Personal injury and wrongful death trial lawyers based in Juneau, Alaska. Founded 1980. Attorneys licensed in Alaska, Washington, California, Hawaii, and New York. Cases handled on contingency — no fee unless we win.
Choate Law Firm represents victims of serious injury, wrongful death, maritime accidents (Jones Act), motor vehicle collisions, workplace and on-the-job injuries, premises liability (slip and fall, unsafe property), defective products, and insurance bad faith.
