Larissa Branes, Esq.

When you're dealing with a serious property dispute—whether it involves an HOA, a mobile home park issue, or a nondisclosure claim—you need someone who understands California’s legal framework and the practical realities at stake. Larissa Branes is an experienced litigator focused on protecting property owners when conflicts escalate.

As a partner at LS Carlson Law, Larissa concentrates on real estate litigation, with a significant portion of her work dedicated to representing homeowners in HOA disputes. She has handled the full range of HOA matters, including selective enforcement, retaliation, improper fines, maintenance failures, and governance violations. Her courtroom experience throughout California allows her to build cases that create real leverage—and she is fully prepared to litigate when an association refuses to resolve a matter appropriately.

In addition to HOA litigation, Larissa represents mobile home park owners in regulatory and operational disputes, an area that requires careful navigation of California’s Mobilehome Residency Law and related statutory schemes. She also handles real estate nondisclosure matters, representing buyers and sellers in disputes involving misrepresentation, failure to disclose material facts, and post-transaction conflicts.

Her background in real estate and business litigation provides a broader strategic perspective when property disputes intersect with title issues, contractual obligations, or complex damages analysis.

Larissa graduated cum laude from Chapman University School of Law and earned her undergraduate degree from UC Irvine. When she’s not advocating for clients, you’ll find her hiking with her dogs, running, or competing in equestrian events.

Larissa brings disciplined preparation, sound judgment, and a straightforward approach to every case. If you're looking for an attorney who understands California real estate disputes from multiple angles and knows how to litigate strategically, she’s someone you want on your side.
