LL.M., Case Western Reserve University School of Law • Admitted 2002
"My goal is simple: to make sure every client has the most powerful legal representation possible, regardless of the complexity of their case."
Zouhoor Wani earned an LL.M. from Case Western Reserve University School of Law. From his earliest days as a practicing attorney, he demonstrated an uncommon ability to navigate the intersection of law, culture, and community that defines New York City's legal landscape.
Admitted to the New York State Bar in 2002, he established ZA Wani Law in Jamaica, Queens — planting roots in one of the most diverse neighborhoods in the world, and building the firm around the principle that every person deserves elite legal representation regardless of background or circumstance.
"The greatest privilege of this work is that I get to stand between my clients and the full force of the legal system — and make sure it treats them fairly."
Over three decades, Zouhoor Wani has handled thousands of cases spanning civil litigation, immigration, real estate, and criminal defense. His client base reflects the rich tapestry of Queens: families navigating the immigration system, small business owners in property disputes, individuals facing criminal charges, and communities seeking justice in civil courts.
He has built a reputation not only for legal acumen, but for the deeply personal attention he brings to every case. Clients frequently describe working with him as a turning point — the moment they felt truly represented rather than simply processed.
One of the firm's most distinctive qualities is its ability to serve clients in English, Urdu/Hindi, Punjabi, and Bengali — languages spoken by hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers who too often struggle to access legal representation in their native tongue. This linguistic reach is not incidental; it reflects a deliberate commitment to serving communities that are frequently underserved by the legal system.
Virtual consultations are available via WhatsApp, FaceTime, or Zoom, ensuring that geography and mobility are never barriers to quality legal counsel.
At ZA Wani Law, every client is treated as an individual with a unique story — not a case number. The firm invests the time to understand not just the legal facts, but the human stakes behind each matter. Whether defending a family's right to stay in the country, helping a business owner navigate a complex closing, or fighting for a wrongfully convicted client's freedom, the approach is always the same: relentless preparation, honest counsel, and fierce advocacy.
