Job Well Done!

It is not easy when your reputation and career are at stake. Emil was the calm voice that guided me through the process. He recognized and analyzed the situation even before I fully understood the trouble I was in. He chose the strategies that best suited my circumstances. I am grateful that the out...come favored our position, but regardless of the result, I hold the highest recommendation for Emil Ali.

USPTO and CA BAR Application Issues

Emil is a true professional with a broad range of expertise. The issue at hand was complex and had me feeling overwhelmed, but Emil quickly reassured me that things weren’t as bad as I feared. Even though all our interactions were remote, I always felt I had his full attention. He listened carefully,... answered all my questions thoroughly, and made it clear from our very first call that he wasn’t focused on billable hours—he genuinely cared about achieving the best outcome for me. Emil brings humanity to the legal profession. After successfully resolving one issue, I am hiring him again for another.

Assisted when no one else would!

A few years ago I had a disk replacement in my neck. This surgeon was widely known and had a well versed staff. Not long after the surgery I was advised the insurance claim had been denied. I tried everything to solve the problem. The 30K bill was now mine. I needed counsel. Few lawyers want to g...et involved in a small claim such as this, but Emil did. He took on a huge insurance company and my employer, because my company was self insured. After months of terrible, unprofessional treatment, Emil’s perseverance and skill won out. The bill was paid. Emil took the time to listen to me and understand the problem. I would refer him to anyone needing legal advise.

Case against landlord; Very reliable lawyer

Hired Emil to help in a case against my landlord who unjustly kept my security deposit. He was very helpful, available, and explained things well. I've never sued someone so was naturally anxious about the process but Emil was great about keeping informed throughout. I'd definitely use him again.

Ethics and professional responsibility lawyer | Oct 01

Relationship: Friend

"Emil is a great attorney and a respected authority in his practice areas. I have known Emil for many years and I can say without a doubt that he cares deeply about his cases and is one of the hardest working people I know. He is also extremely intelligent and has a very analytical but practical approach to law practice. He is also client focused and responsive, two qualities that are many times lacking in the legal profession. Emil is my go to authority on many legal questions I have or that arise in my practice, and he is often the first person I call if I have a question pertaining to ethics or professional responsibility. His advice has always been tremendously helpful and his guidance has been invaluable. He is a talented litigator whose love for the law extends to his work as a lecturer in professional ethics. He has my full endorsement."
