Recently got my immigration case done by zara ali one of the most humble and very helpful attorney i have come across would recommend her services to everyone who needs in immigration :)

We recently adopted two children from Thailand, a Niece and Nephew; we selected Zara Ali to represent us legally and help with all the adoption proceedings. Zara was awesome! As a Family / Immigration Lawyer, She was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and timely in all our correspondences. Adoptions require an immense amount of paperwork and Zara helped us through it step by step until at last, we obtained the signed adoption decree by the court. Thank you Zara for being there for us and making our adoption experience as easy as possible. I would recommend Zara to anyone looking for legal assistance with immigration, adoptions or family needs.

Zara is very professional, detailed and very well informed. She's very nice and goes out of her way to make sure her clients are confident in the process. I used her service because of her reviews and I was glad I did. :)

I just want to share my experience working with Attorney Zara Ali. She was so attentive from the start and told me exactly what I would be looking at regarding my case. Some attorneys out there tell you what you want to hear and then when they take on your case you end up spending extra money for no reason without getting a true result. Miss Ali guided me through out and made a very stressful time in my life quite smooth. I highly recommend her and will tell everyone that if you need a reliable, thorough and professional lawyer that they should hire Miss Ali. Thank you!

HIRE Scott Callahan. Don't think twice about it. He will consult with you, educate you and FIGHT for you. He is a fierce advocate. Insurance companies want to take advantage of people when they are in accidents with one of their clients. Even when the accidents are 100% their clients fault. The best thing I did was find Mr. Callahan's website and emailed them. Scott and his team are professional, compassionate, vigilant, and intelligent. He is straight-forward and keeps an open line of communication. We never felt out of loop or kept in the dark about any aspect of our case. He fought for us and didn't let us get taken advantage of in our negotiations with the insurance companies legal team. He takes extra care to prepare you for what is happening next with every aspect of your case. Hiring Scott Callahan was the best decision for helping us deal with an insurance company that was taking advantage of us. We are delighted with his hard work and concern for us and with the outcome of our case.

Mr. Pouncil represented me during a case that I was struggling with. He's very professional and not afraid to shoot straight. As long as I followed his advice and did what he recommended everything worked out. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Worked on two cases for me, and both came out the way I wanted them to. Highly recommend , work great as a team as well!

Hiring Cortez Pouncil as my attorney was the best decision I ever made. He was very knowledgeable about my case. He gave great detail on different options that were available. He was easy to work with being available and calling back in a timely manner. He fought for everything I wanted in my case. I would definitely use him again if needed & strongly would refer everyone to him. Thank you for your great support and service.

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 smoothly. 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 failed at her basic duty. Zara had instant and ready-made excuses to defend her failures, always putting words in the judge's mouth, which is a serious abuse that must be investigated. 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 following a thorough review.

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 explained 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!
