streamline the meeting and he actually answered all of our questions and he actually offered the remaining time as a credit! HOA law is very specific and he ironed out the process and where we would have standing. Overall we were very satisfied with the meeting and we will retain this firm in the future if needed.

I 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.

We 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.

Jeff, 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!

My 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.

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.

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.

I 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!

As 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.

If 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.

When 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

I 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.

First 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.

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.

I 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!

After 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!

Pro 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.

I 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!!!!!

Mr. 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.

For 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!

Hands 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!!

Firstly, 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.

Kushner 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!!!

During 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.

Luke 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!

I 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.

The latest installment of our Bad HOA podcast series revisits a topic that surfaces in nearly every serious homeowner dispute: negligence. When a board ignores a broken stair or lets a common-area pipe fail, the problem stops being about bad manners and becomes a question of legal responsibility.
The latest installment of our Bad HOA podcast series revisits a question that trips up homeowners constantly: when your neighbor is the problem, is it really your HOA's problem too? The episode works through the line between a private squabble and a genuine association matter.
A newly published California Court of Appeal decision, Arroyo v. Pacific Ridge, settles two questions that decide who really controls an HOA election: what counts as association media, and who pays the attorney fees when a homeowner fights back.
There is a particular kind of frustration that comes with opening a letter from your homeowners association and finding a fine notice inside. The dollar amount may appear modest, but the real question is larger: Does the association actually have the legal authority to take your money?
The moment a special assessment arrives in your mailbox, the balance of power in your community can feel as though it has shifted. Understanding how Florida courts analyze these disputes — and what governance failures become central in litigation — is an essential first step.
The latest installment of our Bad HOA podcast series revisits one of the most consequential disputes a California homeowner can face: a board that fails to repair what it is responsible for. Roof leaks, drainage failures, and neglected pipes carry real legal weight.
For many Florida homeowners, few events are as financially disruptive as receiving notice that their homeowners association or condominium board has levied a substantial special assessment. The period before a lawsuit is filed is often when the most consequential work occurs.
There is a particular kind of condominium dispute that does not begin with a leaking roof or a delinquent assessment. It begins the moment a unit owner does something the board did not expect: asks to inspect the records, challenges an election result, or refuses to remain quiet at a board meeting.
You spent months planning it. You measured the dimensions, researched the materials, and carefully drafted the application to your association's architectural review committee. You believed you were following the rules. Then the letter arrived: denied.
It starts with a letter. Sometimes it arrives by certified mail. Other times it appears in your mailbox like a parking ticket. The notice informs you that the association has identified a violation, that a fine is being assessed, and that if you do not act, additional fines may follow.
