Rabinowitz, and she knew before arriving that she would stay. She has lived and practiced in Fairbanks, Kenai, and Anchorage, as an Assistant District Attorney and Assistant Attorney General, prosecuting all manner of criminal cases, including domestic violence, assaults, and child sexual abuse.  She focused for several years on drug prosecutions, and helped re-write Alaska’s criminal drug laws in the early 1980’s.  She represented Alaska in the Western States Information Network, an information-sharing group focused on eliminating illegal drug trafficking from 5 western states.  She trained as a trial advocate, and became an instructor in trial advocacy.  While in the District Attorney’s Offices and the Office of Special Prosecutions and Appeals (OSPA), she handled upwards of 150 jury trials, and dozens of appeals.  She traveled around the country in 1993 as the alternate member for Alaska House Speaker Ramona Barnes, a member of the President’s Commission on Model State Drug Laws.  From 1994 – 2001, she worked in the civil side of the state Attorney General’s Office, representing the Child Support Enforcement Division (CSED, now CSSD) in the Department of Revenue.  There, she gained a great deal of knowledge about the ins and outs of child support.   After retiring from the state, she entered private practice, and her entire focus has been on family law issues for the past 16 years.  She handles trials, settlements, administrative matters, and appeals with the knowledge, experience, and confidence of someone with 4 decades of legal experience in the Alaska court system.

James grew up in a small town in North Carolina, where he learned to value hard work and commitment. He attended college at North Carolina State University, where he received degrees in Biochemistry and Zoology.  James originally planned to attend medical school, but discovered, toward the end of his college career, that he had an aptitude and a love for the law.. James attended law school at the University of Georgia, where he received his Juris Doctor in law. Because of his strong medical and science background, his first job in law was with a medical malpractice defense firm in Atlanta, Georgia. James soon learned that representing doctors and insurance companies was not a very good fit for someone who favored the individual over large corporations. Time and again James was on the side of the corporation that trampled over the individuals’ rights and found himself in conflict with his personal values.. Determined to use what he had learned from working with some of the best insurance defense lawyers in the country to help individuals rather than insurance companies, James opened his own law firm in his native state of North Carolina in 1994. Since then, James has represented thousands of injured people against insurance companies.. In 2010 James fulfilled a long-time goal by coming to Alaska and making it his home. He began assisting with commercial litigation cases, but it was not long before his preference for helping individuals over corporations compelled him to open another law firm to help injured people.. The Crowson Law Group opened its doors for the first time in 2011. Since then, hundreds of Alaskans have turned to James for help with their injury cases, and the Crowson Law Group has already acquired a reputation among insurance companies and their counsel as an able adversary.. Alaska has been good to James professionally, and personally James has quickly seized every opportunity to get the most out of his Alaskan experience. James enjoys skiing, snowmobiling and other outdoor sports. He also has coached high school football for many years. Currently, he coaches at East High School.

I was born in Alaska and have been practicing law here since 1976. I am an elected Fellow of the American College of Trust & Estate Counsel (), a select group of attorneys who are nationally recognized in the practice of estate planning, probate and trust law. I am also one of only two Alaskans elected as a Fellow of the American College of Tax Counsel ().. I am active in drafting and promoting legislation to keep Alaska in the forefront of modern developments in estate planning and trust administration law. I was the primary drafter of Alaska’s laws governing modification of irrevocable trusts, the Alaska 529 College Savings plan and pre-mortem trust and will validation. I was also instrumental in drafting the Alaska Limited Liability Company legislation and secured the first IRS private letter ruling on conversion of a partnership into a LLC.  I was intensely involved in the revisions to Alaska Trust Company laws and formed the first Private Trust Company established in Alaska.

I take great pride in zeaoulously representing individuals who have been accused of criminal wrongdoing.  Standing up on behalf of Alaskans against the police, the prosecuting authorities, and the government is why I became a lawyer, and is the single most rewarding aspect of my career.. I was born and raised in Alaska, and am familiar with the unique challenges and opportunities our great state has to offer.. While no attorney can promise you a particular outcome, I make the same promise to all of my clients: I will zealously and aggressively represent you to the best of my ability, communicate with you and thoroughly explain your options, and work with you in pursuit of the best possible outcome to your case.

I helped people navigate some of the hardest moments of their lives: divorce, custody, property and debt division, and more. Little did I know that some of the hardest moments of my life would include losing my parents within four months of each other.. Although we knew what my parents’ wishes were after they passed away, neither of them planned their end-of-life-care or signed something as simple as a HIPAA release or living Will (also known as an advance healthcare directive). As a result, we never knew what their final healthcare wishes were for the time preceding their deaths.. My mom, suffering from terminal brain cancer, was forced to pass away on someone else’s terms. She lay on her deathbed for 12 days without food, hydration, or pain medication. Since there was nothing in writing regarding her last wishes, my sister was able to prevent me from participating in my mother’s end-of-life decision-making process, talking to her physicians, or securing her pain medication.. To this day, a rift exists in my family because of that.  Because of the need to prevent family fueds I changed my practice to Estate Planning, Wills, and Trusts.

I have represented clients in courts throughout the state and have extensive experience in rural Alaska. I began his legal career in private practice in Bethel, Alaska, where I represented both plaintiffs and defendants in criminal, personal injury, wrongful death and other matters.. After relocating to Anchorage, I continued on as assistant Public Defender in the Anchorage office of the Public Defender Agency and assistant Public Advocate with the Office of Public Advocacy, where I managed varied types of criminal defense, including post-conviction matters and parole. I was also responsible for representing Agency clients in the felony drug/felony DUI wellness court and conducted multiple trainings for Agency attorneys.. My current practice at Birch Horton Bittner & Cherot primarily focuses on complex litigation, personal injury and municipal law.

I have been in private practice with my own law firm since 1976, specializing in Trial and Appellate Work as a Criminal Defense Attorney in the State of Alaska and Federal Court(s), in major criminal matters, as a Plaintiff’s Trial Lawyer on behalf of individuals in catastrophic injury and/or death cases, and federal qui tam actions.. I have also litigated and/or tried on behalf of Plaintiffs and Estates matters involving Maritime and Admiralty jurisdiction and law.. There are 2 other Trial Lawyers in my firm, Michael Cohn, and Lisa Rosano. There is also a support staff of secretaries, paralegals, and investigators.

I have been a criminal defense lawyer in Alaska since 1993.  I continue to represent clients facing charges ranging from murder to dui.  I understand that your case is of the utmost importance to you and your loved ones, and will work tirelessly to obtain the best possible outcome for you.. I have tried cases all over the state, from Fairbanks to Sand Point.  I have appeared before the Alaska Court of Appeals and the Alaska Supreme Court and am licensed to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States of America.. I know that being charged with a crime is a trying time.  I know the feelings of indignity and helplessness that arise during such times.  You are not helpless.  I believe it is my duty to stand up for my clients' rights and to treat every client with dignity and respect.

I decided to become a lawyer while working for my father's law firm when I was in high school. I watched my father try cases, and decided that I wanted to become a trial attorney. In 1984 I spent a year abroad, studying at the Gymnasium Mussenredder in Hamburg, Germany.. I graduated from the University at Santa Barbara in 1985 with Honors in History and German Literature. I obtained my law degree in 1991 from McGeorge School of Law in Sacramento, California. In 1992, I left California, and moved to Alaska. When I arrived in Alaska, I clerked for a Superior Court Judge and then worked as a public defender for approximately 5 years. I opened my own law firm and limited my practice to the areas of criminal defense, family law, and personal injury.. On June 20, 2011, I was featured as co-counsel on 48 Hours television program, CBS murder of Bonnie Craig, a 17 year-old cold case.
