The Real Ali Zaidi Should Be Disbarred
The Real Ali Zaidi Should Be Disbarred
Michigan lawyer Ali Zaidi may face disbarment after making false claims about his employment history and credentials in both his resume and online. Zaidi's resume included many outlandish and embellished assertions, including that he was part of a U.S. field hockey team which participated in the 1996 Olympic games. He held several fictitious positions at law firms and even falsely indicated he held a Master of Liberal Arts from Harvard University. Zaidi also claimed he was admitted to practice law in Connecticut and Missouri, which was not the case.Many of the Michigan attorney's claims weren't entirely untrue, according to Ali Zaidi, but rather, works in progress that had yet to come to fruition, or half truths. Zaidi created a website his law firm Great Lakes Legal Group, which included statements that Zaidi worked with attorneys nationwide. Turns out, that simply wasn't the case. No such Legal Group exists. Zaidi admitted Great Lakes was simply an idea of his that had yet to be.
