I can’t say enough good things about Scott McDonald. I was dealing with a frustrating, drawn-out dispute with my HOA and didn’t know where to turn. Scott was incredibly generous with his time, walking me through my options, helping me understand where I stood, and coaching me on how to handle each step myself with confidence. He was patient, clear, and never made me feel like my questions were too small. It’s rare to find an attorney who genuinely cares about helping people, not just billing hours. If you need someone knowledgeable, honest, and approachable, I highly recommend Scott.

Working with Jeff Kominsky has been a fantastic experience. What stood out immediately was his generosity with his time and his professionalism. He went out of his way to follow up with us and provide additional time and guidance before we even retained him, never rushing the process. Jeff is sharp, patient, and thoroughly knowledgeable. For anyone navigating condominium association or HOA matters in Florida, I would recommend his counsel without hesitation.

Mr. Alexander was very helpful and knowledgeable. I am still waiting to obtain retention of your offices for representation in my dispute with my neighbor. Please call me as soon as possible. Thank you.
— Irma Fontanez · California
Working with Jeff Kominsky has been an outstanding experience. His feedback was invaluable, and his dedication throughout our follow-up conversations exceeded all expectations. We recommend him without reservation.

Jeffrey Kominsky, Andrea, Lillie, and the rest of the awesome team at LS Carlson Law have helped me navigate some very difficult subjects. I will be returning to this law firm for any HOA or real estate issues that may occur in the future. Thank you!!

Our recent consultation with Jocelyn N. Chidsey, Esq., of LS Carlson Law was exceptional. We were very impressed that she had obviously reviewed all of the information we had sent prior to the consultation. Her professionalism, knowledge of the subject matter and recommendations were extremely helpful. She took the time to answer all our questions completely and we came away from the consultation with the feeling that all of our concerns had been addressed fully. I would highly recommend Jocely Chidsey and would plan on using her services in the future if the need arises.

Based on very positive Web reviews, I contracted with LS Carlson Law mid-2026 for legal representation in an Alternative Dispute Resolution mediation hearing related to breach-of-contract by my homeowner association. I obtained the services of attorneys Vasko Alexander and Richard Canada at LS Carlson Law. These gentleman provided exemplary legal representation for me. Based on my experience, I can state they are extremely knowledgeable of the relevant laws/statutes governing homeowner associations, were careful to understand my statements and supporting documents as to the facts of this matter, stayed in constant communication, provided to me an objective and thorough merits-of-your-case review early on, and prepared and presented an excellent brief to the mediator at time of our mediation hearing. I highly recommend LS Carlson Law and these attorneys, as well as their supporting staff of paralegals, as the "go to" law firm for representation, even just consultations, in any disputes one might have with homeowner associations.

Daniela Tolliver was professional and efficient! She listens and responds with excellent wisdom. Highly recommend!!

I reached out to LS Carlson Law for help with a dispute involving my HOA, and the experience was outstanding from the first call. The firm is professional, organized, and clearly knows this area of law inside and out. They focus on representing homeowners against HOAs, and that specialization shows in how quickly they understood my situation and laid out my options. I consulted with attorney Michele Hobby, and she was exceptional. She listened carefully, asked the right questions, and explained where I stood in plain language without any pressure or legal jargon. She was honest about the strengths and weaknesses of my position, which gave me real confidence in her advice. I left the conversation with a clear understanding of my rights and a practical path forward. Michele is an excellent ambassador for LS Carlson Law. Her knowledge, responsiveness, and genuine concern for homeowners reflect a firm that takes its clients seriously. If you are dealing with an HOA that is overstepping, I highly recommend giving them a call.
— Leonard Bay · Florida
Keith Lehman and Kevin Hirsh of LS Carlson Law represented me against an HOA complaint. Their deep knowledge in HOA practices very quickly put the HOA on defense and the matter was settled in a relatively short amount of time. I have had a few expierences in business litigation and firmly believe in hiring the best in the practice area. LS Carlson Law has carved out a very special expertise in representing Home Owners against HOA's.
— John Lamp · Florida
Jeff Kominsky was amazing. He was prepared for our zoom call and very patient answering my questions.
— Andy Schmiedel · Florida
We worked with Steven Shack for an ARC matter - special enforcement and our HOA was attempting to apply rules not according to our HOA guidelines. Mr. Shack ultimately helped us obtain our approval letter.
— Sydney Hampton · Florida
Jeff Kominsky with LS Carlson Law was absolutely fantastic in helping us with our legal situation. He came highly recommended by another attorney (who my wife and I know), and Jeff could not have been more helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. Five-star service all around. Highly, highly recommend.
— Robert Cullen · Florida
Excellent and Honest Advice! I recently consulted with this law firm regarding a difficult condominium/HOA matter, and I was extremely impressed by Michele Hobby. She was professional, objective, and very honest in her assessment of my situation. What I appreciated most was that she did not simply tell me what I wanted to hear or encourage me to pursue unnecessary legal action. Instead, she carefully explained my rights, helped me understand the situation from a practical perspective, and recommended what she believed was the best course of action for me at this time. Her advice gave me clarity and, most importantly, helped me avoid potentially unnecessary legal expenses. She also offered to continue assisting me if the situation develops or if I needed further legal help in the near future. Trust me I will!! I truly appreciated her professionalism, honesty, and willingness to put my best interests first. I highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for knowledgeable, objective, and trustworthy legal advice. And last, thank you to all the persons I talked on the phone before my interview, all of them were professional and very attentive for what I am extremely grateful!!
— Adelaida Torres · Florida
Nothing about a lawsuit is good, but the staff here - including, and especially, Kitty Nix! - really made this intake process a lot more pleasant. Being smart and kind is wonderful in any industry, but when you're dealing with the complexity of legal problems and the personal difficulties that come with it, it's a gift to have good people on your side. Thank you to the whole office! Every person has been wonderful - you all are genuinely the best.
— florida monarch · Florida
I was lucky enough to do an intake evaluation with Jeff Kominsky. My case has acquired a ton of complexity, and Jeff was able to hang in there with all of the ridiculous legal details. My situation ended up not being the right fit for his firm, but he treated me with kindness and respect and still gave me a lot of practical guidance on how to think through my options. Definitely an hour well spent!
— florida monarch · Florida
We had a great consultation. Daniela was very clear and concise with the information she provided, which helped me very much in making my decision.
— Michael LaBastille · Florida
I had a consultation with Attorney Daniela Tolliver, from the very start she was incredibly professional yet completely relatable, which instantly put me at ease. She took the time to truly listen to my situation and provided clear informative guidance. The entire session was efficient and highly useful, giving me solid understanding of my next steps. I am deeply grateful for her kindness and expertise. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate Attorney. Jane K.
— Jane Kenneally · Florida
What an incredible firm and amazing team! As I've engaged with Chris, Willie and others, they've shown extraordinary care and integrity in their dealings with me. Beyond my own engagement, the resources the firm and team proactively provide illustrate a clear mission-driven approach. They can be useful to HOA members and property managers, as well as board members aiming to do right by their neighbors. My hope is policy makers, insurance companies, and lenders will also take note. LS Carlson's work illustrates a need for HOA oversight mechanisms, as well as grant funding and incentives on par with those provided to renters, single-family and multifamily building owners. The potential ROI for leaning in to solve the problems illustrated by their work include improved housing stability, housing stock conditions, and affordability. Really grateful LS Carlson Law.
— Danielle Killian · California
I can not say enough how grateful I am for Michelle Hobby.. She took my very stressful situation and provided me with the empathy, sympathy and extreme knowledge of the FL HOA laws as she worked my case.. I highly recommend her as she's very professional and hard working. She was great!
— Colleen Wilkinson · Florida
I first contacted Jeff Kominsky and he directed me to Ben Harding here in Florida. They did a GREAT job of defending me against an unlawful HOA. I was given an apology and compensation because of their actions and their knowledge of HOA or in my case COA Law. I cannot thank them enough!
— Paula Hoffman · Florida
Daniela was EXCELLENT!!!!!! Listening to my long winded rant of my situation ----- She needs an award for patience! Also she was very informative and explained everything really well. A really good first consultation.

Attorney Vasko Alexander was extremely helpful in preparing us for our small claims court against our HOA. His expert advice and role playing with me as to how to answer the judges questions made such a difference. We won our case and it is thanks to Vasko Alexander.
— Anne Gilbertson Kraemer · California
Jeff Kominsky was extremely professional, compassionate, and highly knowledgeable. He understood my case very efficiently and clearly, and I felt very reassured after his explanations. Thanks to his guidance, I now have a much clearer understanding of my case.
— Rosangel Acosta · Florida
I am so glad I had the consultation with Scott McDonald at LS Carlson. I had a consultation with another firm that went no where. I had recieved no advice or thoughtful plan. Though the attorney was nice, he had not done any preparation even though I included documents and a timeline. Scott was the opposite. He showed up prepared, had a great grasp for the situation and cared about what was in my best financial / emotional interest (I think we can all agree that a dispute with your HOA will take a lot out of you). I would recommend Scott McDonald in a heartbeat and consider hiring him when the timing is right. I really did not want to do a second consultation. But I am thankful that my instinct told me to it with LS Carlson
— Seth · California
Excellent professional service. We had a neighbor/ HOA dispute, which was interfering in our rights as home owners. Both attorneys Michele Hobby and David Lehr, expertly navigated us through the process, were empathetic to our situation, and expertly addressed the matter. With their representation the matter was successfully handled, and our rights restored, much to our satisfaction. Highly recommended.
— Mel · Florida
Ms. Tolliver was very professional and was able to address most (95%) of all the questions, due to time constrain. With her guidance we are moving forward with our situation.
— Jose Munoz · Florida
LS Carlson Law was incredibly responsive, contacting me soon after I reached out for representation. Their intake and scheduling staff were top-notch and made the process seamless. My consultation with Vasko regarding my HOA issues was fantastic. He was level-headed, educational, and a strong advocate for me, while remaining entirely realistic about the most likely outcomes and expected costs. Dealing with HOA issues is stressful, but Vasko's honest, grounded approach gave me complete clarity. Highly recommend!

If you're looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, relentless, and genuinely cares about his clients, I cannot recommend Steven Shack and his team highly enough. Steven is representing me in a dispute against my HOA, and from day one he has demonstrated exceptional professionalism, legal expertise, and unwavering dedication. He leaves no stone unturned, is incredibly thorough, and fights tirelessly to protect his clients' interests. Throughout the process, he has been responsive, honest, strategic, and has taken the time to ensure I understand every step. What truly sets Steven apart is that he genuinely cares about the people he represents. You are never treated like just another case. His entire team is professional, courteous, and committed to delivering outstanding service and results. Having an attorney you can trust during a challenging legal matter is invaluable, and I have complete confidence in Steven Shack and his team. If you need a lawyer who combines exceptional legal talent with integrity, compassion, and determination, I wholeheartedly recommend them. Five stars isn't enough.

We had a wonderful experience speaking with your attorney, Scott McDonald. He eased our mind without going to any particular outcome. We feel assured that we’re in the right hands and appreciate your professionalism, courtesy and kindness.
— Leon Brown · California
I had a very positive experience working with LS Carlson Law. The team was professional, responsive, and took the time to explain my legal options clearly throughout the process. They advocated for my interests and provided thoughtful guidance regarding my HOA dispute and California Civil Rights Department complaint. I especially appreciated their communication, knowledge, and dedication to helping me understand my rights. I would recommend LS Carlson Law to anyone seeking experienced legal representation in HOA and homeowner-related matters. Thank you to the entire team for your assistance and professionalism.
— Virginia Romano · California
This afternoon I had the pleasure of consulting with Daniela Tolliver, Esq. of the LS Carlson Law firm. Ms. Tolliver is extremely well versed in HOA law and the various options that could be available. I am quite certain that my wife and I will retain The LS Carlson Law firm as long as Ms. Tolliver is on our team!
— Richmond Kelly · Florida
After being bullied by my HOA I had had enough and am grateful for the help of LS Carlson lead by Jeff Kominsky and Christine Lowe. They understood the law, and leveraged every option I had. It's amazing at how fast the tune changed from my HOA when they realized I had this level of quality representation. My only regret is I didn't seek their help sooner.
— Paul Martinelli · Florida
Michelle Hobby was great answered all my questions that I asked. Thank you!

My initial intervue with Kevin was extremely informative and educational. I feel much better having chosen this law firm. His knowledge of this part of the law was spot on and I look forward to working with LS Carlson Law.
— Hubert Dumas
Joselyn Chidsey was very ethical and helpful. I thought she was very well prepared for the consultation and she gave me helpful strategies to solve my HOA dispute in a short amount of time. I also appreciate very much the free homeowner empowerment kit that this firm provides on Reddit. This kit helped me to prepare for this meeting and get a good understanding from it. I also appreciate all the information in the Bad HOA podcast and YouTube videos that this firm provides. I highly recommend a consultation with them.
— Cristina Gonzalez
I spoke with Mr. Jeff regarding a condominium matter. It was immediately clear that he has extensive knowledge of condominium law and significant experience in this area. As a homeowner navigating the current crazy condo world, I appreciated his willingness to listen, provide straightforward guidance, and help me understand my options. It reassuring to speak with someone who clearly understands the clients needs. I look forward to continuing to work with Jeff as this matter moves forward.
— David Katz · Florida
Very strong skills and very easy to work with
— Ellen F · California
I had a consultation with Tate Casey. I consulted him for legal advice about my HOA board breaching our governing documents and other things. He gave me clear directions on what I should do next and explained that I should only take legal action if it's my only choice. He was eager to help me in my situation. I would choose to work with him if my issue doesn't resolve on its own.
— Angela Chung · California
Daniela was well informed and prepared for our call. I look forward to working with the LS Carlson Team.
— Zach Ingram · Florida
My meeting with Chris Q was very nice. He was patient with me. Chris went over my options. I felt that he will be able to help me with my HOA and get the necessary repairs to my condo.
— Jane · California
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.

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."
