Steven Tervooren Lawyer Reviews & Ratings - Anchorage

Steven Tervooren Bio
"Trust" and "my attorney" belong in the same sentence.  For 35 years, I have worked diligently to earn the trust of my clients, in-house counsel, national firms seeking Alaska counsel, judges, and opposing counsel.  Trust that I will treat your legal needs as of paramount importance and take your cause personally whether you are a Fortune 100 corporation, a powerhouse national law firm, a local Alaska business, or an individual facing legal issues and needing professional guidance to run the gauntlet.  Trust that I will deliver the best service I am capable of, in a cost-effective manner, spending your money as I would want others to spend mine - prudently.  Trust that I know what I am doing (if not, I will tell you who in town practices in an area where I do not).. I have had the privilege to defend complex, bet-the-farm catastrophic injury and wrongful death product liability matters for automobile manufacturers, medical device and pharmaceutical companies, recreational vehicle manufacturers, equipment manufacturers, and others.  I have over three decades of broad experience in complex eminent domain and condemnation actions on behalf of landowners.  I have an active practice involving those fields as well as environmental litigation, personal injury litigation (defense), real estate transactions and litigation, and a host of others.. Beyond technical proficiency, I appreciate the need to understand what matters most to my clients, to know that you cannot get the right answer until you figure out what the question is, to have peripheral vision and your radar looking everywhere for creative solutions, and to not be afraid to hear clients, opposing counsel, or judges remark "I've never seen anyone do it that way before" (I get those comments).. I understand the importance of putting myself out of business as quickly as possible, consistent with getting good results, but also being ready, willing and able to try cases to verdict when necessary.  I love what I do and I think it shows.
