Genuinely honest and cares about clients or potential clients

My wife and I had a consultation with Mr. Christie pertaining to a DUI. From first contact I could tell he was genuinely honest, and cared more for the client and what was best for them. From initial contact to the in person consultation, he provided us with great information and advice. He also assi...sted us beyond what was expected for the consultation. If we require legal assistance in the future I won’t hesitate to retain his services.

Saved my Alaskan vacation

While vacationing in Anchorage in February 2013 I had an unfortunate run in with the Anchorage P.D. and was arrested for an OWI. The next day was filled with unknowns and regrets as I was from the "lower 48" and in unfamiliar territory. Looking through yellow pages in my room at the hotel the next ...morning the only law firm who would see me immediately was the Law firm of Wallace Tetlow & James Christie. James and Wally explained the entire sequence of events for what was to come in the next few days and how to prepare for the coming months. From the moment of the first consult to the recent completion of the entire case, I was treated with the utmost in respect and was able to relax and live my life all while going through what could have been a rather UGLY experience. James was able to work with the court system, the dept. of corrections, and the Alaska DMV without me having to ever be present in Alaska. I was able to complete everything that the court ordered from my home state while not missing a day of work. They probably saved my career! I was also able to enjoy the remaining week of my vacation in Alaska and will return many times to come. I would highly recommend James to anyone requiring any type of legal assistance in Alaska. I promise it will be one of the best decisions you can make!

Would definitely hire James again (god forbid I would need to)

I was arrested and charged with a DUI in the state of Alaska and it was not something I would recommend. I spent the next week researching and contacting numerous lawyers and felt a bit overwhelmed by the situation. A friend told me about James Christie and said that if he were in my shoes that's who... he would call so the next day I contacted him. When I spoke with Mr. Christie he was straight forward but friendly and very informative. I told him my situation and he very clearly explained my options and what was likely to happen, more so than any of the lawyers I had previously spoken to and i hired James that day. Months later we were ready to go to trial when the D.A. reviewed my case and apparently did not like how it looked, my DUI charge was reduced to a traffic infraction and I am finished with my case. Mr. Christie kept me informed every step of the way and kept in contact throughout. If I was to ever find myself in a similar situation again I would definitely call James.
