Justin Facey’s law office was incredibly helpful during my time with them. We ended up having 5 battles to fight and with his help we won all 5. He is fierce and speedy with his commitment to excellence. He is an unstoppable force not to be reckoned with. I will recommend him 1000x over. Thanks Justin and associates!

Justin is a human Angel, no idea what I'd do without him. Especially if your case is a matter of human rights or social justice, he gets the job done.

Things you need to know about Evan:
-He's extremely responsive and ensures that you can reach him at any time- including after hours and on weekends
-He's well versed in Alaska family law and can give you realistic expectations for your case while also advocating for your best interest.
-He will not let the opposing party, or the judge, bully you into accepting something that isn't fairly in your best interest.
-He's thorough and detail-oriented. He will pay attention to the nuances of your case and won't allow things to fall through the cracks.
Now, my full review:
I found Evan in August 2023 after being blindsided by an unexpected custody modification motion that was based on lies and hurtful accusations. I am in Illinois. My originally custody agreement was created in Alaska, albeit my child had never been in Alaska. Her father filed there for dissolution and was willing to give me full custody so the divorce was uncontested and child custody was wrongfully established in the wrong state.
Evan responded to the motion to modify with a request to vacate the original custody order entirely- as it was wrongfully established. The judge denied our motion, but Evan was very confident that his ruling was wrong and offered the option of taking my case to the Supreme Court with a Petition for Review (similar to an appeal). After 10 months of fighting endless motions from the other side (all of which were filled with hurtful lies and damaging accusations), and having a hearing at the Supreme Court, my Petition for Review was granted and my original custody order in Alaska was vacated. My custody case is now in Illinois, the rightful jurisdiction.
Throughout this entire time, Evan recieved almost weekly emails from me. Many custody disputes occurred between the opposing party and I. Evan responded to me promptly- including addressing emergencies on the weekends AND over the Thanksgiving holiday. He always gave honest advice and was empathetic to my complex and nerve-wracking situation. Although I have absolutely no legal education, when I brought case law or hypotheticals to his attention he willingly listened and provided further insight. He never made me feel as though I was wasting his time.
When Evan spoke to witnesses and professional advocates who work with my child he was courteous, respectful, and took notes of their concerns. He treated my case as if he was fighting for his own child and understood all of the intricacies involved.
He did all of this, while never meeting me in person. I fought this entire case, with his help, from my home in Illinois. We interacted through the phone and email. Even so, as my contract with Evan comes to a close, I can say with full honesty that Evan is the best lawyer I ever could have asked for. He genuinely cares for his clients. The cases he takes on, he puts 110% effort into. He is honest, professional, well-spoken, and extremely educated in Alaska law. In the unfortunate situation that I need an AK lawyer again in the future, Evan is the ONLY person I'll go to. If any of my friends or family in Alaska need a lawyer, Evan is the ONLY person I'd recommend. If anyone reading this review is wondering if they need to give Evan a call- I'll end my review, right now, so you can start dialing his number. In the midst of a heartbreaking family law case, having Evan by your side will be the best choice you make.

We retained MR. BUTLER yet he didn’t respond to a single email, return a single call and had a colleague appear at arraignment and bail hearing. We didn’t hear from the actual attorney we retained not one single time. When we talked to the associate he never knew about emails with the office staff regarding requests or assistance we had asked for and we were forced to retain another attorney who responds EVERYTIME we have a question himself. I sent correspondence requesting some of the retainer we paid be refunded to be told we signed a flat rate fee agreement and that Mr butler would be calling me ( he hasn’t) I strongly advice you to be very aware of who you’re actually retaining. I had recommended this attorney based on someone’s experience long ago but apparently that is no longer applicable. During the bail review the prosecutor didn’t oppose bail with a third party and we had provided all the third party information the office requested weeks prior and the attorney who appeared (Frances) didn’t even mention and allowed a 2 month out rescheduled court date when he could have provided that info that day! Inadequate would be a kind word. Thankfully we had held back some of the retainer or we would be out that too! The new attorney has done more in a week than this office did in 2 months and now the office staff has a nasty attitude towards us. After speaking with many others this seems to be the norm for this office now! RUN and find a different law group or you’ll pay for absolutely NOTHING! And I mean ALOT of money! It’s fraud and theft in my opinion! I’ll update this should they by chance decide to do the right thing until then I’ll leave this review on every platform I can find in hopes of saving someone else the grief this office has added onto our already horrific situation (false charges) as if we weren’t already enduring enough with that!

Jody was an enormous help with my case. Being a first time offender I didn’t know what to expect when I got arrested and had to go to court. Jody made the process super easy and I felt extremely comfortable dealing with him. Thanks to Jody’s knowledge and hard work ethic we were able to resolve the matter quickly and to a desired outcome. I definitely recommend using him!!!

Left us hanging after two years of workin on a seemingly cut and dried just two weeks before our court date with nowhere to turn for help. Providence Hospital and surgeon Aaron Brown had way too many attorneys. Our guess is Kapolchok took a payoff. Many of the attorneys were his friends.

I always feel very calm about whatever legal issues I am dealing with George and his team by my side. I highly recommend anyone who needs legal counsel to seek out Kapolchok Law Office immediately.

Had a bit of a roller coaster custody case that I’m not sure how I would’ve gotten through without Jessica Falke’s and the rest of the Nyquist Law Group’s help. They truly go hard for you, are straight forward with your options and are on your (and the children’s) side. Highly recommend them. They’re worth every penny!

Attorney Mike Moberly’s help through a stressful situation made a huge difference. I’m an anxious guy in general, and Mike really helped in lowering that anxiety. He held my hand through the whole process. He was responsive and timely, caring and professional. His assistant was just as good. They care about their clients, and are incredibly good at what they do. I genuinely cannot recommend them enough. Stop searching, and give them a call. You want Mike as your attorney.

He's alright, got the job done never got my personal belongings back from evidence but did get a good outcome on my case with the help of the victim in my case pushing for the least damaging charge for my record. Honestly was hoping he would be there when I remanded back to jail but he also had just sent his assistant instead. Definitely is cheaper then some of these lawyers here in town but still expensive as no decent lawyer will be cheap on your pockets especially when your freedom is at risk.

Absolutely the worst law firm I've ever had the displeasure to deal with. I'm a licensed professional and deal with a bunch of lawyers. Three lawyers,... and I've been beaten down by my wife's lawyer, the judge, and my lawyers. I even accused my last last lawyer of representing my wife, while I paid his bill. If you choose this firm, you'd better know the laws better than them... but then they won't represent you if you do. One of the staff lawyers quit, the second agreed to a strategy and then went against it in court. That cost me tens of thousands of dollars. The third lawyer revoked his representation because I called him out for his poor representation. And to top it off, the managing partner doesn't agree with his lawyers or vice versa.
The only high mark is that they wiped the $6k invoice for the flawed court appearance after i told the managing partner that i would not pay it. Good thing, because I just finished paying my wife's lawyer a comparable amount.
Good ridence. If I can get you on malpractice, I will... with punitive damages to boot. The insanity from this firm has beyond anything I could have expected from my worst nightmare, coming from someone that tries to be prepared for every contingency. I've got every email and filing from the past year, so this may be fun!

The Alaska Public Defender Agency does a great job considering its budgetary constraints. They provide more bang for the buck than private counsel, in my experience.
The problems Jeremy Ward talks about are not problems with the Alaska Public Defender Agency. They are problems with our society and government as a whole, caused largely by the breakdown of morals and the extended family. Don't criticize the agency with their finger in the dike trying to hold off the overwhelming flood of dysfunctional people. Criticize what caused that flood. And DO something about it. Volunteer!

What a Criminal Defense Lawyer Can Do for You
A criminal defense lawyer provides legal representation to individuals or organizations accused of criminal conduct. If you're facing criminal charges, a defense lawyer will work to protect your rights, build a defense strategy, and ensure you receive a fair trial. Their primary goal is to reduce or dismiss charges, secure an acquittal, or negotiate a favorable plea deal.
Criminal defense lawyers have extensive knowledge of criminal law and court procedures. They investigate your case, identify weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence, and represent you in court, ensuring that you have the best possible defense.
When Should I Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer?
It’s crucial to hire a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible if you are facing any criminal charges. Some situations in which you should seek legal representation include:
- Arrest or police questioning: If you've been arrested or are under investigation, hiring a lawyer early on can prevent self-incrimination and protect your rights during police questioning.
- Felony charges: Crimes such as murder, assault, drug trafficking, or robbery carry severe penalties, including long prison sentences. A defense lawyer is essential in these cases.
- Misdemeanor charges: Even for less serious offenses like DUI, theft, or simple assault, a lawyer can help reduce penalties, negotiate alternatives to jail, or get charges dismissed.
- Plea negotiations: If you’re considering a plea bargain, a lawyer can evaluate the deal, advise you on its consequences, and negotiate for more favorable terms.
- Probation or parole violations: If you’ve been accused of violating probation or parole, a lawyer can defend you against additional penalties or revocation.
- Juvenile offenses: For minors charged with criminal acts, a criminal defense lawyer can protect their future by minimizing legal repercussions or keeping the case in juvenile court.
What Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Do?
Criminal defense lawyers provide comprehensive legal services to protect their clients’ rights throughout the criminal justice process. Their duties include:
- Case evaluation and investigation: Reviewing the evidence, interviewing witnesses, and investigating the facts to develop a strong defense strategy.
- Legal advice: Advising you on your rights, the charges you’re facing, and potential defense strategies, including whether to take a plea deal or go to trial.
- Negotiating plea bargains: Working with prosecutors to negotiate a plea deal that could reduce charges or minimize penalties.
- Court representation: Representing you in all court hearings, including bail hearings, pretrial motions, trials, and sentencing hearings.
- Filing motions: Filing motions to dismiss charges, suppress evidence, or reduce bail, depending on the specifics of your case.
- Trial preparation and defense: Preparing a defense strategy and presenting arguments, evidence, and witnesses during trial to contest the prosecution's case.
- Appeals: If you are convicted, a defense lawyer can appeal the conviction or sentence, arguing errors in the trial process or legal rulings.
How Are Criminal Defense Lawyers Paid?
Criminal defense lawyers generally charge clients in one of three ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Payment structures include:
- Flat fee: For straightforward cases (e.g., minor misdemeanors), some lawyers charge a one-time flat fee that covers all aspects of the defense.
- Hourly rate: For more complex or ongoing cases, lawyers may charge by the hour, with rates varying based on the lawyer’s experience and geographic location.
- Retainer fee: In cases where extensive work is expected, the client may pay a retainer fee upfront. The lawyer then bills against that retainer for their work on the case.
The cost of criminal defense services can vary greatly, so it’s important to discuss fees during your initial consultation.
How Much Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a criminal defense lawyer depends on several factors, including the severity of the charges, the complexity of the case, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost guidelines are:
- Misdemeanor cases: For relatively minor offenses, such as a DUI or petty theft, a flat fee may range from $1,500 to $5,000.
- Felony cases: More serious charges, such as assault or drug trafficking, can range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on the complexity and duration of the case.
- Hourly rates: For cases billed by the hour, lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on their expertise and the case's location.
- Additional expenses: You may also be responsible for other costs, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, or the cost of private investigators.
Be sure to clarify the lawyer’s fee structure and any potential additional costs during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Criminal Defense Lawyer
Before hiring a criminal defense lawyer, you’ll want to ensure that they’re a good fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has a strong track record with the specific type of criminal charges you’re facing, whether it’s DUI, drug offenses, or violent crimes. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs. -
What are the potential outcomes of my case?
A good lawyer should provide an honest assessment of your case and the likelihood of dismissal, a plea bargain, or conviction. -
How many cases have you taken to trial?
While many criminal cases settle with a plea deal, it’s important to hire a lawyer with courtroom experience in case your case goes to trial. -
Who will handle my case?
Ask if the lawyer will be personally involved or if other attorneys in the firm will handle most of the work. -
How do you communicate with your clients?
Be clear on how often and through what channels you can expect updates on your case.
How to Check the Credibility of a Criminal Defense Lawyer
To verify the credibility of a criminal defense lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check their standing with the state bar: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any past disciplinary actions or complaints.
- Read online reviews and testimonials: Platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google can provide insights from previous clients about the lawyer’s communication, professionalism, and case outcomes.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should have past clients or other professionals who can speak to their competence and work ethic.
- Review their case history: Look at the lawyer’s website or professional profile to see their experience with criminal cases, including high-profile or complex cases.
- Look for trial experience: If your case might go to trial, make sure the lawyer has a strong history of courtroom advocacy and success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most of your first consultation with a criminal defense lawyer, bring the following:
- Details of your case: Be prepared to provide a detailed account of the charges against you, including any documents related to your arrest, police reports, and court dates.
- Criminal history: If you have any prior criminal convictions, inform your lawyer so they can understand how that may affect your current case.
- List of witnesses or evidence: If there are any potential witnesses or evidence that may support your defense, share this information during the consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare questions about their experience, legal strategy, and fees to ensure you understand how they will handle your case.
- Bail or release documents: If you’ve been released on bail, bring any paperwork related to your release conditions or restrictions.
By being well-prepared, you can help your lawyer quickly assess your situation and begin building an effective defense strategy.
