Given the chance, I would always go with him. I trust him completely and have never worried about things when he's been involved.

He has done a great job representing me with SSA issues and Medical bill issues. I believe he is good at what he does at such a young age. I hope one day in the future we cross paths. I believe he will excel well as an attorney elsewhere. I just hope I don't see him as the opposing party! Alaska Legal Services will lose a good attorney in such a short period of time. Also Alaska Legal Services has been very good to me and representing my best interest.

Smart, well prepared, and a nice person to deal with besides the business. VERY highly recommended.

I have been a client to this office for years after going through a difficult divorce. I consider…read morethe attorneys and staff my family. Everyone is very friendly, helpful, and honest. Litigation was handled in a very professional manner, and the attorneys are intelligent and know what they are doing. To answer to the comment below about unprofessionalism and inconsistent staffing. Paralegals stay on the job for an average of two years due to the stress. It's a revolving door, and this phenomena cannot be blamed on one law firm. Litigating a divorce can be lengthy, and costly, specifically if there is a lot at stake. I can not recommend a better law firm for difficult divorce cases.

Just know that if you are a man in a divorce and there are any allegations of DV this firm (and 95%…read moreof all legal firms) either will, a) not fight for your rights to the full extent; or b) will actually encourage you to admit to something you have not done because they either believe you are guilty before reviewing all evidence or they don't believe they can prevail in your defense regardless. I'm not arguing that violent assaults should go unpunished, but statistically it is just as (if not more) likely for women-on-women DV to happen in AK as it is man-on-women. But due to the experiences of many of the young AK criminal (and civil) attorneys, troopers, DA's, and judges with men who actually commit heinous and cowardly violent acts, the system is severely biased. They don't even recognize how biased they are. All it takes is a single allegation from a scorned woman (with significant motivation to get as much $ possible out of a divorce) to get these attorneys to cower down and advise their clients to accept any plea deal or settlement no matter how poor a deal. Katharine Penrod and most other attorneys will cave to the system without even discussing the merits of the case or the facts involved with their client. She told me 100% I would be convicted if we went to trial (not what happened:). Never mind you will not be provided your constitutionally "guaranteed" due diligence or equal protections in the process. Katharine was particularly quick to judge, had poor communications with me, and I could tell was biased from the start (I respect she advocates for abused child and women but her objectivity has been compromised in the process). While I will say Chris Cromer made some half ass attempts at remedying some of the problems with my representation, I paid a lot of money essentially for his clerk to fill out forms, draft petitions, and put together exhibits that were never needed (and Chris knew that all along). I ended up having to pay AOW for Ms. Penrod's poor legal advice and then had to hire an entirely different criminal attorney who I had to coach into (essentially advocated for myself) requesting my charges get set aside. In the end it took the judge less than 3 mins to set aside my charges because he could see right through the vindictiveness of the whole allegation. Katharine (Ms. Penrod) was 100% sure I would have the DV charges stick and stay on my record and she was 100% wrong. And worse yet she never attempted to describe what evidence would be used against me, listen to my concerns, or to explain if I had any other legal options.
