James is the real deal, and will keep things honest and clear with you. I highly recommend!!!

James thoroughly talked me through my options with a DUI, and was very helpful and direct with how my situation would likely go. He was honest, and didn’t feed me false hope like some people will do. He explained what options I had, and the potential outcomes for each. I made a poor decision, and ...dealt with the consequences of my actions. I’m lucky no one got hurt, and have been sober since this embarrassing situation occurred. Alaska is a state that is pretty firm on these cases, and rightfully so. In hindsight I 1) should’ve never been driving and should’ve called a cab, 2) would not have performed a field sobriety test (this will be used against you as evidence), 3) limited what I said, and 4) just took the breathalyzer and not over shared. (In Alaska if you don’t take this it can be much worse.) I was wrong however you look at this, and didn’t help myself by doing a field sobriety test, and behaving poorly. Everything said, as someone that has learned from this difficult experience. James was very helpful to guide me through the process, recommended services that I was able to quickly work through, and not only be supportive but also available with any questions or concerns. He’s very kind and easy to talk to, and won’t misguide you or tell you what you want to hear. I highly recommend him if you want honest, direct, and professional legal advice.

James Christie

Following my arrest I didn’t know what to do or where to look for legal help. I called many lawyers and none were of help or would even talk to me. James Christie gladly was a complete different story. He gave me great advice and unfolded the reality of how my case could go. His trustworthiness showe...d quickly in the quick 10 minute phone call and I instantly knew he would be the best option for me. Putting my trust into him, my case against me for DUI was dismissed. He has continued to answer any and all questions with the upmost professionalism. Truly the best lawyer and I would recommend him to anyone who finds themselves is a similar situation as myself.

Case Dismissed!

I came to James after researching successful DUI lawyers online. He does a flat rate to deal with all of the court appearances and dmv hearings. It was very freeing to know that everything is being dealt with in the most professional manner and I had nothing to really do. He was able to keep my licen...se throughout the whole process, and after all the information from the prosecutors came through we decided to fight it. The second part was an additional cost, but well worth the money. The very next day I got a call from James with the two best words in the English language “CASE DISMISSED”.

LDR

I needed a lawyer for First OUI. I found Mr Christie by reviewing his Website. It was an outstanding choice!!! Mr Christie is very respectful, knowledgeable, and dedicated to you for the best outcome. He is always available and truthful. He taught me what I needed to know about the court system and ...my situation. He fought for me and turned my case to a lesser charge! He saved my life and career!! I cannot thank him or praise him enough!! Thank you Mr Christie!! Forever grateful!!

Attention Military Personnel in need of Legal Counsel

In 2016 I was an E-5 in the Army and was arrested for DUI, any military member in the same unfortunate situation utilize the services of James Christie. A DUI is a very painful process and is made more difficult while being in the military. Your chain of command, Upper level leadership and even JAG d...oes not have your welfare as a priority. Do yourself a favor and hire Mr. Christie, he made the legal portion as pain free as possible. Many times during the DUI process, Mr. Christie was the only one providing me with clear, accurate and helpful information. Its an investment in a chaotic time that will help you down the road.
