ATTORNEYS
ELLIET L.M. Revis - MANAGING Partner
Elliet grew up in North Idaho and moved to Alaska after law school. He has a distinctive blend of legal expertise and a deep foundation in the written word. He earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Idaho College of Law, building a strong grounding in legal analysis, advocacy, and client-focused representation.
Elliet is especially passionate about criminal defense, where he is committed to protecting the rights of individuals and ensuring every client receives a strong, thoughtful defense. He previously served with both the Office of Public Advocacy and the Public Defender Agency, gaining extensive courtroom experience and representing clients in a wide range of cases from the most minor of misdemeanors to the most serious of felonies. He ultimately made the difficult decision to transition from public defense to private practice, bringing with him the same dedication to justice and client advocacy.
Before pursuing law, Elliet cultivated his passion for language and storytelling through a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing from Washington State University (Go Cougs!). He later continued his education by pursuing graduate studies at Southern New Hampshire University, where he earned a Master of Arts in Creative Writing. He is currently completing his Master of Fine Arts in the same field. This unique academic path sharpens his ability to communicate clearly, think creatively, and approach legal challenges with both precision and insight.
Elliet brings a thoughtful, articulate approach to his practice, combining rigorous legal training with a nuanced understanding of narrative and perspective—skills that are invaluable in crafting compelling arguments and advocating effectively for clients.
He lives in Wasilla, Alaska, with his two dogs, and continues to pursue both his legal career and his passion for writing.

SUPPORT STAFF
PAW-RALEGAL - Kennedy
Kennedy is an avid acapella enthusiast, his dedication to his craft ensure that rehearsal time is any time. Our excellent paw-ralegal works hard at his job of snuggling and providing a good laugh to the firm's partners. He investigates every smell thoroughly, ensuring no stone goes unturned. When he isn't working, Kennedy enjoys keeping up with the neighborhood activities, napping, and exercising his built in springs. Whether he is a cat or a dog remains unconfirmed and largely open for debate.
Paw-Office Assistant - Zodiac
Zodiac - affectionately nicknamed Baby Z - is the real supervisor of the firm. He insists on his involvement in all firm social activities and is an expert in expressing his opinions. No one will feel like they are unable to advocate for themselves after a conversation with him. When he isn't working, Zodiac loves to play "the floor is lava" and "how many times can I squeak this squeaker?" His dog status is solidly confirmed but based on his vocabulary, he is easily confused with an argumentative toddler.
in memoriam
Spirit
Because we get so many questions about our fluffy support staff, we didn't want to just delete the section about our girl. On March 2, 2026 after battling with diabetes and kidney failure, our baby girl crossed the rainbow bridge. Our whole firm was heartbroken by the loss and we miss her dearly. She was the best grumplestumps anyone could ask for and our house is far too quiet without her.
Spirit's hobbies included eating everything in sight and moonlighting as the local tsunami alert system. Our enthusiastic paw office assistant worked hard to ensure everyone was always on time, even if it was only for meal times, and made sure to let the firm's partners know promptly when people arrived for meetings.
