Nothing Good to Say

Worst criminal /liar/attorney in the Los Angeles area. I do not recommend he is a con man specializing in separating you from your money.

Destroyed Our Lives Poor Representation

He destroyed our life in the most ridiculous and indecent way. Be aware that the fact that he have so many good reviews is because they make you do it while you're in his office on the first visit, after you pay them you are on your own. How I know? Because I was one. My family is destroyed and I wil...l always feel guilty because I was the one with the resolution to hire him. I can said so many things I will eventually do. Right now I know this is David against Golliat and what can we do......just hope to find justice in some other ways, while they do their game of playing with people's life. Ali Ziai is not recommended he is horrible.

Dishonest DUI attorney

Don’t Hire Him for DUI, just Hire Attorney who is telling you the Truth not the thing you like to hear. He won’t do anything in your Favor, he does everything for his Reputation in Courtroom. Dishonest Attorney who is not in your side.

Worst Experience Not Recommended

Ali Zia represented my mother for an elder abuse restraining order and he FAILED miserably. He is a one man show with nobody to rely on but himself. I remember he even complained about having to make copies because it took so much of his time and his old printer wouldn't work half the time. He cla...imed he was friends with the judge and that her case was a slam dunk. He said he worked 12+ years with the judge at the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office and that he was very close friends and they hung out all the time. That of course was a lie as the judge repeatedly struck him down in court and made him look like a fool. He even went as far as to charge thousands of dollars for court transcripts and then refused to share them. When my mother lost the restraining order he blamed everyone but himself and even started to harass me by email. His REPRESENTATION IS A JOKE and when in court he looked confused, fumbled with paperwork, and didn't know how to object or handle himself professionally. The defendants attorney ran circles around him. My mother lost her case because she relied on Ali Zia. I wouldn't recommend Ali to my worst enemy. Ali Zia CANNOT BE TRUSTED. He doesn't understand the meaning of client confidentially and will share personal and confidential information if you don't pay him on time and will quit without notice. Ali has very little experience outside of being a paper pusher at the District Attorney's office. Ali is not even a certified family law specialist yet he practices family law. He may have only 2-3 years of real court room experience which is not much. Again, I wouldn't recommend Ali to my worst enemy.
