- Estate Planning

* Commercial Litigation

The business attorneys at Zakhem Law handle all types of business and commercial litigation. We have helped countless Colorado businesses succeed at handling potentially damaging claims. Conflict resolution is our expertise - we foster alternative dispute resolution but are also well prepared to step into the courtroom if necessary. The arena of commercial litigation is unique and requires a high degree of skill, distinct knowledge of business law, and creative maneuvering.

* Civil Litigation

At the Denver law firm of Zakhem Law, we specialize in civil litigation and help private individuals and organizations solve non-criminal disputes. The civil litigation process can be lengthy and complex. Whether you are on the side of defense or prosecution, you will need an attorney who can build a strong case through diligent research, and use it to present compelling arguments. If you suffered physical or financial harm and you need a civil litigation expert, consider hiring the Colorado firm with a record of strong courtroom representation.

* Insurance Disputes and Liability

Insurance companies are in the business of providing protection and peace of mind, so why is it so often a struggle to get them to pay out? It is no secret that insurance companies prosper most when they can hold onto their reserves and avoid large payouts. They make money through interest on their investments. Insurance adjusters are trained and paid to persuade you to take as little as possible. If you are dealing with a difficult insurance adjuster and you know something is just not right, we can help.

* Constitutional Law

Constitutional rights are constantly under scrutiny in the justice system. People who have suffered physical, emotional or financial harm are afforded the right to speak up about injustice and to seek restitution. On the other side, both companies and individuals charged with having inflicted such harm have the right to a vigorous and thorough defense. Our experienced constitutional rights lawyers will work tirelessly to protect your rights. Whether you are working to expose unfair discrimination or looking to fight baseless accusations, you will receive devoted, focused attention from our legal professionals.

* Contract Disputes

A contract is more than a promise; it's a legal obligation. Entering into a contract requires comprehension of its language, and knowledge of each party's rights. The attorney team of Zakhem Law has been interpreting and evaluating contracts using modern contract laws for many years. We give those contracts clear and understandable provisions. If you need to put a relationship or mutual agreement in writing, make sure that document clearly states your rights as well as your obligations.

* Securities Litigation

The laws governing sale of securities are explicit, and the penalties for securities fraud can be severe and financially taxing. Stockbroker fraud is any inappropriate or unfair activity on the part of a stockbroker that results in a loss of client assets. Our attorneys will advise you on how best to proceed and how to prepare for binding arbitration. We have studied securities law for years and are well versed on the current statutes governing trading activity.

* Criminal Defense

The law firm of Zakhem Law represents individuals accused of crimes in Denver and surrounding areas. Our defense tactics are the result of many combined years of criminal defense and prosecutorial experience. A criminal conviction can mean the end of your career, limited freedom, and financial devastation. Your criminal defense team will work diligently to build a strong defense against the state and defeat weak arguments presented by the prosecution.

* Alternative Dispute Resolution

Alternative dispute resolution, or ADR, allows clients to opt for low-profile solutions using compromise and negotiation. Choosing ADR as opposed to litigation is often more cost-effective, but it may not be the best method if neither party is willing to compromise. The attorneys at the law firm of Zakhem Law, LLC are ADR specialists, and we understand how to use it to reach acceptable legal solutions. If your case isn't suitable for ADR, we have the expertise to take it to court.
