About Gavin

Practice Areas

Litigation 40%

I primarily do contract work for other attorneys, in a wide range of civil litigation. Attorneys have hired me to research and write several dispositive motions. I previously clerked for a civil judge, the Honorable Sen Tan, where I worked on dozens of civil cases.

40%
Appeals 30%

I write both criminal and civil appeals, and have written appellate briefs to both the Alaska Court of Appeals (criminal) and the Alaska Supreme Court (civil). Trial attorneys often find it helpful, and cost-effective, to engage me to write the appeal after they have handled the trial.

30%
Criminal Defense 30%

I write criminal appeals, both for private clients and on a contract basis for the State of Alaska. I previously clerked for the Alaska Court of Appeals, where I wrote the bench memo (internal research document) for dozens of cases.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
