Outstanding

Mr. Christie was kind, respectful and very well informed. He helped me get out of a false implication in a DV case with minimum stress. I would strongly recommend him.

Domestic violence cases are often very tough cases to defend against because it is usually just one person's word against our client's. Worse, convictions for domestic violence convictions can result not just in significant jail time and fines, but also loss of the right to use or possess firearms due to federal law. This is a really big deal for many of our clients, and we fought hard on behalf of this client to get him a just result. No domestic violence conviction, no jail,nno fine, and no restriction on his right to use and possess firearms made our client very happy, and we were so happy to play a significant role in making this a reality for our clientnn. A great outcome.

This was a tough case: Our client was charged with DUI in downtown Anchorage after running a red light, but after extensive investigation and consultation with our expert witness, we eventually gathered enough evidence to cast serious and reasonable doubt on the prosecution's case. Presenting our research and our expert's opinion to the prosecutor ahead of trial was a risky move, but it paid off! Instead of a criminal DUI conviction, we convinced the prosecutor to drop the charge down to a careless driving, which is only a driving infraction, not a crime. Client wound up only with a small fine, and her case was over and she got her license back! Great outcome.

Attorney client relationships are the key to victory

I was recently acquitted for murder 1, two murder 2, and tampering. James was not only my attorney during this time he was my friend and confidante. He never withheld anything from me and included me in all decision making acting as a true advocate and mouthpiece for me as his client. I write this as... a testimony of Gods blessings by sending James to get me and my brothers off. I have dealt with many attorneys and I can honestly say that I have NO complaints about how he represented me. I am a 34 year old black man that was charged with homicide before us it was unheard of for a multi defendant highly publicized murder in Alaska and here I am today to tell you about it. We sat through a grueling 2 months of trial side by side and not a negative thought went through my mind as a matter of fact I was only more reassured as we got deeper in. James made sure that everything I told him was taken seriously and for anyone in that predicament it is so comforting to know that not only can you trust your lawyer he also trusts you. He used every resource he had to ensure the best chances for victory he went above and beyond the call of his duties. He believed in me and when the state declined to give anymore money for my defense he fought tooth and nail to protect my constitutional rights. I can't promise that James will win every case but I will say this he is going to put out all on the line and as a convict a father and a human being that's what I look for and expect out of any attorney that takes the bar. Thank you James for giving me my life back I Love you and we will always be a part of each others lives.

If I had to pick only one case to represent my work as an attorney and the indescribable sense of satisfaction I experience when I represent my clients, this would definitely be the case. Facing life in prison after being accused of murder at the sports authority parking lot in 2009, I went into this case convinced that my client was absolutely innocent and being wrongfully accused of the most serious crimes we have in our justice system. A thorough and exhaustive investigation was performed under our supervision, which revealed to us that our client wasn't a criminal in this situation, he was truly a victim. His victimization was continued by an incompetent investigation by APD, who only looked for any evidence that matched their theory of the case, and utterly ignored ample evidence that my client wasn't even armed when he arrived at the Sports Authoriy that fateful day. My client and I spent many months preparing his case for trial, and spent 8 long weeks sitting next to each other at the murder trial last summer. Our hard work eventually paid off: client was found not guily of every charge by the jury, and he is a free man now with his name and reputation restored. Nothing could make me happier. A very good outcome.

James played a MAJOR part in the acquittal of three young men, one being my son

I first met James Christie in April 2012. He was 1 of 3 attorneys for 3 men accused of 1st degree murder. One of these young men was my son. Although James was not representing my son directly, I felt that throughout the trial all three attorneys stood united in their stand to bring justice for a...ll three men. I found James to be compassionate, relentles, focused, respectful and just outright BRILLIANT! I can't give him enough praise. Although I would never want to go through this painful ordeal again, I would always want James Christie in my corner! James went over and beyond his job as an attorney when on the evening of their aquittal and the release of the defendants he stopped by the jail to say congratulations again and wish them well. There was a slight hiccup in the process resulting in my son possibly not being released that night. James quickly made a few phone calls (to the Judge and DA on a Friday evening) resulting in his release! I will be forever grateful to him for his quick and persistent actions. I applaud James for his professional skills , his sensitivity and kindness. I feel that he is one of the top criminal defense attorneys!!

If you need a good lawyer, you have found one!!!!

I have dealt with lawyers in the past, being 50 years old, and did not have much regards for most. Having recently been charged with a misdemeanor that I could have done some time on, I contacted Mr. Christie. The profesionalism and honesty was unheard of,(by me). He did all the work while I was out ...of town the whole time, and then returned more than half of the retainer to me that he didn't use! I ended up with no time, no fine, no classes and 1 year of probation. Plus, the case will be wiped after a year! James Christie is actually Superman in a three piece.
