Biography
Ali Poulson grew up in a small town in Northern Utah after moving to America at three. She held her first job there: cleaning the facilities at her dad’s manufacturing shop. This background helps her understand the importance of upholding workplace safety to ensure all workers go home to their families.
Ali started her college career studying theatre at the University of Utah. She amassed several achievements, including making the Dean’s List and acquiring a Department of Theatre Scholarship. However, at the end of her undergraduate education, she felt an indescribable pull toward the legal field, calling her to apply to law school.
Unlike many lawyers, Ali is the first in her family to become a lawyer and receive a doctorate. Not only was she highly involved in clubs and service groups during law school, but she also held several leadership positions and externed for The Honorable Paige Petersen on the Supreme Court of Utah. She was also an Associate Editor on the BYU Law Review and served on the BYU Law Review Editorial Board as the Managing Editor of Publication. Ali received the Wendy C. Archibald Meritorious Service Award upon graduation for her many acts of service.
Throughout her time in law school, Ali realized her passion for litigation, and she quickly became one of her school’s top trial competitors. In her second year, her team was the Regional Champion of the Texas Young Lawyers’ Association Trial Competition and continued to become a National Semi-Finalist at the National Trial Competition. A first in BYU’s history, as a third-year law student, her team was invited to participate in the Tournament of Champions thanks to their success the previous year. Ali also received a National Institute of Trial Advocacy Certification.
Ali’s career with Arnold & Itkin began as a law clerk during her last semester in law school. Upon passing the bar exam, she continued to work in Utah and soon moved to Houston to take on her dream job as a Trial Attorney.
Today, Ali puts her passion into her work as she always has, fighting tirelessly for people all over the country who have suffered life-changing injuries.
Living her life with a “work hard, play hard” approach, Ali loves cooking with her husband, Jon, and taking their dog on walks together.
