Posted by anonymous | October 18, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Lighting fast skill, empathic and honest

This attorney is the hidden gem of Alaskan lawyers. Modest, ethical and fiercely smart. He practices the old school *art of counsel* that has been lost in so many law firms. When you ask other good lawyers who they recommend, Jake is top of the list every time. After a hundred thousand in legal fee...s from other lawyers and battling a malignant narcissist and his criminal girlfriend for a year, Jake took my case and swiftly ended their non-sense. He protected me and continues to protect me and also schooled the other side on the law. Judges respect him when he speaks and man is he some kind of smart!

  • 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.
