BAD HOATM by LUKE CARLSON
Mr. Davies spent over two decades representing some of the largest institutional clients in the country—Ford, Chrysler, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota—in complex business and real estate litigation. He learned how organizations with deep pockets think, how they strategize, and how they try to wear people down through sheer attrition.
Now he puts that knowledge to work for homeowners.
Since joining LS Carlson Law in 2019, Mr. Davies has focused on representing homeowners in disputes with HOAs. He's deeply familiar with the tactics boards and management companies rely on—selective enforcement, procedural delays, and intimidation dressed up as "policy." He's seen how these disputes escalate when homeowners don't have someone in their corner who understands the game.
As a key member of the firm's special motions, appeals, and projects team, Mr. Davies handles cases that require precise legal work and careful strategy. When an HOA believes they can outspend or outlast you, he's the attorney who knows how to change that calculation.
Mr. Davies earned his law degree from Willamette University School of Law in 1997 and his undergraduate degree from UC Santa Barbara. With more than 25 years of litigation experience—much of it against well-resourced opponents—he brings a steady hand and a clear-eyed approach to every homeowner case he takes on.

My consultation with Ryan Davies was pleasant and enlightening. He provided a simple and upfront legal analysis of my case that allowed me to understand what the strengths and weaknesses of my case were...I appreciate Ryan [Davies], Kitty Nix, and all the staff at LS Carlson!
I had a mortgage loan dispute and had hired an attorney who completely dropped the ball on my case and it was just a few weeks away from being dismissed due to their negligence. It was very difficult to find a firm who handles this type of law. I came across LS Carlson, spoke with a partner Ryan who had experience with this type and law and assigned my case to some fantastic attorneys, Larissa , Tate and their team. They not only had to save my case, but they had to re-work and re-submit new complaints that actually held water. Within just a few months we agreed on a settlement after almost two years of going absolutely no where with the previous attorney. They saved our case, restored our faith and saved us so much time. I hope we never have to be in a legal dispute in the future, but if we do I would hire them in a heartbeat! Thank you Ryan, Larissa and Tate!
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!
Excellent consultation. Ryan was very helpful, did not feel rushed or pressured, answered all our questions. Thank you Ryan!
Update: I met with one of the partners of LS Carlson Law, Ryan Davies in my initial strategic consultation. He was very attentive, kind, and clear in what my legal options are. He was very thorough in explaining my legal options and very straightforward which I appreciated. I'm very grateful to him for advising me as now I know what my legal rights are and how to proceed. Thank you Mr. Ryan Davies ! I found this Law Firm last weekend due to my ongoing difficulties with my HOA to enforce the CC and Rs. I can immediately tell you certainly pay for impeccable professionalism and efficiency. Immediately I received a call from the firm after I submitted my query over the weekend. Andrew in intake listened to me for over 30 minutes to gather information about my issue. I look forward to having this firm help me as I have been having ongoing issues with HOA for years as I was ignorant to my rights in CA as a homeowner in a condo association! The videos by Mr. Carlson and his wife Jenny and Marty are SO INFORMATIVE!!! Anyone dealing with HOA issues please contact LS Carlson Law.
Was let go from my job and employer wanted me to sign an agreement with a ton of stipulations. Ryan went over the agreement and gave suggestions on all areas. Without Ryan, I would have been completely lost and missed out on several things. I would recommend LS Carlson Law for sure!!!
