A Great Lawyer, A Better Man!

I hired Zaki in may of 2012 to handle my criminal case. The court proceedings were continued and delayed so many times that the case is just now finally over, with the defendant being found not guilty, might I add. I work out of town and had to travel several hundred miles in most cases to return fo...r my court appearances. Zaki and his staff were great about keeping me informed and up to date on changes being made so that I did not have to miss work or travel without reason. They also made me feel very comfortable about my situation always showing full confidence in myself and my side of the story. Intelligent, Charismatic, Prepared, and Caring are all words that I would use to describe Zaki, however, once inside the courtroom there is only one way to describe him and that is PROFESSIONAL! No matter what the Prosecutor did (i.e. not remembering how she made the projector work during the defense's first witness.) Zaki smiled and remain professional. Throughout the trial my Mother was in the courtroom and Zaki could tell that she was worried. He constantly kept checking on Her and reminding Her that everything was going to be ok. Then once everything was final and we had time to relax and enjoy life again Zaki gave a courtesy call to my Mother just to make sure she was doing ok. No obligation, no incentive just good old fashion caring and concern for another human being. Would I recommend this Lawyer to a friend? YES! But most importantly if I ever again find myself on the wrong side of a bad situation I will hire him! (Although I really hope there is never a reason for me to need his services again!)

Hung Jury

Zaki was appointed as my public defender. He kept me well informed about the case as we prepared for jury trial. He did a very good job in the court room. Took my case seriously. I was facing 20 years and Zaki worked hard and we received a hung jury- 11 not guilty 1 guilty.

Restraining order case

Zaki, was very detailed on my case and he understood what and how to address the courts.

EXCELLENT ATTORNEY

I was charge with a DUI. Zaki got me through that as quick and painless as possible.Six months later I was charded with a DUI and A Probation violation. He was able to get the courtto let me post bail and eventually drop the probation violation. The DUI charge and the HTV was a little tougher. Zaki ...gave me a big list of things to do and told me to get them completed and he would be able to get my license back. It took eighteen month and a lot of work but today I have a valid license.I was told by three other attorneys that it could not be done. I honestly believe that no one but Zaki Ali could have got this done. His hard work and knowledge and determination to get this done for me was unbelievable.

Integrity, Honesty and a Good man

I met with Zaki in march of 2011, to discuss a drivers license which had been suspended since 1996 (HTV). I was told by a Judge that I would never again be allowed to drive. After meeting with Zaki and he had an opportunity to examine all of the facts, he took my case. He simply gave me a price and s...aid he could do this, and it should be simple. Little did I know. There was an obsticle at every turn. The BMV had changes in requirements, the court lost paperwork it was honestly a nightmare. A lesser attorney, or a man with questionable resolve, would have quit and wished me well, I know that because it has happened. Zaki did not, he saw it through to the end. Today, fifteen months later, I am a licensed driver who will always be grateful to Zaki and Julie, for their persistance, professionalism and integrity. I did work very hard to get where I am at, but if someone doesn't believe that you have made the necessary changes, and is willing to go to bat for you, it sometimes seems as though it was a waste of time. I know that Zaki is an outstanding attorney, no question about that, but to me more importantly he is a better man. Zaki, I thank you, and just for the record you would have made one outstanding Marine Corps Officer.
