Criminal Defense

Criminal Defense Services in Anchorage

Fighting for the Accused Throughout Alaska

Facing criminal charges is one of the most stressful and consequential challenges you can encounter. In Anchorage, the legal system operates under state law, which can differ significantly from federal law, and the court process can move at a rapid pace.

From minor infractions to serious felonies, every stage of a criminal case has unique requirements. Having an experienced trial lawyer who understands both the local legal landscape and your unique situation is crucial to protecting your rights and securing the best possible results.

Experience You Can Rely On

As a criminal defense lawyer, I have over 50 years of experience representing individuals in both state and federal criminal cases. I have handled cases ranging from misdemeanors to complex felonies, including federal investigations, appeals, and high-stakes trials.

My approach combines decades of courtroom work, thorough preparation, and a comprehensive understanding of the Anchorage judicial system. I am familiar with the procedures, timelines, and key figures involved, which enables me to anticipate challenges and navigate the process efficiently for my clients.

Comprehensive & Strategic Defense

Every criminal case demands careful attention to detail. I personally review evidence, interview witnesses, and conduct thorough investigations to uncover facts that may support your defense.

In Anchorage, procedural precision matters; missed deadlines or incomplete documentation can significantly impact your case. I handle all aspects of the matter with exacting attention to detail, from initial hearings in District Court to trials and appeals in Superior Court or federal court.

I take a strategic approach to each case, recognizing that:

Witness testimony can be unreliable or incomplete.
Evidence may be misinterpreted or mishandled.
Police and prosecutorial errors can affect the outcome.

By carefully examining each element of arrest and charges, consulting experts, and challenging inaccurate or unfair claims, I work to protect your freedom and minimize potential consequences.

A Trial Lawyer Who Stands with You

I handle each case personally and provide direct communication with clients throughout the process. My commitment is to be fully engaged with every step, offering not only legal guidance but also support and clarity during what can be an often overwhelming experience. My goal is to empower you to make informed decisions while aggressively defending your rights in court.

I handle all misdemeanor and felony matters, including but not limited to:

Domestic violence
DUI defense (driving while impaired from drugs and/or alcohol)
Drug crimes
Theft crimes
Juvenile crimes
Sex crimes
Violent crimes (rape, arson, armed robbery, homicide)
White-collar crimes (identity theft, credit card theft, forgery, money laundering, fraud)
Expungement and criminal record sealing

If you are the target of a criminal investigation or have been charged with a state or federal crime, I strongly recommend that you contact my firm to discuss your case and explore your options. My mission is to protect client rights and develop tailored strategies that achieve the best possible outcome.
