Natasha Norris was a great attorney that really took the time to handle my case effectively. She is extremely good at what she does and know how to look at a case from all angles to get the best possible outcome. I couldn't be more satisfied. I would recommend her to any of my friends needing legal help.
Our law firm is led by attorney Natasha Norris, who attended Univeristy of Minnesota Law School and graduated Cum Laude in 2001. She then worked as a state prosecutor for five years before beginning criminal defense work, as a public defender, in 2006. Her role on the "other side" of criminal cases provides her valuable insights into the methods that state prosecutors use to shape their cases. She is able to accurately determine how prosecutors are likely to approach the case, how strong their case is and what constitutes a fair settlement.
During Ms. Norris' stint as a state prosecutor, she worked on numerous sex crimes and received extensive training on how to investigate these crimes. That training now benefits our clients who are accused of sex offenses, which is vital because of the significant sentences in Alaska for anyone convicted of a sex offense.
We have the exclusive investigative services of a retired Alaska State Trooper (who just happens to be Ms. Norris' father). When necessary, he provides our clients with a unique and important set of investigative skills that to our knowledge cannot be duplicated by other defense attorneys in Alaska.
Our clients are assured of working with Ms. Norris from the initial consultation through the resolution of the case. Ms. Norris' experience as a prosecutor assists her in negotiating with the state, but she is also a trial-tested attorney who will go to court in pursuit of a fair outcome if one cannot be reached through negotiations.
We have extensive experience in both rural settings and the state's largest cities. That is another important distinction between our firm and other defense attorneys. A criminal defense lawyer who does not understand the unique aspects of rural Alaskan communities may find it challenging to relate to juries, prosecutors and local law enforcement authorities in those areas.

Wonderful Attorney
Ms. Norris represented me in a very serious felony case and was very diligent in representing me. The outcome of the case was even better than I hoped for.

"I have known Natasha for years since we worked together at the Anchorage District Attorney's Office. She is smart, talented and a ferocious litigator. She knows criminal law, but is especially well-versed in defending sexual assaults cases. Anyone charged with a crime would be extremely lucky to have her advocating on their behalf."
