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. Bryan

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. It's rare to see this kind of honesty and care from a law firm. I really appreciate how transparent and respectful they were throughout the process. I'd definitely recommend them for anyone needing help in the services they provide.

We zoomed with Steven Shack and all his HOA experience helped us to stay together when a biased background check almost had my partner unable to stay with me in my own home. Steven helped us with terms and statutes to include in certified letters. Just what we needed and we are eternally grateful. Worth every penny.

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

I had a one-hour consultation with Mr. McDonald, and he explained everything so clearly that I left with a full understanding of my position, what I could handle on my own and what would require legal representation. Even if you can’t afford to hire them for full representation, I highly recommend scheduling at least a consultation. They are extremely knowledgeable and genuinely take the time to guide you. As an educator for many years, I’ve worked with many great professionals, but Mr. McDonald stood out with the way he broke everything down and explained it so thoroughly. He’s just awesome. I highly recommend this firm!

I spoke to Steven Shack at LS Carlson Law this afternoon. Mr Shack was very cordial and knowledgeable and professional. He explained the steps that would be taken to resolve the issues at hand. I had questions for him and he addressed all of them concisely. I feel very confident having Steven in my corner moving forward and would recommend Steven and LS Carlson Law to anyone having condo association issues.

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 was having issues with my HOA. The "owners only" policy caught my attention. I spoke to Jeffrey and his team. They made me feel like I was the only client on the planet. This is an impressive group and I am a life long client. Thank you all!! - Rich A

Outstanding!

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!

As a retired attorney with 32 years of experience, I don’t often write reviews ha! let alone multiple ones, but LS Carlson Law more than earned this. When I found myself in what felt like a legal nightmare with an absurdly aggressive HOA, I knew I needed more than just competent representation, I needed a firm with integrity, deep expertise, and the will to fight. After interviewing three other firms, LS Carlson stood out immediately. From the first call, I knew I had found something rare: a team that was sharp, honest, strategic, and refreshingly authentic. No gimmicks. No inflated promises. Just real legal horsepower. Once retained, they didn't miss a beat. Their responsiveness was unmatched, emails and calls returned promptly, updates given without being prompted, and every interaction made me feel informed and empowered. They were aggressive when it mattered and wise in their approach. It was clear they weren’t just dabbling in HOA law but they live and breathe it. Their founder literally wrote the book BAD HOA, and that credibility mattered. The opposing side knew they were up against seasoned professionals. What truly sets LS Carlson apart, though, is their ethics. In over three decades of legal practice, I can say with certainty: this is one of the most ethical and principled organizations I’ve ever dealt with. They reminded me why I went into law in the first place. Their podcast was an unexpected lifeline during the process because it is transparent, informative, and empowering. Thanks to LS Carlson, this Southern transplant can finally relax and enjoy life in California. If you're in an HOA battle, stop searching. You’ve found the real deal. OK final review : )

Dear LS Carlson Law Firm, I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional service I received during my recent consultation. From the initial contact to the conclusion of my meeting, I was consistently impressed by the professionalism and efficiency of your entire team. I would especially like to commend Attorney Jeff Kominsky for his extraordinary expertise and dedication. His thorough review of my case was not only insightful but also provided me with a clear understanding of my options moving forward. His patience in answering all my questions, and explaining complex legal concepts in a readily understandable manner, was particularly valuable. He created a comfortable and supportive environment which allowed me to feel confident in his abilities and the firm's commitment to client success. I wholeheartedly recommend your services to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, compassionate, and highly effective legal team. Thank you again for your exceptional work. Sincerely, kb

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.
— Jeffrey C. · California
Sent an inquiry about sue'ing my HOA. The intake coordinator was extremely helpful and courteous. Will be following up with them later.

We had a one hour consultation with Jeff Kominsky regarding our HOA. Mr Kominsky was very knowledgeable about Florida statutes, rules governing HOA’s, and advice on how to proceed with our case. We look forward to working with him and his firm. We highly recommend this law firm. They are straightforward and polite as well.
— Virginia Carter · Florida
Our one hour consultation with Jeff Kamensky, Esq. was worth its weight in gold! He provided us with the information we need to move forward with a lawsuit against our homeowners association if needed. Don’t let your homeowners association and/or management company push you around, know your rights! Jeff knows Florida law!
— Margo Donaghue · Florida
I had a consultation with Jeff Kominsky and couldn’t be happier. He listened to my concerns and discussed various plans to proceed. Everything was explained in easy to understand terms. He was professional yet friendly, and easy to talk to. There was no pressure or “hard sell” to proceed. So far I’m very impressed!
— danette rowsell · Florida
The team at LS Carlson is amazing. We used them for an HOA matter and they provided us with all the options, best representation and helped us retain our rights.

I would like to thank the lawyers, Jeff Kominsky and Jocelyn Chidsey of LS Carlson Law for resolving my homeowner(condo) case against a large residential condominium HOA. I tried repeatedly to communicate my concerns and it was nothing but stonewalling. I reached out to this firm and they initiated proceedings with diligence and concern for my situation. It took some time and work but they remained steadfast --finally getting acknowledgment and rectification. I would definitely call them again--great firm to work with!!! Vickie Whitaker

After searching for some time for an attorney to represent us in a solar dispute, we came across this firm. We are so very glad we did! They represented our interests very well and were particularly knowledgeable about solar contracts, PPAs and about the solar industry in general. We strongly recommend LS Carlson Law!
— Rani K. Falconer · California
Jeff was prompt, and knowledgeable during consult. He had reviewed all documents sent prior to appointment and answered all of my questions.
— Gail C · Florida
I had a consultation with Tate Casey regarding a dispute with my HOA, and I was thoroughly impressed. He was knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely attentive to my concerns. What stood out the most was that he focused on answering my questions clearly and thoroughly—without trying to push or sell his services. I left the consultation feeling more informed and confident about my next steps. Highly recommend if you’re looking for honest, straightforward legal guidance.

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.

Steven Shack did an excellent job explaining all my options on pursuing action against my Condominium association.

I had a one hour phone call today with Steven Shack from LS Carlson Law PC. I couldn’t believe the amount of professional advice I received in that one hour. I am definitely retaining Steven to represent me. Super knowledgeable about the subject. My initial call was on Friday and had my initial call on Monday. I’m still waiting, three weeks now, for a phone call from the other firm a friend told me about. No need to call now. If you have a POA or HOA member issue, LS Carlson Law PC and specifically Steven Shack is who want. Ed Talley

Staff when you walk in are very receptive. The lawyer had everything ready to go just needed to ask me the questions for more information. I would recommend this company.
— Jonathan Henry · California
My spouse and I engaged LS Carlson Law, PC, to address the issue of three large alligators inhabiting the small retention pond behind our property for five months, a situation the HOA refused to rectify. Jeff Kominsky promptly contacted us to arrange a virtual meeting to discuss the case logistics. He provided a detailed explanation of our options, empowering us to determine the preferred course of action. Following our decision, Jeff assigned Christine Lowe to collaborate with the management company on behalf of our HOA to address our concerns. We were extremely satisfied with the experience. Both Jeff and Christine exhibited exceptional professionalism and communication. Ultimately, we now have a designated point of contact through the management company should we require further nuisance alligator removal services. We highly recommend LS Carlson Law, PC and would gladly utilize their services again for any future HOA-related matters.
— Cristal Davis · Florida
Jeff was very informed and helpful. I appreciate that they represent home owners only in HOA disputes.

Jeff Kominski is honest, he listened, he has given me hope. I would recommend him for all of your needs. He took so much time to really understand the situation.
— Lisa Wapen (Lisa) · Florida
LS Carlson was recommended to me by another homeowner who had an issue with their HOA. I had an initial consultation with Scott, who was very thorough and explained what my options were, how he planned to handle the matter, and why he recommended any particular option over another. Justin handled it from there. Throughout the process, Justin kept me informed real-time with updates on the matter and always asked for my input before deciding on a course of action - no assumptions or hasty decisions were made. I'm more than happy with where I am at now with my HOA as a result of Justin/LS Carlson's work regarding the matter, and would not hesitate to engage them for any future issues should they arise.
— Jonathan Ko · California
Thank you Steven Shack for clarifying the many legal facets of laws pertaining to the role and limitations of an HOA in Florida! I felt helpless and unsure what my rights were. Steven identified my choices for a game plan, and explained how to proceed. I could not have sorted this out without him!

Your team's process is excellent, the gathering of data, the accurate and transparent presentation of how the process will go was very appreciated, and unexpected! I have already referred other owners, this will be who I recommend to anyone that ask.
