We had multiple issues with our COA. We were unable to reason with or get any type of cooperation from our COA or onsite property manager. We contacted LS Carlson Law and with the help of Ahmet Brown and Jeff Kominsky we were able to get the issues resolved. It took over a year as the COA and their law firm fought us every step of the way. But the law and Ahmet & Jeff were on our side. We could not have gotten these issues resolved without them!!! WE can't thank them enough. It is unfortunate that one has to go through this kind of senseless action on the part of a COA. But it has been an education in why some COA's have gotten a bad name. Respectfully Denis & Karen W

Dealing with my HOA had become stressful enough that I finally decided to talk to a lawyer, and I'm glad I called LS Carlson Law. This is a firm that represents homeowners against HOAs, and you can tell right away that this is what they do every day. The intake process was smooth, everyone I dealt with was courteous and prompt, and I never felt like just another file. My consultation was with Michele Hobby, and she was fantastic. She had clearly reviewed my situation before we spoke, she asked sharp questions, and she walked me through my options in plain English. What I appreciated most was her candor. She told me what was realistic and what wasn't, with no sales pitch and no pressure. The consultation was well worth it, and she was clear and upfront about what each option would cost, so I could weigh my choices without worrying about surprises later. I came away understanding my rights far better than I did going in, along with a clear sense of what to do next. Michele represents LS Carlson Law extremely well. If she is any indication of the caliber of people at this firm, homeowners are in very good hands. Highly recommended for anyone whose HOA is overstepping.

Intake representative and client service specialist at LS Carlson Law - Mr. Willie Lark was our first person of contact with LS Carlson Law. Willie took the time to read our "detailed" statement that we submitted online via the website page /"tell us about your matter -contact us". His interpersonal and customer-service skills were a 5 star rating - He listened to our concern/s and he explained "what happens next". Therefore our early expectations of "the process" of what we must do and what happens next, had us better prepared for our upcoming consultation - scheduled on the same week!

I had a consultation with Jeff Kominsky. He was very knowledgeable and compassionate. I just signed my retainer with them and am hoping my situation with my HOA gets resolved. I'll post an update. So far so good!

Despite not being the right fit, Kitty made sure I still felt like part of the family. A true professional and genuinely kind and compassionate throughout an unexpectedly enjoyable conversation. If speaking with Kitty is the worst case scenario when calling this firm, I'd be looking forward to the worst each day

I talked to Kitty w/ questions about a case. Very helpful, very professional. She really took the time to listen to the details and ask all the right questions.

I highly recommend this firm. I had been dealing with an HOA issue for over a year, and once we hired LS Carlson Law Firm, the process became smooth and stress-free. My attorneys, Keith Lehman and Daniela Tolliver, were professional, warm, and truly dedicated to achieving a quick, peaceful, and fair settlement. Keith, Daniela, Emely, and Patti--thank you all so much for everything!
— Carol C. · Florida
I'm truly in awe of the integrity, expertise, and dedication that attorneys Jeff Kominsky and Ahmet Brown demonstrated throughout my case. I couldn't have asked for better representation. Working with them was a rare privilege, and I had the chance to witness true excellence firsthand. It's been an inspiring and deeply appreciated experience.
— Aa S. · Florida
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.
— Gerardo M. · California
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.
— afrouz n. · California
This is a fantastic law firm with truly outstanding attorneys. 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!
— Maryam S. · California
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
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. Highly recommend Keith and Kevin from the team as well as everyone else at LS Carlson. Don't hesitate to reach out to them to make sure you protect your rights as a homeowner.
— Johan P. · Florida
I just called and spoke with Kitty, she is super fantastic!! Love these guys and all the useful information they provide on YouTube!! Highly Recommend
— Zach Y. · California
We had a consultation today with Jeff Kominsky. He took his time to ensure we understood what we needed to do to deal with our association. If you're having problems or questions about your association, I would give him a call. This was time well spent.
— Ken G. · Florida
I found this law firm to be a great one. Attorney Lopez, and Attorney Barnes, and the team took the time to understand my issues and provided options for me to consider. As Attorney Lopez worked on my case, he reached out to me as needed and addressed any questions I had. He also was very mindful of my limited resources and demonstrated great integrity and care in guiding me towards choices that were not all about securing more money for the firm. Hiring an attorney is expensive, and they did the best they could with the resources I had. I wish I could have continued with them.
— LO · California
I fully endorse this law firm. My experience has been nothing but stellar. Mr. Ryan Davies was truly helpful in the legal consult last year, and Ms. Larissa Branes was equally as helpful in my January 2025 consult with her. They truly care about protecting and advocating for their clients! 10/10 stars! This review although brief illustrates my gratitude to this Law Firm for all the information I needed to best approach the ongoing private nuisance issues I have been having with my upstairs neighbor for the past 4 years! Please read my Google review as it delinates more in detail the exceptional service I received from LS Carlson Law!
— Hyun Joo K. · California
Working with LS Carlson Law was a seamless and reassuring experience. Their team demonstrated exceptional expertise, professionalism, and attention to detail. They kept me informed throughout the entire process and were always available to answer my questions. Their strategic approach and dedication delivered the best possible outcome for my case. I highly recommend LS Carlson Law for anyone seeking reliable and knowledgeable legal representation!
— Lavanda A. · Florida
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...
— Stephen G. · Florida
I had a unique situation where I needed to remain well informed as to my rights as a homeowner, while sending a clear message to the HOA. LS Carlson Law, PC was comprehensive in the services they provided me to inform me about the entire context, as well as the solutions available. In the end, I was very happy with the results, and how cost-effective they turned out to be. Thank you, LS Carlson Law!
— Raja R. · California
I recently had an experience with LS Carlson law that left a lasting impression. From the moment I reached out, their customer service team was exceptional. Molly responded promptly to my inquiries and she was genuinely helpful in addressing my concerns. Molly was not only knowledgeable but also empathetic, taking the time to understand my situation. They guided me through the process step-by-step and ensured that I felt supported throughout. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the level of customer service I received from Molly and the LS Carlson firm, I highly recommend them for anyone seeking a company that truly values its customer.
— emily b. · California
LS Carlson Law is the place to go for any HOA disputes. Everyone at the firm was professional and efficient. Justin Walley was great to work with. He was very diligent, kept us informed and was conscientious with billing-which was very much appreciated. I highly recommend this firm!
— Vicki S. · California
I can't say enough good things about this firm. I worked with Luke Carlson and Stephanie Reyes. The legal matter I was dealing with was truly awful and heartbreaking. With the sound consul and support from the Carlson team we not only "got through" but ended up with a better result than I'd dared hope for. But maybe more importantly, I felt taken care of during a period of my life that was incredibly difficult.
— Stephanie D. · California
I am incredibly grateful to LS Carlson and especially to Kevin Hirsh for their exceptional service. From the very beginning, Kevin was quick to respond and made me feel supported throughout the entire process. His depth of knowledge and thorough approach ensured that my case was handled with the utmost care and precision. Thanks to his diligent efforts, my case was resolved efficiently and successfully. I highly recommend LS Carlson for anyone in need of top-notch legal representation. Thank you, Kevin, for your outstanding work!
— Grace S. · Florida
Excellent service! We felt a tremendous relief off our shoulders the moment we had our consult. The service provided very professional and informative. It is without hesitation we highly recommend this law office!
— Judy L. · South Naples, Naples, FL
The service we received from Jeff Kominsky was more than expected. jeff was honest and forthcoming and explained well where we stood. Due to time constraints, he advised it was not wise to follow with his service and provided the references for me to at least see what I could accomplish, rather than incur additional costs and not be able to proceed. If my efforts materialize I will certainty call upon him for further assistance. I recommend him and his firm highly very happy.
— Fred M. · San Francisco, CA
Luke Carlson and entire staff are the kindest professional company I have ever worked with. Thanks for your help.
— Charles M. · Stockton, CA
Kirk Pearson and Shelby Daws represented me in a convoluted legal matter that took nearly two years to resolve. The quality and efficiency of their professional services surpassed all expectations . In fact, this dynamic duo was so effective that the opposing party changed their legal representation twice and still were no match for the LS Carlson Law team. I was delighted with the final outcome of my legal matter and will definitely engage their services in the future should the need arise. G.

Jeff Kominsky' legal expertise and determination were pivotal in the case's favorable outcome. Jeff is a really great, experienced, knowledgeable and aggressive Real Estate and HOA Defence lawyer who helped me to negotiate dispute with condominium association quick for the best terms. 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!!!
— Gabby Sarah Z. · Brooklyn, NY
Carlson Law is fantastic. I was scheduled for an introductory session with Kirk. Explained my case. He was very knowledgeable and fair. Gave me a lot of practical advice in how to approach a trial or settlement. An all around gentleman and great law firm. Thank you!!!
— John L. · Rancho Palos Verdes, CA
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!
— Diane B. · Stuart, FL
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.
— Hafed N. · San Diego, CA
I contacted LS Carlson Law to handle a complicated probate case I was involved in. They immediately knew what to do, and how to proceed. I was very confident in their representation. They are excellent lawyers and great people. They closed out my case successfully and legally. I highly recommend them and would use them again if needed.
— Lynn F. · Tucson, AZ
Mr Luke Carlson is the best! Very knowledgeable. He has given me the best advice on how to deal with my HOA disputes. I would definitely recommend contacting this law firm if you're having an HOA dispute. I appreciate all of your help Mr. Carlson. D. Malinofsky
— David M. · Fountain Valley, CA
I've been struggling for close to two years, thanks tomy HOA harassing and discriminating against me and two other veterans, violating my rights and manipulating the system to further their frivolous agenda. After sifting through countless HOA attorneys, my consultation with Jeff Kominsky, has given me confidence and peace for the first time in two years. He broke down the law and equipped me for the worst so that I could arm myself even if I didn't hire them. This office is professional and made me feel like a valued human being, (which seems rare whenever I have to find an attorney for anything). I am in good hands, grateful to have found this firm, and cannot wait to update with the good news of my finalized case.
— Ki L. · Altamonte Springs, FL
I highly recommend LS Carson Law. Professional, responsive, honest, and very knowledgeable. I had an issue with my HOA and hired LS Carson Law. My wife and I first spoke with Mr. Phong Tran. He explained the process very well, shared the relevance of our case within the Davis-Stirling act and all our options. We were then represented by Ms. Jessica Grau, she provided a detailed plan which gave us the opportunity to decide how to move forward. She followed through and it worked out in our favor. I'm very grateful. If I encounter future issues, I will reach out to LS Carson Law again. Everyone that we communicated with at the firm was excellent. Thank you for your hard work!
— David C. · Fremont, CA
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. I would recommend this firm, specifically Jeff Kominsky and/or Jon Hodges, for a business or HOA matter. You will not be disappointed! You will definitely find value in the money that you spend.
— Dhalyn F. · Orlando, FL
I spent the $300 for the consult and boy was that worth every penny! In my case, it saved me an expensive and lengthy legal battle, that wasn't slanted in my favor. I really appreciate Jeff's candid, extremely knowledgeable and forthright way. Wasn't what I wanted to hear but, morally being right and legally being right are often a contentious union. 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! If one hires Jeff, you will have competent, ethical and trustworthy legal representation. I'm just going to hit the Golden buzzer! ***** 5 Stars
— Rachael P. · Forest Park, IL
I consulted with Jeffrey Kominsky of LS Carlson Law, PC. He could not have been more professional, accommodating and helpful with his wise legal counsel. I highly recommend Mr. Kominsky for your legal needs in the state of Florida. He was also prompt, cordial and offered reasonable legal fees. -Mike McGowan
— Mike M. · Boca Raton, FL
I spoke briefly with Steven Shack. He was professional, friendly, easy to communicate with. I'm shopping for representation and felt I might not be able to afford such a large law firm. I wish I had the ability to hire anyone I please but I live on a fixed income which limits my ability to spend large amounts of money. It's not easy being me.
— Bill H. · Wellington, FL
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!
— Zach Y. · Seal Beach, CA
Luke Carlson of LS Carlson Law and his team of exceptional real estate and business attorneys are the leaders in the legal community. Ethical, responsive, caring, and strategic. AMAZING!Congratulations on 16 years of excellence!
— Gentry K. · Anaheim, CA
My experience with LS Carlson Law, PC was excellent. I didn't encounter one person who wasn't friendly, helpful and responsive to questions, challenges I was having. 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.
— Jenna F. · St. Petersburg, FL
If you review all of the HOA law firms, LS Carlson Law wins by a long shot. You'll see that this is the top law firm for HOA representation and the obvious choice. And they only represent homeowners which is a must in my opinion. Absolute love them!! Aggressive and results focused.
— Marijke M. · CA, CA
Responsive law firm that drives cases forward and delivers. Do your research and you'll learn that LS Carlson Law is the number law firm by a long shot. Blessed to have found them, I'd give everyone at the firm ten stars if I could.
— Bobby G. · Corona, CA
Honest, Trustworthy, Reliable. All words that come to mind when I think about LS Carlson Law. Mr. Carlson and his top-notch lawyers are also cunning, dynamic, and responsive. They care and and aim to win!
— Nina R. · Irvine, CA
Impressive. I contacted this law firm for an H.O.A. situation. From the first contact with Mollie, I was impressed, she had me set up with a consultation in no time. Mollie was engaging and friendly. My consultation was with attorney Nick Tomic. Wow, informative, listened to my concerns, he was easy to understand and I had all my questions answered. Nick, thank you, you gave me a good sense of direction and I am more clear and focused! Nick Tomic kept things real and never rushed me along. I wanted my HOA documents explained and he did that. I wanted direction, he did that! The reviews for this firm are true, not money hungry attorneys after your money. Thanks Nick for being one of the good guys!
— Sally G. · Anaheim, CA
Extremely detailed, thorough, helpful, professional and considerate. Explained various legalities in a clear concise manner. Not only did Jeff Kominsky speak well, but he listened attentively to all our concerns.
