Advocating for Alaskan Individuals, Families, and Animals
Chances are, if you’ve found this website and are shopping around for an attorney, something in your life isn’t going well.
Perhaps you have been caught completely by surprise by divorce papers. Perhaps you are desperately trying to leave an abusive situation. Maybe you had too much to drink last night and have a few new criminal charges to your name. Or maybe you were accused of something you just didn’t do.
No matter the circumstance, I ask my clients to keep in mind the wise words of Franklin D. Roosevelt during his First Inaugural Address: “So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself–nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.”
I am here to help you conquer your fears.
Stand up to that bully.
Push back. Advocate for your children, your beloved pets, your home, and yourself. Never let fear take hold.
