Bankruptcy Made Easier..
We came to Jim and Krystal almost four years ago and from the very first meeting we realized we were putting our financial future with the right team. Jim spent well over the allotted first hour with us making sure all of our questions were answered thoroughly. We had a bit of an unusual case, so J...

Knowlgeable, Good Communicator
Mr. Kahn is extremely knowledgeable and was able to communicate effectively with me, a legal novice. He kept me informed as our case progressed and carefully described our options. I felt comfortable that he was giving me the best advice and that it was based on his years of experience as well as his...

Jim Kahn is an Excellent Attorney
I have known Jim and his assistant, Krystal, for a few years and met him a while back when he took care of a friend's bankruptcy. He did a fabulous job and helped him through the process and I felt confident he'd do the same for me. Bankruptcy is a very hard decision to come to, but Jim gave me all ...

Excellent Client Relationship
I was well informed on what to expect, how proceedings would be handled and updated to the progress of the case. The follow-up I received made me feel that I was in good hands. There was never a question that wasn't addressed in a timely fashion. There was a genuine compassion for what we were goi...

Saved our Company
We started with another attorney and after 18 months of frustration, James agreed to pickup the case. Immediately the negotiations with our creditors changed due to the respect and credibility of James Kahn. I sincerely believe that if I hadn't been referred to James, and switched attorneys, we wou...
"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."
