Estate Planning

Dear Mr. Zakhem,

"I just wanted to let you know how much my family and I appreciate your hard work and dedication. My words cannot explain how at ease my wife and I feel knowing that all of our estate planning, wills and trust accounts have been set up properly. All of my properties have been protected and set up in such a way that is best for tax reasons as well as insulation against unknown future litigation.

The undying effort and personal commitment of you and your staff has not and will not go unnoticed. Every time I have asked for you personally or any individual member of your staff I have gotten an immediate sense of personal attention. I know from previous experience with law firms and attorneys, this is rarely the case.

With regard to my business representation, your expert knowledge of every issue that I have brought to you has amazed me. From State and Federal Department of Labor issues for my business, State and Federal No-Call issues, Better Business Bureau and Attorney General issues to Real Estate property claims as well as all of the personal and financial advice that will bring me and my family safely into the future.

I would like to offer my sincere appreciation to you and your staff for all of your efforts and victories on my behalf. Please do not hesitate to let me know if there is anything I can do for you in the future."

General Law

"I have known Mr. John Zakhem, Esq., since before he joined the Bar Association, and I have used his legal services and the services of his firm since he opened his practice after a stunning period as an Assistant District Attorney for the City of Denver, CO.

He has handled extremely broad and complex legal matters for me and my various businesses with extreme diligence and aplomb. He has the ability to be a first class negotiator in one case and a true ‘junk yard dog’ in the next moment defending my interests.

He and his partner Mr. Atherton have populated their firm with exceptional legal talent resulting in the Ultimate Go To – Legal Team in the Denver legal market. For me and my wife and children, the firm has satisfactorily handled; estate planning, traffic issues, corporate ownership and complex business and securities legal matters as both Prosecutors and Defense counsel.

I was the #2 Senior ‘Supervisory Liquidation Specialist in Charge’ of the Denver Office of the FDIC during the S&L crisis ’89 – 91 with a staff of 32 attorneys reporting to my office. I have extensive experience in managing and evaluating attorneys in the daily practice of law. Based on that experience I have to rate the Zakhem Law Law firm as one of the top four law firms in Denver, CO.

From a personal standpoint, I cannot recommend a better firm; for developing a long term relationship that will standby you in the bad times as well as the good times, who will seek out the expertise needed if they do not have it in house, who get the job done on time and most importantly bill accurately but of even more importance, bill fairly.

I am available at any time, at the number listed above, to affirm these statements upon request and/or personally assure you that the selection of Zakhem Law as your legal matter advisors is a sound decision, please feel free to call. "

"I have known John Zakhem and the legal staff for Zakhem Law since their inception and have been thoroughly pleased with their counsel. The aspects that I truly appreciate about the firm has been both their responsiveness to my needs as well as their desire to make sure that I receive full legal satisfaction. They have always spent as much time as I have felt necessary to fully analyze my needs and then plan the appropriate legal response. I also appreciate that they always come into situations with an attitude that they can provide me with results that will meet or exceed my satisfaction. I can't say enough about Zakhem  Atherton and highly recommend this legal team! "

DUI Defense

"When I went into court on my third alcohol related driving offense the judge told me he was prepared to sentence me to a year of jail time. Matt helped me make the changes in my life that helped convince the court that a jail sentence wouldn’t benefit me or the court.

When Matt got done telling the court my story, the judge sentenced me to probation and a short in-home detention sentence. Before we left, the judge told me I needed to thank my attorney because he had planned to sentence me to a year in jail. That I am free today is a credit to Zakhem Law, LLC, and the changes they encouraged me to make in my life."
