He's so good he makes everyone else look bad

Besides the random speeding ticket and falling into debt, I had never been in trouble with the law, so when I found out that a creditor was suing me, naturally, I freaked out. And so began my search for a lawyer. I came across law firms that were either not experienced enough or didn’t have good cust...omer service. Zeshan Usman, or Z as people like to call him, stood out as an expert in the field, and he offered the kind of personal care and attention that is rarely found anywhere. After working with him, I’m now convinced he’s the best in town. I originally hired Z to help me file for bankruptcy, but after taking a look at my situation, he advised against it and helped me come up with a better-suited action plan. He negotiated with the plaintiff’s attorney to come up with a settlement agreement that I would not have been able to achieve myself. Thus, I saved a lot of money and also gained some time to get my finances in order so I don't have to file for bankruptcy in the future. During our meetings, Z treated me with the utmost respect, and I never felt judged or patronized even though I was to blame for my own financial troubles. He was always quick to respond to my calls, texts, and emails, and he walked me through the process each step of the way with the kind of patience and compassion that one would expect from a friend. In fact it was easy to think of him as that, a friend who was helping me out of a jam. Z may be friendly and laid-back, but he’s also professional, direct, and tenacious about fighting for his client and getting the job done quickly and efficiently. Without a doubt, I would use his services again. So there’s a reason why everyone’s giving Zeshan Usman 5-star reviews across the board. He’s good. He’s really good. If you’re looking for someone who knows his job inside and out, someone who’s reputable with his associates and clients, and someone who actually cares about helping you…Z’s your man.

Great Process

Zeshan Usman is a very knowledgable, careful and thorough bankruptcy lawyer. Everything was done "by the book" and our chapter-7 was completed succesfully. This by-the-book, successful completion was especially rewarding since we'd witnessed a few other cases where the trustee was hassling the file...rs because of poor legal paper work. But Zeshan's greatest asset is that he is very personable, friendly, relating and responsive. Whether during normal business hours or during mealtime on weekends, every one of our questions, concerns, emails or phone calls were replied to very quickly; usually immediately. Zeshan really gets it. He clearly related to the fact that we were scared, embarresed, humiliated and emotionally needy. We had been told that many very, very qualified bankruptcy lawyers could be seemingly cold and nonrelating. So Zeshan Usman was exactly the "added value" we were hoping for (at NO EXTRA CHARGE). The Lord was on our side!

Bankruptcy made smooth by honest, direct, and compassionate lawyer

Mr. Usman was professional, detailed, and compassionate in every step of my Bankruptcy. He took extra time to understand all the caveats of my case before recommending a course of action. I was especially impressed with his responsiveness to my questions. Also key was his use of internet and documen...t technology which I feel helped to shorten the amount of time it took for my case to proceed. Overall, he was very good at explaining what is or would happen. I never felt rushed during my visits or correspondence. In the way he dealt with me I felt he took appropriate personal interest in my situation which was key to winning my trust. In retaining Mr. Usman I received the value of his services over an above one might expect. If you need a Bankruptcy lawyer, your first move should be to make an appointment.

For Debt Issues, He's "The Man"

I once read there are two kinds of lawyers; those who use their knowledge of the law to make other people's lives easier, and parasites. Zeshan Usman made our lives easier. When a lawsuit was filed against us for a medical bill we were unable to pay we received two flyers in the mail from attor...neys reaching out to offer assistance. We answered the one which was better written and more detailed about the services which were offered—this led us to Mr. Usman. From the initial consultation through the filing process to the final conference with the bankruptcy counselor, Mr. Usman was highly detailed in his approach. He led us through every step and answered questions promptly and completely. He is devoted to his specialty and that showed at the bankruptcy hearing when it was obvious he had a rapport with the counselor handling our case. Questions we would have had trouble answering for ourselves were handled through a few abbreviated half sentences exchanged between the counselor and Mr. Usman. (It is noteworthy Mr. Usman was with us at our hearing. Of the other four people waiting to go through their hearings we were the only ones with professional representation. It was a very comforting feeling.) One of the things I personally respect about him is how he runs his business for efficient functionality—not to fulfill the need to maintain an "appearance." His small office is bare, just a work station and a couple of chairs for his clients. With a computer and the Internet he doesn't need a secretary and a wall full of law books. So he does not have them. And the cost? Lawyers aren't cheap. We were in financial trouble already and couldn't afford to splurge. But I feel we received excellent value for the services we received. And his payment was bundled into the arrangement we made with the bankruptcy court so paying it was pretty painless. Since our filing we have our lives back without constant calls from creditors. Our finances are organized so we can begin to build a future we couldn't see six months ago. We have less stress and can keep up with our current obligations. So in a way, Mr. Usman's services seem pretty cheap by comparison. My wife and I both highly recommend Zeshan Usman for anybody who needs to handle a debt issue. He'll take care of everything.
