"Determination, Dedication and Endurance"

On September 10th 1984, I was arrested for 8 counts of 1st degree murder and 1 count of 1st degree arson. On April 23rd 1988, I was acquitted of all counts. It was a nightmare, nearly a year in jail. A million dollars bail.

1st indictment thrown out. 1st trial a hung jury, mistrial.

A very big reason I was able to endure such a nightmare, was knowing and watching Phil’s determination, dedication and endurance.

He is truly a brilliant man. The last 30 years, not a day has passed, I don’t thank God for putting him in my life. I can only imagine the hell I would have had to survive in, had he not been able to defend me. Like a rabid dog with a bone. I owe him my life.

Phillip Paul Weidner, Phillip Paul Weidner and Associates, A Professional Corporation, and all the attorneys and staff I worked with are incredible fighters for people’s rights. They fought for nine years for mine when I lost my arm in a trucking accident and they finally won my case in the Alaska Supreme Court in the face of law from 48 states that was against me and then obtained a settlement. They took my case, a case that most lawyers would not take given the law, and throughout, they understood my needs and spared no effort in helping me.

"Monumental and Brilliant"

I am immensely grateful to Phillip Paul Weidner & Associates for their professionalism, time, energy, efforts, and patience on my behalf over all the years of representing me. They have my admiration, respect, and gratitude for achieving what amounts to, in my opinion, the highest of achievements for a defense law firm: obtaining the release of their client from a life sentence. Wow! Not only have they helped give me a new life and freedom, they have also given immense happiness to my extended family and friends. Their work will also give hope to others who can now refer to it in their efforts to obtain their own freedom. Their work may also play a part in bringing about needed reform in the criminal justice system. In my opinion, their work done professionally, as well as with personalism, is monumental and brilliant.

"This man got me through a most difficult time in life. I will always be in his debt."

Phillip Weidner is the most principled attorney I have ever hired. I was indicted on marijuana and gun charges in the late nineties and was facing ninety nine years on nebulous conspiracy charges. I paid him a flat fee to defend me. After that he was my personal legal pitbull. He spent seven and a half years fighting every motion he filed, from AK Superior Court to AK Appellate Court to the AK Supreme Court. After exhausting state courts, every motion was filed through the Ninth circuit and then through the US Supreme Court. This was time consuming and costly to his firm. He never pressured me to take a plea, in fact he assured me that we needed to fight on. Remember, I’d already paid him up front. I dare say most attorneys would have encouraged me to cut a deal but for Phillip it wasn’t about what was best for his firm, it was about what was the best deal he could negotiate for me. The State went from offering me four years in prison, then two, and finally no time, just probation. If I would have declined that offer he would have happily taken my (weak) case to trail. I remember during my Evidentiary hearing the courtroom filled up with lawyers taking personal time to observe his cross examinations. He is a legend in the legal circles of this state. This man got me through a most difficult time in life. I will always be in his debt.

"If you need a hard-working advocate, you would be well-served to consider this firm."

I am incredibly pleased with the services provided by Weidner and Associates. We had a complicated DV case, and the team took an active role in getting the case dismissed as was the goal of all parties involved. The team was empathetic and thorough in their handling of our case. If you need a hard-working advocate, you would be well-served to consider this firm.
