A GREAT defense attorney

You are in good hands with this guy. He's honest, he's personable, he knows what to look for in your case and more than anything, he has a wealth of experience in defense. He's well connected in the Indianapolis area and he'll get the job done. Don't hesitate to contact Zaki.

Zaki Ali, A simple Thank You isn't enough. You saved my life/career.

Leading up to this point, I'd never put myself in a situation that required the need for an attorney. For me, one brief lapse in judgment led to an OWI arrest and here I was, in pure panic. I initially contacted two attorneys in my area and with hesitation, selected one to represent me. I felt my ...original selection lacked the communication I needed to truly feel comfortable, it might have been just another case for him, but to me, this was everything. At this point, I was randomly introduced to Zaki Ali and everything immediately turned around. From the moment I was introduced, I was sold. First obvious observation, Zaki has personality. He may be high profile, but he is still very approachable. He truly cares for his clients and his passion is undeniable. Which is unfortunately rare these days. I felt fortunate to have him on my side, even before an outcome was reached. My day in court finally arrived and I was a nervous wreck. My profession depends on a valid driver's license and I entered court facing an OWI charge. My hope was lost and I feared not only losing my job, but being unemployable and was told by many that a career change was most likely necessary. Everything I worked for was about to be taken from me because of one poor decision, it was something I'd have to live with. Then Zaki stepped up to the plate and fought for me. With his experience, overall understanding of the judicial process and most importantly, his belief in me…he pulled off a miracle. As I mentioned, I was facing an OWI charge and somehow, he got the charge reduced to Public Intoxication. I can't express in words what this means to me. I'm not going to lose my job and I won't be haunted by one poor decision for the rest of my life. I get a true second chance. Without Zaki Ali taking my case, I'd be unemployed and in a very rough spot. He saved my career...and for that, I can't thank him enough. This entire process was eye opening and my lesson has been learned. I know I'll now come out of this a better person and I just hope this review will allow someone else to have the confidence and trust Zaki to represent them. You won't find better. Bottom line, Zaki is an absolute winner and his methods have been proven time and time again. Pick up the phone and give him a call, it's the best move you can possibly make.

Man behind the curtain

I will never regret the day that I met with Zaki for legal advise. He became my Wizard of Oz, able to perform miracles. I came to him as a hysterical, scared, hot mess. I was beyond inconsolable and he put me at ease with his whole demeanor of "I am great and powerful" . He showed me immediately... that he knew what to do and how to get us there. Not only that, but he explained what I needed to do that night, not just during the rough year ahead. He truly cared for me not just my retainer. In fact he would not take my case unless I agreed to get help dealing with what was happening to me. The whole process was terrifying, but no phone call, text, or email went unanswered. If I had a question in the middle of the night or morning I was able to ask it and be answered. If he wasn't able to get back with me, his wonderful assistant Julie would. They would explain things to me, not just tell me or let me find out another way. I felt involved in what was essential one of the worst times in my life. With my situation, he was able to use his knowledge, expertise, and reputation as one of the best attorneys in Indiana, to help me. He worked tirelessly with opposing council, to get a better outcome than I believed possible. I will never regret my decision to work with Mr. Zaki Ali. He truly is the man behind the curtain.

Best lawyer in Indiana Hands Down!!!!!

Ok I was in a bad situation where I was wrongfully charged with 2 felonies.. I went to one lawyer and hired him straight away because I was upset and worried about my job and future.. Found about a month later the lawyer I just paid was a POS lawyer and fired him in person.. So I then looked all thro...ugh out Indiana.. Read reviews,asked all around face 2 face with people and even other lawyers.. All things pointed to Zaki Ali.. He heard me out,I explained my case. He told me no way! Im getting these charges dropped..Guess what? He did just that!! I didn't even see a court room NOT ONE TIME.. He's a real good guy all around.. I have told everyone I know about him.. I will continue for the rest of my life.. This man made sure I keep my career,and stayed with my family.. On top of that keep this wrongfully accused felonies off my record.. Thank you Zaki and your Staff

Couldn't have asked for more.

From my first meeting with Mr. Ali I was confident that my case was in good hands. Every meeting after that reinforced this idea. Mr. Ali was mindful of my worries, feelings and over all state of mind. I also knew from the beginning he was someone I could trust. Mr. Ali advised me on what would be b...est for me to do between my initial hearing and my final hearing. I was impressed with the way he presented to the judge, and prosecution my past, present and future. He instilled confidence about me in court. After Mr. Ali's address to the court the prosecuting attorney referred to me as "refreshing'" I compared the outcome of my case with several others with the exact same factors , and my sentencing was by far more positive. I believe between Mr. Ali's strength in the court room, his down-to-earth nature outside the court room, paired with his awesome staff I couldn't not have found a better attorney. Thank you Mr. Ali, Julie, and Crystal.
