Custody battle with relocation
Win! Win! Win! I went through a very stressful and complex custody battle with the emphasis of relocation for almost 2 years. The pain both emotional and physical I endured throughout the battle was nothing compared to the justice I received with Mr Khan’s representation. From written arguments s...

Excellent
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...

Grateful to have been referred
After being dropped from 2 other attorneys, I was referred to Zeshan for my divorce/custody case in 2007-2009; I first met with Mr Khan just a few weeks before my case went to trial April 2009, I was desperate for help. At first, he seemed professional; then very personable, knowledgeable and helpfu...

Terrible Attorney - Please don't hire and waste your money
Disappointing Experience with Zeshan - Ineffective Legal Advice and Unprofessional Behavior In early 2022, I made the unfortunate decision to hire Zeshan as my attorney to modify a parenting plan due to relocation. I felt compelled to share my experience so that others can be aware of the issues I...
Dear Former Client: I’m sorry that our relationship has deteriorated to the point where you have undertaken a nearly year-long campaign against me after repeated efforts to disparage me (two bar complaints that were immediately dismissed and multiple negative reviews on several sites). After many months of your name-calling and threats, the only “abuse” I showed you was no longer suffering your demeaning insults and withdrawing from your case. I believe the many dozens of other reviews from clients and respected opinions on Avvo are a better testament to my skills as an attorney than your ongoing efforts at spiteful bullying. I am sorry our relationship has collapsed to this point, but my main error was not withdrawing from your case sooner. Regardless, I wish you luck in your future endeavors.
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Zeshan is committed to professional excellence and dedicated to getting results for his clients. I highly recommend him for his skill and honesty."
"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!"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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. "
