Review Zeshan Khan

Mr.

Posted by

Zeshan, was very friendly and knowledgeable and very straightforward with his consultation. I was very nervous about being served, he calmed my nerves very quickly. He gave me the most honest and concise advice I could have asked for and I am very lucky to have gotten a chance to speak to him. Highly recommend him if you are in need of help with litigating financial problems!

Zeshan Khan is a problem solver!!!!

Posted by

I hired Mr. Khan the Friday before my Monday divorce trail date. He met with me to discuss my case on a Sunday (Mother’s Day no less!!!). He was very understanding and kind. I had no idea what to do, but he did! He walked me through my options, and helped me to choose my path wisely. I would recommend him for his outstanding humor in the face of sadness, and his ability to say what you need to hear (even if you don’t want to hear it). Thanks again! I’m freeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

Precise, methodical and practical

Posted by

I’m glad I hired Zeshan to help resolve my divorce in a manner that was agreeable to both parties. My case was complicated by the fact the marriage happened in another country even though the divorce was initiated here. Zeshan was considerate, perceptive, and precise in his interpretations of law, and what was possible and what not. His perceptiveness, were evident in his ability to distill responses and identify the motivations behind them, as well as foresee what the respondent was thinking and wanted. He was also a great advisor and a soothing presence who helped calm my nerves when things weren't moving/stalling. And Most importantly, he helped me arrive at an economical solution for both parties, that minimized time, effort, cost and maximized peace of mind for all.

Excellent

Posted by

Zeshan is a fantastic lawyer. I was referred to him by another lawyer. I was going through a tough divorce/custody battle. Though I was scared as hell to losing my daughter and being relocated, Zeshan made the process easy and comforting as much as he could. He's the person you want in your corner when your in the ring. Many would say lawyers are just in it for the money. True, it's a business, but I can guarantee that his clients come first. I've had lawyers before for other circumstances and never had one that made me feel my money was well spent. I actually can say we built a friendship through the process (maybe cause he's a Florida Gator as I am). But he's humble, intelligent, fiery and honest. He always responded to my emails or phone calls and if he wasn't available, then he would get back to me in a timely manner. I'm telling you people, if your looking for a lawyer you can trust and money well spent, look no further. It's a no brainer, his reviews says it all. I'll go back to him if need be. The outcome of case was beyond expectation. My daughter is not being relocated and the divorce was mutually satisfying on both ends. Thank you Zeshan and GO GATORS!

Very responsive and excellent services

Mr. Zeshan and his paralegal Colline were extremely helpful to get my divorce handled. Most of our communication was over email which was great as my schedule is very busy. They were literary responding within minutes to my questions and were providing advices that helped me choose the best options as part of the settlement. I would highly recommend their services to anyone seeking legal help.

Zeshan came highly recommended and I arranged a consultation to discuss my rights in the dissolution of a long-term committed intimate relationship. From our first meeting, I felt very comfortable talking to Zeshan, and confident that I had made the right choice to contact him. As my case progressed, I had so many questions and he was always remarkably patient, answering in language I could understand, and making absolutely sure I understood the process. Zeshan is intelligent and well informed, he has a positive attitude, and I have the highest respect and appreciation for his professionalism. Because of Zeshan’s knowledge, passion, and dedication, my case has resulted in a fair and equitable judgement, and I am forever grateful for his commitment and support through this incredibly difficult time.

Excellent lawyer and communicator

Posted by

Zeshan helped me reach a settlement for my divorce, and I was really happy with the result. He clearly knows the divorce area extremely well and is approachable, pragmatic, reassuring, professional, and has a great way of relating to people, including the other parties in the facilitation process. At the same time, he is very sharp in making arguments, anticipating the motivations of what the other party is planning, and made a clear recommendation on where he felt I should draw the line, which definitely ensured a great outcome in my case. He was also really patient and took his time to explain the consequences of the more intricate legal matters. Going through a divorce is such a depressing experience, but Zeshan made it a lot less stressful. Another important thing that's very reassuring: he's really fast in responding on email, phone, and text, and explains things clearly. I highly recommend Zeshan and will definitely use him again for any future legal needs.

An AMAZING Bankruptcy Lawyer!

I can tell you Zeshan has made the whole bankruptcy process a lot easier than I would have thought. Starting from the initial communication via phone, to the first meeting to go over the opening set of documents, and throughout all exchanges of communication via text/phone/email and in-person, Zeshan has been absolutely fantastic and very supportive. I ask a lot of technical questions and he answered every.single.question with a solid answer where I can see clearly without worry and thats a major plus in my book. It definitely helps that I was able to produce most documentation rather quickly and that's great because he moves fast...like, lightning fast. There is no messing around with him. Zeshan is on point, quick to respond, quick to deliver documents for signing, and quick to file with the court, but on the same note he is also very supportive, caring, and thinks fast with logic and thats unique in itself. Zeshan advised me of my options and cautioned me about moving too quickly and that I should wait because it could prove costly. I did wait a little while so that I was not liable for any condo HOA Dues after bankruptcy. When Zeshan contacted me that I was discharged and my debt has been wiped out, it was a major relief! He did not miss any deadlines and thats a major plus in my book. Overall, I highly recommend Zeshan to anyone who is considering bankruptcy. He is one of a kind.

I found Zeshan through this website and contacted him based on the impressive reviews he had received. I needed to file a chapter seven and was nervous and scared to even go to the initial consultation. All of that tension and fear faded away as soon as I met Zeshan, he made me feel completely comfortable about my situation. It was that moment that I knew I had chosen the correct lawyer to handle my case. From then on he was energetic, responsive, knowledgeable, helpful, and positive. The rest of my case went smoothly with no hiccups, I definitely recommend Zeshan to anybody who needs to file for bankruptcy.

I have referred clients to Zeshan I knew he would take and others would not due to the complexity of the issues presented. Zeshan not only exceeded my expectations with the result, but the clients referred informed me that Zeshan was the best referral they had ever received.

Jonathan Hilty, Family Attorney on Jul 15, 2015

Zeshan is well respected in the legal community. He works hard for his clients, is diligent, and achieves results. I refer clients to him with confidence.

William Malaier, Bankruptcy and debt Attorney on Jul 2, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I've worked with, and against, Zeshan on several matters over the past 10+ years. His intellect, knowledge of the law, and compassion for his clients are evident within minutes of meeting him. Because of this, I not only refer clients to him often, I find myself calling him to brainstorm difficult legal issues. I could not endorse Zeshan more highly.

Hugh Barrow, General practice Attorney on Aug 26, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Zeshan is committed to professional excellence and dedicated to getting results for his clients. I highly recommend him for his skill and honesty.

I endorse Zeshan. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community.

Elizabeth Hoffman

I worked with Zeshan years ago when I was a wee Rule 9 intern, and have kept in professional and personal contact with him since then. Zeshan is a compassionate, thorough, and effective advocate. He brings both creativity and practicality into his work, which means his clients get the results that they both want and need. Zeshan has also been a great resource for me in my practice, particularly with regard to bankruptcy and creditor/debtor issues. I most certainly endorse him!

Cristina Jorgenson, Bankruptcy and debt Attorney on Aug 10, 2010
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Zeshan is a smart and experienced attorney that works hard to provide his clients with excellent results. Over the past year Zeshan has become the attorney I call with bankruptcy questions and when potential clients have consumer protection / debt issues that are beyond my expertise. Zeshan is always quick to respond to my calls with sound and practical advice. I highly recommend his services.

Christina King, General practice Attorney on Jun 4, 2008
Relationship: Co-worker

Zeshan is the type of attorney that will rise to the top of any area of law he chooses to practice. He is a natural leader in his field; the sort of attorney that firms vie for and clients dream will handle their case. Having had the honor of learning from him as an intern, and working side by side as an associate, I would consider any client or issue in Zeshan’s hands to be in excellent care.

Shelly Crocker, Bankruptcy and debt Attorney on May 11, 2008
Relationship: Supervised lawyer

Zeshan is new to our firm, but we are so thrilled to have him. He is a strong advocate for client, personable and smart, and a skilled litigator. He has a varied legal background and brings a wide variety of skills to the practice.

Mary Banahan, General practice Attorney on Apr 18, 2008
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Zeshan is bright, hard working and very dedicated to the best interests of his clients. Zeshan is an excellent advocate in every sense. He is also a true pleasure to work with.
