I had just had the scariest night of my life. I was still working and I was trying to find a lawyer in the late evenings when I got off work. There were many lawyers that I talked to those few, frantic days. Steve was the first one who really seemed like he understood how scary and stressful life was... at that moment. He was the first one who made me feel like everything was going to be okay. It's now three years later and everything is okay because Steve answered the phone. At trial his quick thinking and preparation really shined through. He's an amazing lawyer and an amazing person. I would recommend him to anyone who is facing the possibilities of being charged with a crime.

Call me dramatic, but I thank Steve Wells for saving my life! I'm a 30 year old girl, with no previous criminal history. After a night of binge drinking, my boyfriend came home to me sleeping and ended up causing a huge domestic disturbance. I ended up getting slapped with 2 very VERY serious felony ...charges. I was scared, VERY scared. A family friend recommended Steve after seeing some of his work and knowing was one of the best lawyers in the country (Top 10 Award was awarded I believe). In comparison to other attorneys, his fees may seem steep, but I believed I owed it to myself to fight as much as I could. Steve did a great job translating the judicial process to me, helped me outweigh my decisions, helped make sure I didn't have to miss work too much for court, and helped me attempt to live a normal life in the process. For the most part, I tried not to hound him and let him work... The last day in court is when he really shined. We rolled the dice and he ended up making a deal with the judge that we all were at peace with. The court room was baffled and fellow attorneys and DAs made sure to tell him how remarkable he was that day and congratulated him. It was a pretty cool thing to see... If you, or someone you care about, needs a good lawyer in Anchorage, I would advise them to think long and hard about their choice. You pay for the work you get and personally, I understand how small town Alaska and Anchorage really is. I think it's important to hire someone who had standing relationships with everyone in this court system and a respected attorney in his community. I found that. Good luck!
