Anchorage Insurance Coverage & Defense Lawyer
Overview
I have an abundance of experience and training in criminal law with related experience and training in appeals. The bulk of my experience comes from when I was an appellate attorney for over 16 years with the State of Alaska's Office of Special Prosecutions and Appeals (OSPA). As a result of that work, I have over 140 Alaska appellate decisions, both published and unpublished, to my name. In addition, I served a little over five years as both a pro tem Anchorage District Court judge and as an Alaska Court of Appeals judge. As a result of my experience, I have the necessary writing and research skills for almost any written trial-court litigation, be it in the criminal or civil arena.About Douglas H. Kossler

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
