About Zahra
Biography
I focus my practice on white collar criminal matters, corporate internal investigations, qui tam/false claims act/whistleblower suits, and complex civil litigation. Before joining Krevolin & Horst, I served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia for 8 years. My role as a federal prosecutor allowed me to gain extensive experience in conducting grand jury investigations, trials and prosecuting cases involving fraud, public corruption, money laundering, violent crimes, child exploitation, and immigration. I have also briefed and argued cases before the Eleventh Circuit. Prior to serving as a federal prosecutor, I served as the Deputy Executive Counsel to Georgia Governor Roy Barnes, was an associate at Sutherland, and clerked for the Honorable J.L. Edmondson, Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals.
