My experience could not have been better. I had excellent communication and a clear understanding of my options. Renee was very empathetic and provided a professional and sincere concern for my needs. Working with a law firm can be intimidating and I have great confidence in their abilities.

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!

We received a crazy, threatening , unsubstantiated letter from our Board of Directors in our HOA. Mr Nicholas Caplin and Ms Divya Bhavsar sent them a forceful letter that stopped them in their tracks. I highly recommend them. They don't push you to spend more money, but it fels good to know you have them in your corner when you are being harrassed by your BOD ! M.H.

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!
— Charles M. · Newport Beach, CA
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.
— Angie D. · Laguna Niguel, CA
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!!
— Tim S. · Vinita, OK
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!!!
— Donna C. · Laguna Niguel, CA
Excellent Law Firm! Professional and attentive from the onset of my experience. Mr. Carlson was clear and concise regarding my specific business needs and his Associates were supportive and highly communicative. Would highly recommend.
— Lollipops G. · Aliso Viejo, CA
I have worked with attorney Luke Carlson on several complex issues ranging from contract review to employment law. As a small business owner I have had many requests for this firm and they provide timely expertise on anything I bring them. Luke Carlson will dive deep into language of contracts with a passion to protect me and my business. The entire team at Kushner Carlson PC is always helpful and accommodating. They make me feel like I am their only client. If you want a team that will have your back and keep you protected then look no further. Their broad legal knowledge and ability to explain even the most complex issues in a way that makes sense is invaluable. I would recommend Kushner Carlson to any small business owner.
— Elizabeth F. · Sacramento, CA
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. Thanks for the all the help and for providing continued protection for me and my business!
— Jerad A. · San Francisco, CA
I've worked with Kushner Carlson for a number of years. As a small business owner, when making any decision that might have legal ramifications, whether it be entering partnerships, preparing contracts, or even legal questions, I always consult their firm. The thing I appreciate the most about Kushner Carlson is their aggressiveness and tenacity. I've never doubted the quality of their work, and I'm always very confident in the support and advice they give my company. I've made many recommendations to my close friends and family to use their firm, and I would make the same recommendation to anyone that cares about protecting their bottom-line and reducing their liabilities.
— Mike C. · Newport Beach, CA
For several years, I've worked with Kushner Carlson and have looked to them for various business law services. From general counsel to drafting complicated contracts, they've consistently delivered exceptional expertise and dedication to my needs. Kushner Carlson is a boutique law firm so it is also very responsive and quick to get the job done. I would highly recommend Kushner Carlson to anyone in need of a business attorney.
— Mike P. · Chino, CA
Used this firm for my homeowners association dispute. It was a highly contentious situation as I was dealing with a completely unreasonable and biased HOA. However, after Kushner Carlson got involved and took an aggressive approach, the HOA ended up settling with me (even though I attempted to settle with them on my own for years!). Anyway, so happy with the results. These are now my go-to bulldogs!
— Steve L. · Ladera Ranch, CA
18 months ago I started a boutique business and the first thing I did was search for a great legal team. After meeting with four other attorneys I found Kushner Carlson online and set an appointment. From the moment I met Luke I knew he would be our companies lawyer, it was the best decision I made. Michael and Luke and their team, have shown me that their are lawyers that don't really know what they are doing and then their are lawyers like Michael and Luke (TOP NOTCH). If anyone ever needed a business attorney you need not look further, you will not find better. If I could give them 20 stars I would. Thank you!!!!!
— Toni S. · Beverly Hills, CA
Franchise gurus! This team assisted me with a franchise that I own. Basically, very large dispute with a large sum of money on the line. They came in "guns blazing" (as they say) and were able to get a quick resolution before the thing turned into a full blown lawsuit. What was most impressive about this is that my former business attorneys were unable to get this result even though they'd been on this case for over a year. I've now turned over my enite book of business to the firm and could not be more pleased with these lawyers!! A million thanks.
— Frank O. · Foothill Ranch, CA
I am small business owner. I recently came across Kushner Carlson for a business franchising issue and they handled it with the upmost professionalism. They helped me out the same day and gave me the peace of mind I was looking for. Definitely would recommend them to anyone with advice on their business.
— Luis A. · San Juan Capistrano, CA
Professional, knowledgeable, WIN mentality & work ethic! Amazing staff! I'm POSITIVE I'll have more to add but am impressed already!
— Adina E. · San Diego, CA
This is the law firm that lawyers go to when they need a lawyer. Aggressive. Ethical. Smart. Over the years, I've worked with this team regarding an ongoing and rather contentious HOA dispute and a variety of business related issues. In all matters, I always came out ahead. And while this review is long overdue, I just wanted to publicly thank this team for all the brilliant work they've done for me. So, thank you, thank you, thank you!!
— James M. · Corona Del Mar, CA
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!
— E J. · Monarch Bay, CA
Water Damage!! After all of the rain we've been having this winter, my condo sustained a LOT of water damage caused by my HOA's disregard for keeping up with the maintenance on my roof. I felt completely overwhelmed with the situation until I reached out to Kushner Carlson and turned everything over to their litigation team. It was such a relief to have an aggressive law firm take over and put my HOA in their place! I got everything I was looking to achieve and I'll definitely turn to Kushner Carlson if I ever need legal help again!
— Greg S. · Irvine, CA
So, recently started my first company (clothing design meets tech), and needed a law firm near Newport. Reached out to this firm and met with Mike and Luke. They were awesome explaining what I needed to protect myself and were able to start my LLC, register my trademarks, and prep my customer agreements. Painless process!!
— Bell J. · Newport Beach, CA
Sharp team of business litigators. I own several businesses and have (unfortunately) been involved in multiple lawsuits. After firing my previous mega law firm - I decided to take a chance with a more mid-size firm. Needless to say, I couldn't have been more impressed by the strategic and efficient way the Kushner Carlson team fought my case! Awesome outcome.
— John W. · Beverly Hills, CA
Michael Kushner is exactly what we needed - aggressive, aggressive, aggressive. Handled our business lawsuit better than we could have anticipated. Thanks, team! We still owe you dinner! : )
— Carol R. · Ladera Ranch, CA
Worked with Mike and Luke for years. Brilliant and aggressive attorneys that deliver. Helped me with an HOA lawsuit and a high-stakes business case and came out on top. Thanks gents!! Keep it up!!
— Jack W. · Newport Coast, CA
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. If you're hunting around for someone to trust in matters of Business and Real Estate Law, this is a man you can trust.
— Gary C. · Laguna Niguel, CA
We've been working with the Kushner-Carlson law offices since 2011 and they have become our in-house counsel at this point. We have utilized them for multiple litigations and have been more than impressed with their attention to detail and aggressive litigation pursuit methods. They have also provided us with multiple options that other firms had been unable to facilitate. We highly recommend this team of professionals.
