Zara Ali

I hired attorney Zara Ali-a one-person law practice-and was the client in the case. Zara's mistreatment of my case was appalling: indifference, laziness, incompetence, greed, and zero result at the end. When I hired her, she indicated to have handled a similar case in India such that things will go s...moothly. I paid her but she did *absolutely nothing*. * When I alerted Zara to many mistakes in the citation issued by the clerk's office, she 'claimed' to not have received the citation from the court. The citation had to be redone, doubling the cost and time. * For three months, there was no sign of the citation being served, but Zara cared less to follow up with the court. I stepped in, got the registered mail number, filed a case with USPS, contacted the foreign country postal service, and got Zara documented evidence (including an email from postal service staff) that the court documents were delivered to the defendant's brother. Nevertheless, she did not bother to act on the material, file it with the court, and check if service of process is deemed perfected. * Zara was supposed to actively invoke the different “service of process” options as laid out in the law, but she never bothered. I lost nine months caused by Zara's shocking passivity. I stepped in again, searched the internet for alternative service of process, found a court order that I adapted to my case, prepared the "Motion for Substitute Service" and emailed it for the attorney to finalize and file with the court. She requested extra money for the DHL package, which I paid. She posted the DHL package but did not return my requests to share the delivery number. After three weeks-presumably through a mistake she made-the package got delivered to some unknown person. She now got me involved to do her work. I stepped in again, made contact with DHL (U.S.A. and foreign), got the package recovered, and advised DHL on delivery. As the defendant refused to accept the package from DHL, I asked Zara to schedule a court meeting and seek an order to deliver the package to the defendant's family business. I prepared a detailed motion with evidence from DHL and emailed the documents as PDF to Zara. She did not bother to answer my emails. Ultimately, the night before her scheduled court meeting, she electronically filed with the court "AS IS" the PDF documents I emailed. This is punishable as the documents-even though carrying her digital signature-were 100% prepared by me and were sent to Zara to review and adapt NOT to file with the court as her work. While I awaited the court order allowing delivery of the DHL package to the defendant's family business, Zara emailed saying that I need to appear in court to testify. To run loose, she had herself made that specific request to the judge. I answered: "Testify about what when the court papers were never served and the defendant is outside the U.S.?" * Ultimately, I asked Zara to close the case and refund me. She did not answer. Again, I searched the internet, found the appropriate filings, prepared the "Notice of Nonsuit without Prejudice" and the corresponding "Court Order", and emailed them. Zara adapted the two documents slightly and filed with the court. I waited 15 days with no news. I emailed her: "Where is my copy of the court order signed by the judge?" Only then, she emailed the Court Order which she had already received from the court 9 days earlier. * I emailed Zara again requesting a refund. She never answered. Zara Ali is a failure. Zara had instant and ready-made excuses to defend her failures, always putting words in the judge's mouth, which is a serious abuse. I paid her but she accomplished nothing at all; it was me who pushed her and did her work all the way. She is not even worth the one star; do NOT hire her. I am hoping that the authorities and the State Bar of Texas look into this case and consider an appropriate disciplinary measure based on the outcome of a thorough, impartial review.

Well applying for a spouse visa can be a pretty daunting journey and incase of US Visa it's dreadful.So the key is to choose the best legal help to expedite the process to be with your partner.In our case we got lucky to get in touch with Zara.I remember that I had so many reservations when my husban...d went to visit her office for the first time but she was so helpful with all our queries no matter how absurd and petty.It was then that we decided to go with her office and no doubt it was the right decision that we made.During the course of our visa journey she was fully involved and she made sure that everything was done properly.She made sure all my documentation was complete before applying for petition which is quite impressive since US immigration requires the applicant to have all the necessary documents and sometimes even more but she made sure that we had everything ahead of time.Thanks to her help that our whole process went smoothly and I am here in US today with my husband.So if anyone out there is applying for US Visa especially Pakistanis then I would say Zara Ali is your best option.

I was looking for a Family Law Attorney regarding the closure of a child support case and I found Ms. Zara Ali on Google search. Her ratings were all five stars and that really impressed me. She gave me a free consultation that was very informative. She gave me sound advice regarding the legal pro...cesses and procedures in Texas courts. She educated me on what to expect, what the like outcome would be, and then she achieved it. She kept me up to date about what was going on with my case every step of the way and communicated things to me in a timely manner. I am highly satisfied with my experience. She made a difficult time a little easier and less stressful, which I greatly appreciate. She is a thorough professional with a calm and empathetic demeanor. She is a very friendly person with a very beautiful smile. She is definitely a great, caring, kind, warm, compassionate, personable, diligent, trustworthy, ethical, supportive, knowledgeable, and professional attorney, and her rates are very reasonable. She doesn’t Nickel and Dime her clients. I wish there 10,000 stars instead of just 5 stars for her. I will never go to another lawyer again for my legal needs because I have found the very best attorney in the Houston area. I highly recommend Ms. Zara Ali for legal services. You will not be disappointed!
