Zaky Law

Judges have more power than District Attorneys.

I'm happy to announce my merger with Silver Law Firm, where I will be joining as a partner effective immediately. I will be bringing with me the same compassion and zeal my clients and friends have learned to expect here at Zaky Law--the same values shared by the wonderful team at Silver Law Firm. Thank you for all the warmth and support, and have a healthy holiday season!

You've heard the term "resisting arrest" tossed around. Whether you've had a person experience with the cops or typed it into your Twitter search bar, "resisting arrest" remains a mysterious concept. I'll be breaking down what "resisting arrest" actually means here in CA (spoiler alert: it doesn't mean you "resisted" "arrest"). I'll also touch on how the claim that an individual resisted arrest can be manufactured to shield the cops from accountability and erase your willing...ness to ask a simple question. After all, a question is all it takes to be arrested. ----Details---- When: Friday, June 12th at 12 pm (till 12:30 pm) Where: FB Live (link to event below) https://www.facebook.com/events/692649631624563

Friends--many of you watched my live event about qualified immunity and how it protects bad cops earlier today. For those who may have missed it, I've attached a link to the video here. I enthusiastically welcome any questions or feedback. Please contact your local, state, and federal representatives to demand reforms of all policies that prevent abusers from being held accountable under the law. https://www.facebook.com/negad.zaky/videos/10219929909532198/

Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for the law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it breeds anarchy. - Supreme Court Justice Brandeis #justiceforgeorgefloyd #accountability #civilrights

Reduction of the jail population is essential to preventing the spread of the deadly COVID-19. Our office was fortunate enough to negotiate the release of one of our clients from the Santa Clara County Jail. https://slate.trib.al/dlqctgr
