Biography
Omar is a trial lawyer who practices nationally and is based in Los Angeles, California. At Qureshi Law, he represents people who have been abused and discriminated against by companies and the government. He also represents people who have been catastrophically injured and the families of people who have been wrongfully killed.
He previously worked at Bridgewater Associates, the world’s largest hedge fund, and GI Partners, a private equity firm. He then worked at Jenner & Block as a lawyer representing companies in class action and antitrust lawsuits. Omar also represented companies in nationwide multi-district litigation.
His background working in finance and representing some of the most powerful institutions in the world has helped him transition to representing people. Omar uncovered a network of nursing homes and residential care facilities that were neglecting disabled and elderly people by looking into tax records and corporate governance documents. He used the government’s history of racist policies to establish that the United States federal government was denying Native American students the right to attend a school with enough resources, teachers, and wellness services to provide a safe and effective learning environment.
Recently, Omar has represented the families of people wrongfully killed; children who were physically and emotionally abused by school district employees; people wrongfully terminated from their jobs because of their sex, race, and religion; and individuals who have been catastrophically hurt by negligent corporations, government employees, and individuals. In 2020, Omar won a sizable award in an administrative trial on behalf of a child harmed by his school.
Omar is an award winning comedian and storyteller. He tours the country performing stand up comedy. He won the Moth GrandSlam Championship, which is the top storytelling award from the top storytelling organization in the country. He has been featured on NPR and the Sundance Film Festival.
