Highly recommended

Zeshan was my attorney for my bankruptcy case. I never felt lost in the system because Zeshan and Colleen were always there to ease me and kept me well informed. I always bombarded them with emails, and they patiently responded to each of them. From the time I scheduled my appointment with Colleen to... my initial meeting up to the closing of my case, I knew I was in good, capable hands. Zeshan is very honest and knowledgeable. I also love that this firm is very casual and friendly. I highly recommend this firm to those who are looking not only for professionalism but also a passion and commitment to helping others. Thank you Zeshan and Colleen for all your help! I will always be grateful.

Zeshan is first rate!

Working with Zeshan was fantastic. Filing for bankruptcy is a difficult experience, and something no-one wants to experience. I never thought that I would be in the position to file for bankruptcy, but the collapse of the housing market left me in a position where bankruptcy was my only option. Ze...shan made the experience as painless as possible. He was attentive and informative, and has the experience to provide sound guidance throughout the process. These are things I think we all look for in a lawyer. But the thing that makes Zeshan stand out to me is the way he treated me as a client. I felt as though I was being coached by a friend through a difficult time. He showed empathy toward a situation I was uncomfortable with and helped me to feel confident I was making the right decision. After being represented by Zeshan I can say that I trust in his ability and character and would wholeheartedly recommend his services to friends and family without question.

Sincere and Responsible Attorney

I feel grateful that my husband I contacted Zeshan for our bankruptcy case. Before we asked him to take care of our case we had a conference. He reviewed our situations and explained a few different possible solutions with good information that only lawyers who are specialized in this field could p...rovide. After all my husband and I decided to file bankruptcy. From the beginning to the end he was always responsive to our inquiries. He is sincere and patient that we truly appreciate that he was there for us to go through the stressful time. He informed us what to expect for the every step in the process. When you pick a lawyer for any reason it is best to hire one who is not only knowledgeable but also responsive to your calls or emails. Zeshan is that kind of attorney, and we highly recommend his service.

We highly recommend Zeshan!

As we went through the bankruptcy process, we found Zeshan not only to be highly professional, very knowledgeable, and quick to respond to our various questions, but also genuinely caring, patient, and kind. He would be the first person we would call if we were ever in need of legal assistance in Sea...ttle again, and we would happily recommend Zeshan to our closest family and friends.

Humane and Knowledgeable Attorney

Anne and I are happy to write this recommendation for our attorney, Zeshan Khan, J.D., LL.D. Our home was about to be sold because of late payments due to our store closing and medical bills, a common problem in current America. We turned to Zeshan, a neighbor who I knew from our business. He took... time to brief us on the bankruptcy process and all it particulars using plain language and charts. After thinking about it, we hired Zeshan to represent us. Throughout the long and nervous process Zeshan personally: 1. Held our hand when needed 2. Had a positive and pleasant demeanor 3. Rapidly responded to phone and email inquiries. In dealing with the legal system, Zeshan: 1. Helped us decide whether we should file under Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 2. Was frank and up-front with the facts and chances of Plan acceptance 3. Knows the bankruptcy legal system 4. Is able to work the system 5. Helped us develop our answers to the questionnaires from the court 6. Actively anticipated and dealt with potential outside objectors to our Plan Zeshan was an advocate for us at all time, for which we are grateful. Sincerely, Anne Michael

"Zeshan is a fantastic attorney. He is bright, thoughtful, creative, and, most importantly, respectful and empathetic to his clients and opposing counsel. Zeshan isn't one of the many caustic family law attorneys merely seeking to fight for the sake of it or the one-up the opposing party--instead, he seeks resourceful and productive solutions to help the parties move forward. I highly recommend Zeshan."
