Origin
Zayed Al-Sayyed Phoenix: From Accounting and Tax to Immigration Law
Zayed Al-Sayyed earned a B.S. in Accounting magna cum laude in 2009 and a Master’s in Taxation summa cum laude in 2010, both from Arizona State University, before earning his J.D. cum laude in the top 10% of his class from Phoenix School of Law. While in law school, he served as an editor and member of the Phoenix Law Review, was a delegate for the Student Bar Association, and performed more than 150 hours of pro bono work. He founded his own practice after law school.
Practice
Immigration Alongside Personal Injury and Criminal Defense
Al-Sayyed’s practice covers immigration matters, including deportation defense, alongside personal injury and criminal defense work. The firm advertises 24/7 availability for emergency arrest and immigration crisis situations, reflecting the time-sensitive nature of much of this practice area — detained clients and their families often need immediate guidance.
Track Record
Awesome Attorneys did not identify an independent, itemized case-results table for this practice, which is typical for immigration matters given confidentiality and the administrative (rather than public court-filing) nature of much immigration proceeding.
Past-Results Disclaimer: Every case is different, and no past result guarantees a similar outcome in any future matter.
Client Voice
Awesome Attorneys did not identify a substantial volume of independently sourced, individually attributable client reviews for Al-Sayyed in the sources reviewed for this profile.
Community
Al-Sayyed’s law-school record of more than 150 hours of pro bono work and his service as a Phoenix Law Review editor and Student Bar Association delegate reflect a sustained commitment to the profession and community beyond direct client representation.
Recognition
Al-Sayyed was selected to Super Lawyers for five consecutive years (2017–2021), a peer-influenced, research-driven process. He was also recognized by The National Trial Lawyers as a Top 40 Under 40 attorney. Awesome Attorneys did not identify a Best Lawyers or Chambers USA recognition in the sources reviewed.
The Arizona Legal Backdrop
What follows is general legal information, not legal advice.
Immigration law is governed almost entirely by federal law rather than Arizona statute — the Immigration and Nationality Act, administered through USCIS, the Department of State, and federal immigration courts. Deportation defense, part of Al-Sayyed’s named practice, proceeds through the federal immigration court system under the Executive Office for Immigration Review, a process distinct from Arizona’s state courts.
The Awesome Attorneys Assessment
Zayed Al-Sayyed Phoenix’s clearest differentiator is a genuine, independently verified five-year Super Lawyers streak combined with a National Trial Lawyers Top 40 Under 40 honor, backed by a strong academic record including law review service.
The honest trade-off: as a multi-practice firm spanning immigration, personal injury, and criminal defense rather than an immigration-exclusive boutique, clients should confirm the specific attorney’s current immigration caseload and availability, and Awesome Attorneys did not identify a substantial independent client-review record specific to the immigration practice.
