Sometimes the Little Guy finds himself pinned against the ropes with no visible way of escape. A Mountain of Debt and a Decade of Creditor Intimidation had left us down for the count. We prayed and God connected us with James Kahn and his Team of Excellence. They brought a quick resolution to ...

"In addition to being a nice guy that obviously cares about his clients, Jim is one of the most experienced, and highly respected lawyers in the bankruptcy community. I highly recommend and endorse him."
"James Kahn and his staff are unwavering in knowledge and comprehensive work. He is a delight to work with, and I hope to have the opportunity to work with him on client matters in the future."
"I have known James Kahn for 20 years. He is the essence of a true professional: a great lawyer, wonderful person and dedicated educator. He is one of the best bankruptcy attorneys I have had the pleasure to work with. He treats his clients with the utmost respect and kindness. Jim is committed to educating his clients about the complexities of bankruptcy and assists them in avoiding the many pitfalls involved with bankruptcy. He is held in very high respect by his peers in the bankruptcy community, including other lawyers, the judges, Court staff and his own staff. Jim would be my choice if I needed a bankruptcy attorney. As evidenced by my sending referrals to him regularly. Jim is an adjunct professor at the Phoenix School of Law, a regular speaker on bankruptcy for the State Bar and other professional organizations. Jim is one of those people who makes you smile. I have never seen him in bad humor, nor act disrespectful to anyone. You will be pleased that you met him."
"I've known Jim Kahn for almost 30 years. He was a well-established lawyer when I started practice, and he was never too busy to answer a question from the new kid on the block. Over the years, I've referred him conflicts or cases that I was too busy to handle, and my reports back on his performance in those cases has been uniformly excellent. He is an excellent lawyer, and has been on the short list for Bankruptcy Judge more than once. Sometimes we're on the same side, and sometimes in opposition. His work has always been first rate in those cases. And I note that he's been awarded membership on the Superlawyers.com site; it seems fully deserved to me. Finally, the fact that JIm (as of the date of this posting) does not yet have a perfect 10 rating on AVVO demonstrates that the AVVO algorithm for judging lawyers is not yet perfect."
