Gagan W. Khan

I strongly regret hiring attorney Gagan Khan and Vestige Law, PLLC. Prospective clients deserve to know what happened. I paid this law firm $10,000 to represent me in a Texas family-law matter. Instead of competent, attentive representation, I experienced repeated disagreements over fundamental fa...cts, serious concerns about legal strategy, escalating fee demands, and communications I considered insulting and unprofessional. 1. FAILURE TO UNDERSTAND BASIC FACTS ABOUT MY RESIDENCE Despite my repeated explanations that I have been residing in Egypt for approximately two years, my attorney continued to make statements about my Texas residency that I strongly disputed. My physical location and residency are central to my jurisdictional defense. How can an attorney properly represent a client while repeatedly disputing such a fundamental fact? 2. SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT TEXAS RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE 120a I repeatedly emphasized the importance of preserving my Special Appearance and challenging personal jurisdiction under Rule 120a. I disputed my attorney’s interpretation of how procedural filings could affect that jurisdictional objection. I requested a clear explanation supported by controlling legal authority but did not receive an explanation that resolved my concerns. 3. MY INSTRUCTIONS AND PREFERRED LEGAL STRATEGY I wanted a cost-conscious approach that prioritized jurisdictional issues and explored mediation. Instead, I was concerned that the representation was moving toward an expensive litigation strategy that I had not authorized or agreed to fund. 4. OUTRAGEOUS ESCALATION OF PROPOSED LEGAL FEES After paying $10,000, I was confronted with a proposed legal budget exceeding $102,000, with a request for an additional $15,000 retainer. I had already disclosed that my monthly income was $300. The proposed $102,000 represents more than 28 years of my entire income. I found this financially unrealistic and troubling. 5. SERIOUS LOSS OF CONFIDENCE IN MY ATTORNEY’S INDEPENDENCE I became concerned that my attorney appeared to accept disputed representations associated with the opposing party while rejecting my repeated explanations and evidence. This damaged my trust and made me question whether my interests were being independently and adequately protected. I am not presenting an allegation of bribery as an established fact. I am describing my serious concerns and loss of confidence. 6. UNPROFESSIONAL AND INSULTING COMMUNICATIONS After I demanded accountability and a refund, I received an email from Gagan Khan stating: “You can grieve all you want but the contract with the firm dictates the terms. You have an extensive criminal record in the United States. These AI generated emails will not work.” I found this extraordinarily offensive. Rather than addressing my concerns about fees, representation, and legal strategy, my former attorney chose to reference my alleged criminal history and dismiss my written complaints by claiming that I used AI. 7. TERMINATION AND DEMAND FOR A FULL $10,000 REFUND I formally terminated the firm’s representation and requested a complete refund of my $10,000 payment. I dispute the value and appropriateness of the services charged and demand a detailed accounting and full reimbursement. I am prepared to pursue appropriate formal grievance and fee-dispute procedures. MY FINAL ASSESSMENT Hiring Gagan Khan and Vestige Law, PLLC was an extremely expensive and distressing mistake. I lost confidence in the firm’s judgment, communication, understanding of my circumstances, and willingness to follow my instructions. I WOULD NOT HIRE THIS ATTORNEY AGAIN, AND I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS FIRM BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE. Anyone considering retaining this firm should carefully examine the engagement agreement, projected litigation costs, refund provisions, and the attorney’s proposed strategy before paying a substantial retainer.

My recent engagement with the consultation process has left me feeling quite uneasy, and I feel compelled to share my experience with you. Initially, I was taken aback by the seemingly low consultation fee quoted, leading me to believe I would be attending an in-person office consultation. However..., on the day of the meeting, there was an unexpected shift to a phone meeting facilitated by an assistant. This assistant consistently sought advice from Gagan for every question, creating a palpable air of uncertainty and raising concerns about the professionalism of the consultation. Expressing my preference for an in-person meeting before making any decisions, I agreed to a $500 per hour consultation fee. Much to my surprise, a subsequent call from the office clerk revealed a rather unconventional requirement – the need to retain services for a minimum of 7 hours before scheduling an initial meeting. This request struck me as unusual and impractical, as it seemed counterintuitive to retain services before the crucial initial consultation. This entire process has left me feeling hesitant and wary about moving forward. The request to retain services before the initial meeting appears unconventional and, frankly, concerning. I believe it's essential for others to exercise caution when dealing with this individual in the consultation process.

Ms. Khan was exceptional, organized and detail oriented. She understood the situation and set up plans to sustain my rights. With her exceptional service, I was able to restore my money and with compensation too without having to wait long for the court to rule out. I would certainly recommend her. ...

As an early stage oil and gas tech start-up we hired Ms. Khan to draft a shareholder agreement that co-founders and early employers can sign. Ms. Khan exceeded our expectation with a well-crafted and airtight document that addresses even potential shareholder problems that may arise any time in a l...ife of a start-up. For example, she has put in place articles that do not allow unrestricted transfer of shares to spouses of shareholder (which is a real problem in the case of a divorce). The fact that she managed to see and take care of items what we did not know impressed us. It also shows her skills to assess the clients’ needs and the dedication to the clients cause. We look forward to continuing our business with Ms. Khan.

Ms. Khan represented me after I got a 6 digit judgement against me in federal court with a different attorney. I went to Ms. Khan and asked for possible solutions. She quickly strategized to get the judgement dismissed and proceeded with the case getting me excellent results at the end! No judgement ...against me in a tough federal court case! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a tough litigator.
