Lester Syren | Anchorage Personal Injury Lawyer

I represented the estate of a young man who committed suicide while in prison, due to the neglect of those in charge of him. We had to go all the way to trial and verdict to get justice for him and his family.

I built a successful practice by focusing on the best interests of my clients.

Clients should look for strong advocacy on their behalf, prompt responses to their questions and frank advice, even if it's not always easy to hear.

Local knowledge of the court system is essential to the success of a case.

I can provide any information a client requests in an initial phone consultation.

I need the date of the injury, the extent of the client's injuries, insurance coverage, prior injuries, income loss and current medical bills, names of treating physicians, where the injury took place, and who is at fault.

I used to be an insurance defense attorney, and so I am familiar with what to expect from the insurance company when it comes time to negotiate or litigate.

The most rewarding aspect of my job is relieving the stress my clients are under, and getting a fair amount of money to make up for their harms and losses.

Besides the law, I enjoy kite surfing, water skiing and sailing.

I am a member of the Alaska Association of Justice, a group of personal injury attorneys dedicated to the improvement of the law regarding people wrongfully injured.
