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.

Outstanding Legal Services

I consulted Mr. Christie for legal advice because the attorney I had on retainer was not capable of handling my complicated cases and I had reached out to a couple of other attorneys who declined to take my case due to the complex nature. Mr. Christie agreed to take my case and was immediately able ...to make progress. He crafted a plan to resolve my cases to the best possible outcome. There were hurdles along the way and Mr. Christie was able to work through him using astute legal knowledge and his brilliant understanding of the Alaska Court System. I can't imagine where I would be had I not contacted Mr. Christie and I only wish I would have done so earlier. He is intelligent and well spoken and he truly cares. He could have easily settled for a less satisfactory outcome but he never gave up and worked relentlessly to succeed in resolving my cases. Mr. Christie deserves the highest recommendation and I am truly appreciative of the assistance he provided.

Boy was I sunk!! Or at least I thought so!!

I couldn't have felt anymore ashamed. I spoke with James and he laid it out for me. It wasn't going to look good BUT he would do his best. He was amazing, he saw so many cracks in my case and did so much research that when he talked with the prosecuter even they had to agree. So what we thought d...oesn't usually happen, did, and I was given a second chance. I would strongly recommend James Christie if you need a criminal attorney!!

Criminal case

I was fighting a criminal case and calling for consults with attorneys, after 10 minutes of talking with James Christie, I hired him. He was very confident, supportive, and non-judgmental. I was ashamed and scared of the situation I was in as I have never been I trouble with the law, but he was ver...y compassionate and reassuring. James worked hard, and my entire case dismissed. The prices for his services are fair, and I even got a refund on some of the retainer at the end. I highly recommend him for anyone who is fighting a criminal case! 10/10!
