All I can say is Fantastic! Very professional, courteous and thorough. James Christie did a great job of explaining my legal options. Walked me through the process. I highly recommend this law firm. The knowledge that was passed on to me. Now I pass it on to you. Adam

Following my arrest I didn’t know what to do or where to look for legal help. I called many lawyers and none were of help or would even talk to me. James Christie gladly was a complete different story. He gave me great advice and unfolded the reality of how my case could go. His trustworthiness showed quickly in the quick 10 minute phone call and I instantly knew he would be the best option for me. Putting my trust into him, my case against me for DUI was dismissed. He has continued to answer any and all questions with the upmost professionalism. Truly the best lawyer and I would recommend him to anyone who finds themselves is a similar situation as myself.

I consulted Mr. Christie for legal advice because the attorney I had on retainer was not capable of handling my complicated cases and I had reached out to a couple of other attorneys who declined to take my case due to the complex nature. Mr. Christie agreed to take my case and was immediately able to make progress. He crafted a plan to resolve my cases to the best possible outcome. There were hurdles along the way and Mr. Christie was able to work through him using astute legal knowledge and his brilliant understanding of the Alaska Court System. I can't imagine where I would be had I not contacted Mr. Christie and I only wish I would have done so earlier. He is intelligent and well spoken and he truly cares. He could have easily settled for a less satisfactory outcome but he never gave up and worked relentlessly to succeed in resolving my cases. Mr. Christie deserves the highest recommendation and I am truly appreciative of the assistance he provided.

Several months ago I was super surprised and disconcerted to find myself in a legal situation I had not anticipated and had no experience with. Instant panic and worst-case-scenario thinking ensued and my mind scrambled as to how I was going to handle and fix this (and what if I couldn’t?!). The next thought in between the bad thoughts: James Christie.  I grew up in Anchorage and still live here and as anyone who has lived in one place for a long time experiences - there are certain names that come to be known as the go-tos in town should one be in need - whether in regards to a broken leg or an engine repair or the law - there are folks who are known in their respective fields for being: fair to both their clients and co-workers, well-versed and practiced, still curious and passionate about their professions, respected by their colleagues, and absolutely committed to doing right by their clients and always to the best of their abilities. James is one of those go-to folks.  My case was probably pretty boring compared to most of what comes across James' desk, but he made me feel like it was his only case. In spite of only a few days notice, by the time we did the run-through of his and opposing counsel’s line of potential questions, it was obvious he couldn’t have been more committed or well-informed as to the particulars of my case. Sure, I was still nervous as you-know-what going into court and having to deal, but the fact of having the representation I did made a huge psychological and emotional difference. Ultimately my case was dismissed because the other side didn’t show up. While ecstatic for that outcome, I have to admit I’m a bit melancholy having missed the for sure mess James would have made of their claims and witness. I’m thankful to have this experience in the past but two take-aways have stayed with me: 1) should I ever need a lawyer in the future there is no doubt I would again retain James Christie and 2) at one point during our prep work I asked James what he liked most about his job. His answer: helping people. Not the money, not the office view, not the courtroom battle. I respect James for being a fabulous lawyer, but it also feels pretty awesome to be able to admire your attorney for being a good person. 

I couldn't have felt anymore ashamed. I spoke with James and he laid it out for me. It wasn't going to look good BUT he would do his best. He was amazing, he saw so many cracks in my case and did so much research that when he talked with the prosecuter even they had to agree. So what we thought doesn't usually happen, did, and I was given a second chance. I would strongly recommend James Christie if you need a criminal attorney!!

I was fighting a criminal case and calling for consults with attorneys, after 10 minutes of talking with James Christie, I hired him. He was very confident, supportive, and non-judgmental. I was ashamed and scared of the situation I was in as I have never been I trouble with the law, but he was very compassionate and reassuring. James worked hard, and my entire case dismissed. The prices for his services are fair, and I even got a refund on some of the retainer at the end. I highly recommend him for anyone who is fighting a criminal case! 10/10!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Went above and beyond what is expected of a lawyer! Great response time (24/7) and always made sure to state facts even if he had to research before giving an answer. Can’t begin to thank him enough for all his hard work, energy, dedication, and personal attention that was given!

James Christie III is an avid criminal defense attorney, from the time you walk into his office to after you case is closed, James will make ensure that your case goes as smoothly as possible. As a client, know that you will have to take accountability & responsibility to make sure you do your part. If you find yourself in a pickle, he doesn’t judge because we’re all human. This is part of your story to improve yourself. We all make mistakes, we learn from them. If you’re looking for a criminal defense attorney, I’d certainly recommend James.

After a life altering event, I enlisted the help of James Christie for legal services. It was the best decision I could have made. I was looking at a severe sentence that could have impacted the rest of my life. Mr. Christie helped to negotiate a favorable outcome with the prosecution. He treated me with respect and dignity and made the whole horrific process easier to understand for me and my family. He was respectful and kind to both sides of the situation and worked diligently on my behalf with honesty and candor. In the courtroom, James Christie was incredible. He went above and beyond my expectations. His sensitivity and kindness to me and my family during the worst time of our lives is something that I cannot really put into words. I really believe that Mr. Christie gave me a second chance at life and I will be eternally grateful to this man. Even after the sentencing, he continues to respond promptly with any questions I have and with support and encouragement. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Christie to anyone who is facing life altering charges. In my opinion, he is the best representation for criminal defense in the state of Alaska.

I had hired James to help with a case that I had pending. I had never had any legal issues before so it was incredibly nerve wracking time. James really helped put my mind at ease throughout the length of the process. The feedback was always timely and professional. I felt appropriately informed and had to do very little the entire time. The process took longer than expected but otherwise went smoothly and resolved in the ideal manner.

I needed a lawyer for First OUI. I found Mr Christie by reviewing his Website. It was an outstanding choice!!! Mr Christie is very respectful, knowledgeable, and dedicated to you for the best outcome. He is always available and truthful. He taught me what I needed to know about the court system and my situation. He fought for me and turned my case to a lesser charge! He saved my life and career!! I cannot thank him or praise him enough!! Thank you Mr Christie!! Forever grateful!!

James quite literally saved my career. I am in the Army and was charged in a property damage/domestic violence case. The other lawyers that I had consults with were more concerned about my ability to pay their retainer, than the charge itself. James listened to what I had to say. From the start, James kept me informed. At my bail hearing, James stood up for me when the MOA attorney showed up unprepared and tried to frame their own lack of professionalism as my fault. That issue was quickly resolved due to James’ willingness to call them out on it. He went above and beyond when I was struggling on the military side of things, and referred me to an expert in that field, who was able to answer my questions and give me a plan to remedy my issues. James then negotiated on my behalf and the charge was dismissed before I ever had to appear in court. If you’re looking for an honest, compassionate, and passionate attorney who is sticks up for your rights, look no further. I wholeheartedly recommend James Christie.
