Colin Strickland

Colin Strickland is a litigation and personal injury attorney in Anchorage, Alaska, representing accident victims after years of defending complex claims. His practice is informed by extensive courtroom and claims experience, allowing him to evaluate disputes strategically, anticipate defense tactics, and pursue fair outcomes for injured clients in challenging cases.

Colin earned a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies from Rhodes College and later received his Juris Doctorate from the University of Florida College of Law. That academic foundation prepared him for demanding legal work involving advocacy, legal analysis, negotiation, and the careful presentation of facts in contested civil matters. After law school, he served as trial counsel for the United States government with the United States Army Corps of Engineers at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson. In that role, he defended significant disputes and developed a reputation for disciplined preparation, assertive advocacy, and effective litigation judgment under demanding professional conditions and deadlines.

Colin’s early legal career later expanded into private practice, where he represented insurance companies in litigation across the United States and Europe. For several years, he also served as counsel to one of the country’s largest auto insurance companies, gaining detailed knowledge of claims evaluation and defense strategy nationwide and abroad. That experience now helps him represent injured people from a more informed position. By understanding how insurers assess liability, damages, medical records, and settlement value, he works to prevent accident victims from being undervalued, delayed, or pressured into decisions that do not reflect their losses after serious harm and practical hardship.

Colin Strickland focuses on litigation and personal injury matters, bringing a practical understanding of both sides of accident claims. He uses his defense background to identify weaknesses in opposing arguments, prepare cases thoroughly, and advocate for clients who need strong representation during difficult recovery periods, negotiations, and litigation. Licensed for 15 years, he offers clients broad litigation experience and a client-centered approach. His work is dedicated to helping injured individuals pursue accountability, protect their rights, and seek compensation that recognizes the financial, physical, and practical impact of serious accidents and the disruption of lives over time.
