Had a consult with Luke Carlson. Extremely knowledgable about all matters HOA related. Very much makes you feel supported during a time of anxiety. Very pro-homeowner. No BS - straight shooter. Totally worth the money I paid for the consult - I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.
Luke S. Carlson, Esq.
FounderLuke Carlson always had an interest in business, real estate, and the protection of wealth. During his collegiate career, he realized law was the best way to immerse himself in all three verticals. Today, as owner of LS Carlson Law, PC, he and his team of powerhouse attorneys service clients with their business, real estate, and estate planning needs. By nature, he is a strategist and loves analyzing a situation to determine the best solution to a client's issue. Carlson understands that the practice of law provides endless opportunities to engage in strategic thinking. Whether it be against an opponent in litigation, which is simply a civilized form of war, or if it comes down to leveraging the laws to protect wealth and legacy, as in estate planning, strategy is essential.
When it comes to the litigation branch of the firm, Carlson is proud of his established team of attorneys who work together to leverage decades of experience in both business and real estate litigation and counts them as the very best in the legal field. As a curated team of battle-tested, highly skilled lawyers, they operate with a single objective – to win. Carlson, like many of the firm's clients, has grown intolerant of the archaic approach of older, traditional law firms. In turn, Mr. Carlson prioritizes efficiency and innovative strategies, and in doing so, has waged war on the "old way of doing things."
Further, the firm's transactional services range from corporate related services to tax guidance to estate planning. As these areas of the law require a unique, custom plan for each and every client, again, Carlson ensured he assembled a team of exceptionally skilled attorneys to provide his clients with the utmost level of legal services to fit their needs.
As the firm continues to grow, Carlson is constantly analyzing new opportunities for expansion into various new markets. Next up is the firm's launch into Texas in the coming months which will bring the firm from a dual state to a multistate footprint.
Carlson resides in Southern California with his wife, Jenny, and their four children.

Mentioning: Luke S. Carlson, Esq.
I had 9 years of ongoing issues with my HOA and was so lost on what to do. When I had an hour consultation with Luke Carlson, it really helped me learn my options of how to solve this long ongoing dispute.
Luke Carlson and entire staff are the kindest professional company I have ever worked with. Thanks for your help.
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.
Easily the best real estate and business litigation firm. Luke was responsive and helpful from start to finish

When it comes to real estate disputes, having a competent, aggressive, understanding, and well-respected attorney is a must. This firm checks all the boxes. But you don’t have to trust this review. Do your own research. You’ll find that Luke Carlson and his wonderful LS Carlson team are the best of the best. I know why clients love them and law firms are scared to go up against them!

I recently had a consultation with Luke Carlson of LS Carlson Law, PC regarding an issue with my HOA. He was very professional and listened to understand the issues. He was able to provide useful options to resolve the issues. I would highly recommend him.
My colleague Paul and I dealt with Luke Carlson and I must say we had an outstanding experience. Thank you to Sarah and the rest of the team!

I met Luke along time ago and I shared with him some concerns about my business his team from LS Carlson Law met with me and explain everything that I needed to know so I can understand better my situation and be more clear on what I need it to do to be protected thanks Ls Carlson Law
I am the owner of a law firm in San Francisco and Luke and his team are our go to law firm for clients who need a rock star business litigator. If you need an attorney who specializes in disputes, please give Luke a call. You will be very glad that you did.
Luke and his partner Mike assisted me for a long while on my various business dealings (which, as an aside, they outperformed every law firm that I've ever used). More recently, they represented me personally in a very hostile HOA case. In it, they destroyed the other side (which was my highly negligent HOA and an awful HOA President) and I walked away with everything I demanded - and more : ) So, much appreciated and I'm blessed to have you guys on my side!
The firm's business protection plan safeguarded my company. So grateful for Luke's proactive and innovative approach to business protection! Thanks for everything!!
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.
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.
I talked on the phone with Luke Carlson about a month and a half ago for 15 minutes. He answered the questions I had about an issue I have with the HOA. I schedule an appointment with him a month later to see what legal action I can take. They had a great hospitality since I got there. He had his notes about our conversation so it was easier to explain everything faster. He explained all of my options and he walked me through the process.
I've used all the large name brand law firms and can say that Luke and his team outperformed all of then. In fact, I've turned over all of my company's transaction and litigation matters and can say that these guys deliver every time. Thanks Luke, Mike, and team!! See you next week!
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.
Won massive lawsuit against my HOA. Luke and his firm was very aggressive against a terribly mismanaged HOA. Couldn't recommend Kushner Carlson enough - thanks!!
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!!!!!
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.
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!
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!!
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!!
Couldn't be happier with Luke and his firm's representation of my business dispute. Their approach was spot on as my former business partner ended up dropping her frivolous claims within a month of the firm's involvement!

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.
