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.

Hey all!! You don’t know how relieved I am right now. I’ve been literally living on this forum for about 2 years learning everything I can to rebuild my credit. I was really in an embarrassing financial situation due to my poor credit score. When I started my scores were in the 560 range, everything was wrecked. Few days after I came across PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST on this forum and contacted them, they increased my score and improved my credit profile by removing the evictions, charge off, late payment and DMV, today my Fico 8 are TU: 831, EX: 827, EQ: 769.

I presented Mr. Postma with an extraordinarily complex case that was essentially 30 cases in one. To defend this case required him to develop a good working knowledge of a subject that requires years of study to really understand. He had about a month. He was able to prepare a superb brief and present the facts in a compelling way. He maintained his credibility and objectivity. I don't know the outcome of the case yet but I can say that I was well represented. I have worked with a variety of attorneys over the years and Mr. Postma was the best I have ever worked with.

I have to say, Mr. Postma's reviews are true. I fired my former attorney and had to find a new one. No one would take my case. Then Mr. Postma gave me a 30 minute consultation. He was suspicious of my reasons for firing my last lawyer but asked me to bring him some documents to verify what I was saying. He then took my case 2 weeks before trial. His cross examination of my wife was fabulous. He found some information on her that even I was not aware of. The judge granted me 50/50 shared parenting time and parental responsibilities, which my former attorney in Greenwood Village said was not likely. My former attorney made everything so complicated, but Mr. Postma simplified everything for the judge. I now realize I was sputtering whenever I talked about my wife's accusation, and Mr. Postma helped me realize this and helped my simplify was I was really upset about, which turned out to me something that surprised even me. He helped me calm down, helped me realize what was actually important at trial and what was not, and helped me simplify my own testimony at trial and during cross examination. Mr. Postma is personable and seems to have an actual real life example from his long experience as an attorney for what I was facing, how the judge would process the information, what my ex-wife's motivations were and how she would react at trial, and what the judge's likely decision would be. He is like a chess player who has thought out every possible move a dozen moves in advance. I can't say enough about this attorney.

I recently hired Cameron Compton and her team to represent me and my situation and it was the BEST decision I made!! I was referred to her by two other attorneys that do not practice family law. Cameron was extremely timely, extremely to the point, and extremely beneficial. She cut to the chase. We came to a settlement with the other party in a short timeframe. I'm certain all cases can be complicated, but she made me feel like my case was a priority and she valued that my complications were in her interest. Her pricing is worth every penny. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND CAMERON COMPTON FOR LEGAL COUNCIL IN ALL AREA OF LAW SHE PRACTICES. --- Family Law. Criminal Defense. Probate / Guardianship Thank you Cameron!

My family and I had a wonderful experience with Kelley and Canterbury. From the first contact they were professional, personable and accommodating. They set up an appointment promptly and were already prepared for our first meeting. They were very aggressive with the other party, made sure compensation was fair and that we were comfortable with the outcome. They checked on us often and gave updates on a normal basis. I didn’t feel like just another paycheck with them. They treated us like real human beings with emotions and concerns. Micheala always took her time and made sure we understood what was going on. She was very precise and explanatory. She pulled no punches and didn’t sugar coat anything. They answered any and all questions and kept people off our backs. If you need representation, this should be your first and only stop. No one else in town will treat you as wonderfully or obtain as much as they will. I would recommend them 10 times over.

When I got a DUI a year and a half ago, I was devastated. Waking up the next day, I felt more down on myself than I ever had before. Not knowing what to do, I picked up my phone and started searching for a lawyer. I left messages with several possibilities, but it was a Saturday, and I didn’t expect to hear back right away. August Petropolous was the only one who called me back, even though he was at a wedding and didn’t have much time to talk. He still took the time to listen to me, took down some details, and spent more time than I ever expected reassuring me that everything was going to be okay. It's clear he genuinely cares about his clients. Throughout the entire process, August maintained this level of communication and care. He felt more like a friend who was looking out for my best interests than just a lawyer doing his job. By following his advice, I was able to have my DUI charge dismissed and cleared from my DMV record. I got my regular license back after the initial administrative suspension and never had to install an ignition interlock on my vehicle. I highly recommend August Petropolous. Not only did he achieve the best possible outcome for my case, but he also provided support and guidance that helped me keep my focus on moving forward and rebuilding my life. If you’re looking for an attorney who is dedicated and truly cares about you as a person, August is the one you want on your side.

He made my 8 year old son's dream come true so quickly and with little effort on my part. In each and every one of our meetings/interactions; August always said "We can do this." or "We will not give up." I never felt like I was doing this alone. He has great work ethic and goes above and beyond for clients. My son and I would not have gotten the outcome we did without August on our side and in our corner. It is rare to find a lawyer with a heart and a sense of humor like August. I have recommended him to friends and co-workers because as far as I'm concerned--there is no better!
