Zara Ali

Mrs Zara Ali is very efficient, thorough, responsive, great communicator, and truly represents best interests of her clients. She helped me and my husband every step of our immigration case as well as other legal questions and matters. Besides being an outstanding professional, she also has very nice... personality and it is simply a pleasure to work with her! Our family highly recommends Zara and we proudly call her our family lawyer.

It was really frustrating and stressful to contact the USCIS office for many times in two years regarding my N-400 case for citizenship. I exhausted all possible ways to contact the USCIS to get an answer that why my case had such a long delay. Eventually, I found out that the only remedy is acti...ng through a good lawyer to resolve the issue. I’m so happy that my friends introduced me to Zara Ali and her law firm. Zara is an honest, modest, patient, and fair lawyer, and she is really eager to help the clients. I am just thankful to her, and recommend others that don’t hesitate to contact her for consulting and resolving your official issues. God bless you Zara!

Zara helped my wife and I though the process to get my wife’s fiancé visa and later on her green card. She is very knowledgeable about the process, and helped us not only be ready but feel ready each step of the way. She kept us informed on what to documents prepare and what to expect. Overall I am v...ery satisfied with the experience and happy to have had her on our team.

Zara is an incredibly professional, dedicated and extremely personable with an outstanding skills and perfect knowledge about immigration cases. Zara helped me file for permenant residents status (green card). Her efforts in my case went above and beyond. She kept me updated at all times and explaine...d all of the possible outcomes. I consider myself blessed and lucky to have Zara throughout my case, representing me at my interview which was a big relief for me. Prior to the interview, Zara spent significant time with my wife and I to prepare us for the interview. During the time period of my case, if I have had any questions or queries, I would contact Zara without any hesitation. With being very busy, she was very responsive, communicative and efficient. I was recently granted my permenant resident status. I can highly recommend ZARA ALI to handle your immigration cases. Thank you Zara for everything you did for us with great passion and high energy!

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.
