Steven Shack, Esq.
PartnerIf you're dealing with an HOA that won't listen, won't budge, or won't play fair, Steven Shack understands exactly what you're up against. As a partner at LS Carlson Law, Steven has handled a wide range of HOA disputes—and he's seen the patterns that repeat when boards believe a homeowner won't fight back.
Steven knows how these situations tend to unfold: selective enforcement, ignored requests, fees that don't add up, retaliation dressed up as "policy." He's deeply familiar with the tactics HOAs use to wear people down, and he brings a strategic, measured approach to leveling the playing field. His goal isn't drama—it's leverage, accountability, and results.
Before focusing his practice on homeowner advocacy, Steven built a broad legal foundation in estate planning, probate, and property damage claims. That background sharpened his ability to work through complex documents and anticipate where disputes are headed—skills that prove essential in HOA matters, where the fine print in CC&Rs often determines outcomes.
Steven earned his J.D. from St. Thomas University School of Law, where he received awards in Pre-Trial Practice and Professional Responsibility. He is admitted to practice in Florida state courts and the U.S. Southern District of Florida.
He represents homeowners only—never associations.

We zoomed with Steven Shack and all his HOA experience helped us to stay together when a biased background check almost had my partner unable to stay with me in my own home. Steven helped us with terms and statutes to include in certified letters. Just what we needed and we are eternally grateful.Worth every penny.
