I am passionate about helping people formulate plans to reach their goals.  Since 1999, I have been involved in that process with hundreds of clients as a professional in the financial services industry.  In 2011, I enrolled at Arizona Summit Law School. It wasn’t always easy balancing family and school while maintaining a growing financial services company.  But with the help of my wife and others, along with some divine intervention, I graduated with honors (summa cum laude) in 2014.  The rest is history.  Now I spend my time helping individuals and families create and maintain solid estate plans – truly an important work!. On a more personal note:. Before becoming an attorney, I grew up in Scottsdale, went to Horizon High School, and then joined the United States Marine Corps Reserves.  Following my active duty training, I went on a 2 year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and later graduated from Arizona State University – go Sun Devils!  Along the way I moved to Mesa where I met my sweetheart – Jennifer.  We were married in 1999 and have since been blessed with 6 children (4 boys & 2 girls)!  So when I’m not at work, I’m usually playing with my family, fixing up the house, or playing basketball.

Education and law are two of my greatest passions. Throughout my career, I’ve committed myself to educating others about their rights and assisting them with their legal needs.. After obtaining my undergraduate degree from the University of Florida, I attended Harvard University’s Graduate School of Education where I studied educational pedagogy and learned how to effectively convey information to diverse groups of people. I then went on to study law and legal advocacy at the University of California, Berkeley (Boalt Hall) where I was a member of the California Law Review. After law school I was privileged to clerk for renowned civil rights jurist, Judge Damon J. Keith on the United States Court of Appeals and to work at one of Arizona’s premier law firms, Osborn Maledon. At the firm, I represented businesses and governmental entities in a variety of complex litigation matters in state and federal court.. In 2015, I founded Yaser Ali Law in order to focus on serving the needs of individuals, families, and small businesses. My exceptional training has enabled me to better understand my clients’ unique personal situations, to convey complex concepts in simple terms, and to aggressively advocate on my clients’ behalf.
