RIVERSIDE, Calif., Sept. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Attorney Zulu Ali, founder and principal of the Law Offices of Zulu Ali & Associates, LLP (https://zulualilaw.com), one of the Top Five Black Law Firms in the nation, as featured in Blackstar publication (https://blackstarsonline.com/here-are-five-leading-black-owned-law-firms-that-are-shaping-opportunities-for-americans/), and the largest Black-owned law firm in California’s Inland Empire.
In 2007, Ali opened the Law Offices of Zulu Ali & Associates, LLP with a vision inspired by great African American attorneys such as Avon Williams, Z. Alezander Looby, Thurgood Marshall and Johnnie Cochrane. Attorney Ali states: “Their legacy was first instilled in me as a child by my grandfather, who was a janitor that cleaned law offices. Both he and my grandmother saw legendary attorney Avon Williams as a symbol of hope and pride for black people who have often been subjected to injustice in this society. The vision of these great men and many like them is often forgotten, but I make it my mission to carry on their spirit as much as possible. I would not dare compare myself to these great champions of justice, I just hope that I can continue to do all I can to keep their spirit alive and do the best I can to get justice for those who are often denied. My grandfather cleaned law offices; now I own a leading law office. I am proud, blessed, and thankful to God, my family, and those great legal giants that made it possible; and a special thanks to my late mother, Linda Reese Harvey, who pushed me and made me understand that, with hard work and prayer, anything is possible.”
A former police officer and U.S. Marine Corps veteran, Attorney Ali earned a juris doctorate in law (J.D.) from Trinity International University; a degree with a focus on African studies from Regents College through a consortium with Tennessee State University; and is a doctoral candidate (D.B.A.) researching pan-African and Black social entrepreneurship at California Southern University.
