Poor Excuse For A Lawyer

DO NOT HIRE! Stephan Kahn acts as if he cares in the beginning. He is a very nonchalant man and a horrible communicator. I hired Kahn a year ago for a criminal matter and paid him $5,000 to start the case. Kahn stated in the beginning that it was not about the money he works to get his client's home.... About a year into the case before I decided to fire Kahn as legal representative of my husband, he started to show lack of concern. Kahn allowed the district attorney to do most of the work when he should have done foot work to prove my husband innocence. Kahn had no strategy, nor did he even try to get any of my husband cases dismissed. When asked can he get a charge dismissed or at least file some type of motion instead of just showing up to court and waving time, Kahn responds to me and says he will not make himself look stupid and file a dismissal on any case and at the same time stated one of my husband cases was very weak. We also started to figure out that Kahn had no real acknowledgment of my husband case, he didn't even know how many charges overall my husband had and had his case almost a year. Kahn wasn't even aware that my husband didn't have any strikes but yet he agreed in court with the judge when she stated my husband was a striker. He began to make my husband feel hopeless. he has told my incarcerated husband on several occasions no matter what he decides to do with his case that he still gets to walk out the door everyday while my husband sits in jail. Kahn is a very unprofessional person and have lack of empathy for humans. Kahn has been a lawyer for decades and just maybe he has no love in his heart for it anymore. I pray to God he doesn't lie and prey on anyone else's family for money. We paid a total of $9,000 just for him to stand side of my husband at court. I DO NOT RECOMMEND HIM FOR ANYONE.

Stephen can is very unscrupulous.

He took my money and gave me no service. He made me feel as though he was working with the authorities. After taking over $100,000 he did not even have the courtesy to come and see me, nor did he pursue my case. I am filing a criminal case against him.
