A true man of integrity, kindness, patience and honesty!

I was referred to Attorney Usman in June to help me deal with an unfounded lawsuit against me. My husband and I met with Attorney Usman at his office and he looked over the lawsuit, looked at the proof I had and counseled us on how to handle our situation. He was so patient with my questions and to...ok all the time needed to help me understand our next step. He walked us through the process and helped me answer questions that confused me. Even after the first set of answers were sent to the party that was suing me; I would e-mail him with many questions and he was always prompt with all of my questions. Needless to say the party attacking me dropped their lawsuit. To me Attorney Usman is a gentleman, who happens to be a lawyer and most lawyers have a bad reputation for looking out for themselves and how much money they can make. Attorney Usman is the opposite - his clients come first and the cost for his unbelievable services are more than fair and he's worth so much more than what he charges. The day he found out the opposing party had dropped their lawsuit he took the time to call us at home in the evening to let us know the good news. He was as excited as we were and wanted to make sure we knew we could finally rest. I don't know of any other lawyer willing to immerse himself totally with his' clients best interests and feelings. My husband and I consider him a friend and look forward to continue to working with him in the next step of working towards repairing what the other party tried to destroy. I would recommend him with no hesitation whatsoever. He has been an answer to our prayers.

Keep Calm and Trust Attorney Z

If you're overwhelmed by debt, and stressing over your financial situation, then I highly recommend you schedule a free consultation with Zeshan Usman. He will quickly run the numbers and let you know if a debt consolidation, chapter 7, or chapter 13 is the right option for you. Bankruptcy can se...em like a daunting option, but Z demystifies all of it for you and makes sure that your paperwork is completely in order. At our Meeting With The Creditors, which occurs 4-5 weeks after you file, two of the four couples ahead of us had to reschedule their meeting because the trustee noticed a piece of information was missing in their documentation (these couples had attorneys). We breezed through our meeting in about 2-3 minutes because Z had us so well prepared and the paperwork and documentation were all complete. As other reviewers have noted, he responds to emails almost immediately, even on weekends. You always communicate directly with him and not a paralegal or secretary. He attends the Meeting With The Creditors with you. You'll never be unsure what the next step is and won't be flailing on your own. Bankruptcy is one of those things that happens slowly then all at once. The circumstances leading up to bankruptcy are stressful and can take a toll on you mentally and physically, but you don't have to live under that weight anymore. Bankruptcy has given me and my husband the fresh start that we desperately needed. The only thing you'll regret if you hire Z is that you didn't do it sooner.

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 Experience for Something we Feared

My wife and I were nervous about filing bankruptcy as anyone would be. Z made the process easy and as pain free as it could be. He always responsive when we had a question, no matter when it was. In this process we wanted to make sure we had someone in our corner who had all the i's dotted and the ...t's crossed and to not miss anything, and that is exactly what we got. Seeing how some other attorneys were in the Meeting of Creditors, I leaned over to my wife and said we definitely had the right guy on our side. Thanks again, Z. You are the best!

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.
