Kirk Pearson knows what it looks like when an HOA stops acting in good faith. He's seen the selective enforcement, the retaliatory fines, the board meetings where homeowners are talked over or shut out entirely. As a partner at LS Carlson Law, Kirk focuses his practice on representing homeowners—not associations—in disputes that have already escalated past the point of easy resolution.
With extensive litigation and trial experience across California, Kirk brings real courtroom credibility to every case. He's handled matters in both state and federal courts, from Northern California to Southern California, and understands how to build leverage through thorough preparation, strategic motion practice, and—when necessary—trial. That background matters because HOAs often change their approach when they realize they're dealing with counsel who won't back down.
Before law school, Kirk studied English at Brigham Young University—a foundation that sharpened his ability to communicate clearly and cut through legal complexity. He earned his J.D. from Pepperdine Caruso School of Law, where he served as Literary Citation Editor on the Journal of Business, Entrepreneurship, and the Law.
Kirk lives in Orange County with his wife and three children. When he's not advocating for homeowners, you'll find him outdoors—skiing, mountain biking, or camping with his family.
