I fully endorse this law firm. My experience has been nothing but stellar. Mr. Ryan Davies was…read moretruly 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!

Where do I even begin to describe this disaster?…read more Hired them over a year ago to handle a dispute with my neighbor and HOA. Not only was it difficult most of the time to reach my attorney, but when I did there was very little follow-up. The HOA would send emails to them regarding violations and hearings and I wouldn't even get told. Since I would get no follow up, I would call several times to be told I would receive a call back from another attorney or my main attorney and never did. Once I started complaining more adamantly, all of the sudden one of the partners reaches out to me for payment. Not when I was having issues prior, not helping in my case, not calling for a check-in - only when payment is involved. Never once did I hear an apology or anything from him for the lack of service but just demands for money. With all the issues I'd been experiencing and the complete lack of anything substantial being done, this is the first I hear from him. Mind you, over a year has gone by and no progress was made and the HOA increased their pressure - not back off. An ADR letter was sent out that was ignored by both parties. Prior to that, cease and desist letters were sent that were also ignored. Literally nothing was done for me besides sending a few nasty letters. No mediation, no physical meetings, no court/lawsuit and no forward progress was made after a year with them and wanted to charge me over $11,000. Some of the costs for me included having talks amongst each other about my case at the office, rewrites of letters that I had to correct them on errors about, and $50+ emails all typically billed at the highest rate. I'm in a worse off position now than I was a year ago. Ryan Davies and this firm should be ashamed to even consider charging someone for a service that produced no results, never went to mediation/court as wanted and promised, and worsened a situation.

We hired James Burns to help us create our living trust. He was nothing short of exceptional. As…read morethis was our first time going through this process, James was very patient and explained every detail to us. I found James on Yelp and he certainly lived up to his 5 star reviews. Setting up an initial appointment with him was easy peasy. We actually did a zoom call for the first meeting, as it occurred during the Covid pandemic. He sent us some initial paperwork to fill out, and that's what we discussed during our zoom call. The second meeting was at his office, as we had to sign the paperwork with a notary present. The meeting went smoothly and fast. Their office is located in Aliso Viejo in a professional office environment. The next day, our binder with all the paperwork was available for pick up. We were so impressed with how organized and efficient they are! We enjoyed James's mild demeanor, kind personality and strong attention to detail. We are so glad that we chose James to help us through this process, and would highly recommend him to anyone!

Working with James was a pleasure. We were fish out of water trying to execute a will and have…read morenever done this before. He was very helpful very quick in getting us the paperwork we needed to satisfy the bank. It was a little bit of a rough start with him and we all thought that one another was being rude when we all took time to explain what was going on for us as individuals everybody was able to take a deep breath calm down and he gave us fantastic customer service.

What fantastic service!…read more My family and I reached out to receive advice on liability (a leak in the HOA's exterior wall led to mold in my unit), and Sam Khil provided a remarkably detailed breakdown of everything we needed to know. We had questions as well, and he was able to respond with off-the-cuff citations of specific codices. He remained patient and helpful when certain elements were confusing to us, and even went thirty minutes long at no extra charge! I know his schedule must not always allow for such generosity. Still, the fact that he chooses to offer that when he can only serves to demonstrate how committed he is to providing the best possible care for his clients and potential clients. He was very clear about costs as well, offering refreshingly honest evaluations of our potential needs, benefits, and fees. The entire company seems very well run, providing thorough expertise in their area of focus. Should my family and I ever need to engage a lawyer in a more extended capacity, we will definitely be choosing MBK Chapman!

So far, I've only spoken to Trish, OMG she's amazing-if I didn't need help desperately I'd still…read morehope to meet Trish. I love when service agents can "read-the-room". If they can't my case, I absolutely understand. So clearly I'm already raving about MBK because if the attorneys are as professional and receptive as Trish, say less! I'm shocked at how affordable, at least, the cost for initial consultation is. I am so emotional to finally get to speak to someone that may be able to help me through this nightmare and not have to send my kids out to help pay. LOL... at this point with the malfeasance of my HOA, and my attempt at litigating in pro per, I don't know how much more I can survive and I'm sure this is where ever opposing party want's their opponents to be.

If I could give this law firm a 0 rating, I would have. I live in Florida where MBK has also…read morerecently set up shop and I had a simple problem with an HOA board. The attorney who was assigned to me was extremely rude and discourteous and literally shouted at me during the whole consultation. I asked him to call opposing counsel to speak about what would have been a very easy fix to my problem but he refused and said that I would have to file mediation and pay thousands of dollars for him to review documents so basically all they're doing on these consultations is trying to get somebody to needlessly spend thousands of dollars. At $375 a consult this firm is reeling in thousands for doing NOTHING

We found Anthony Dispoto, Esq. during COVID when our tenants stopped making rent payments, and…read moreworking with him was a huge relief during a very stressful time. He guided us through the situation with clarity and professionalism, helping us understand our options and take the right steps. Since then, we've reached out to him from time to time for advice, especially on small claims matters. What really stands out is his generosity, he's often willing to provide thoughtful guidance without charging for quick consultations. He's also very candid, which we truly appreciate. He doesn't just tell you what you want to hear; he gives practical, honest feedback so you can make informed decisions. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and trustworthy real estate attorney, I would definitely recommend Anthony.

I am a certified Mediator for the California Association of Realtors, having successfully settled…read moreover 300 real estate and other complicated civil disputes. Often the parties to the dispute engage attorneys to represent them in my mediation hearings. As a result, I've worked with over 100 attorneys during this process. Some have been controlling, ego-driven, unprofessional, insensitive, opportunistic, and/or some combination of these characteristics. However, I found Brian Ballo to be just the opposite! He was extremely professional, clearly understood all of the laws pertinent to the case, and yet, he displayed a level of sensitivity and respect towards the opposing parties that I've rarely seen in my past mediation experience. If I ever personally need an attorney to represent me in a legal dispute, BRIAN BALLO, Esq. would be at the top of my list to hire.
