In law school, John worked as a legal intern for Denali Law Group gaining valuable courtroom and trial experience representing criminal defendants. After graduating from school and getting admitted to the Alaska Bar in 2016, he spent two years as a law clerk in the Anchorage Superior Court. He performed extensive work researching and drafting orders on felony-level criminal cases and petitions for post-conviction relief.

John left his clerkship to join Alaska’s largest workers’ compensation defense firm and began working exclusively on workers’ compensation law. He worked in all stages of litigation, starting at the trial level and going through appeals all the way to the Alaska Supreme Court. Through his experience representing employers and their insurers, John has the knowledge and expertise to ensure that applicants get everything they are entitled to under the laws governing California workers’ comp.

He will negotiate with insurance companies to get his clients the most out of settlements, or aggressively advocate at trial when settlements cannot be reached. His goal is to get injured workers the medical treatment and benefits they deserve after suffering a work-related injury. John enjoys spending time with his wife and two young children, and someday when he has spare time again will enjoy fishing and playing sports.
