Dedicated to
Family Law for
Alaskans
Our calling is your resource.
Family First
We provide advocacy for what matters most.
A legal dispute can be stressful, emotional, and overwhelming. Knowing your rights and obligations can give you peace of mind.
Many of our clients come to us when facing crisis.
As an Alaskan family law office, we offer personalized service, reasonable rates, advice about your options, protect your rights and advocate for the best interests of your children. We will attempt to reach a resolution via discussions, mediation, and/or settlement, and advocate for you at trial if an agreement cannot be reached.
Our team advocates for your family’s best interest.
At Nyquist Law we provide
legal expertise and support through our compassionate staff. We offer you the safest assistance in facilitating your most important life changes. Each member of our staff has educational training in
domestic violence and abuse, including behavioral and emotional abuse. We want to acknowledge any hardship you may be facing with a supportive environment while connecting you with representation that considers the entirety of your
best interests now and in the future. Because we’re family oriented, several of our staff members bring their extremely friendly support animals to our offices. Your pet is likewise welcome to accompany you in your journey with us.
