Presumed Innocent

ALI MOGHADDAS is a Partner at Edelson PC, where he focuses his practice on wildfires and mass torts with the firm’s Trial Practice Group.

Ali represents individuals affected by the 2020 Oregon Labor Day wildfires. In 2023, Edelson PC achieved a groundbreaking jury verdict in that case, holding PacifiCorp liable to a certified class of thousands of Oregonians, paving the way to billions in damages to the class. Through subsequent damages trials, Edelson has already secured $220 million in jury verdicts. Ali and the firm are preparing to take dozens more of those actions to trial in the coming year. Ali also represents hundreds of wildfire victims in Colorado, pursuing claims against Xcel Energy for the 2021 Marshall Fire.

Prior to joining Edelson PC, Ali worked as a federal prosecutor in the Central District of California. During his time as a prosecutor, Ali secured a conviction of infamous plaintiffs’ lawyer Thomas Girardi arising from the theft of over $15 million in client settlement funds. Ali also achieved a first-of-its-kind jury verdict in a case involving insider trading, and led a nearly four-month trial in a case concerning almost $1 billion in fraudulent healthcare claims.

Before joining the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Ali worked at a prominent international law firm. He began his legal career clerking for the Honorable Manuel L. Real at the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.

Ali graduated summa cum laude from Loyola Law School, where he was recognized for his academic excellence and advocacy skills. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Finance from San Diego State University.
