Experienced In A Broad Range Of Legal Matters
We distinguish ourselves by maintaining a vigorous trial practice. In doing so, we try cases frequently, including complex, long-term trials when necessary to protect our clients’ interests. For these reasons, insurance adjusters and in-house counsel from across the country entrust their most sensitive matters to our care. We take the time to develop a detailed strategy that keeps your interests in focus at each step in the process.
While we are proud of the work we do in the courtroom, there is more to our practice than litigation. We offer our clients other effective means of resolving legal disputes, if it is in their best interests. Our significant success at trial means our other efforts at resolving disputes are meaningful and taken seriously by opposing counsel. Opponents understand that our clients’ offers in arbitration, mediation and dispute resolution are more than mere gestures.

In Memory of John Thorsness
It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the recent passing of John Thorsness, a partner in our Anchorage office for almost twenty years.
