Background
Ali (Alexandra Faye) Poulson is a trial attorney at Arnold & Itkin LLP in Houston, where she focuses primarily on catastrophic workplace injuries, maritime, and offshore accidents. She grew up in a small Utah town where her father owned a manufacturing shop, an experience that shaped her commitment to worker safety. Ali found her passion for litigation in law school as one of her school's top trial competitors, becoming a National Semi-Finalist at the National Trial Competition, competing in the Tournament of Champions, and earning a National Institute of Trial Advocacy Certification. Her career at Arnold & Itkin began as a law clerk during her last semester in law school. After passing the bar, she worked briefly in Utah before moving to Houston to take on her dream job as a Trial Attorney. Ali has been a key member of trial teams that secured an $860 million verdict in a 2023 crane fatality case, $278.8 million for victims of a wellsite accident, a record-breaking $164.5 million for the victim of a refinery accident, $125 million for victims of a car crash, and a $1.9 million verdict in a multi-defendant bus crash case. She earned her B.F.A. in Theatre from the University of Utah and her J.D. from the J. Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University.
