Max D. Holmquist

Max D. Holmquist is an associate with Jermain, Dunnagan & Owens, P.C. in Anchorage. His practice focuses primarily on municipal law, litigation, and commercial law. He brings substantial courtroom experience from an earlier criminal defense practice and applies that background to civil and public-sector matters. His work supports municipal and business clients dealing with disputes, legal compliance, and other issues that may require both practical counseling and litigation strategy.

Holmquist earned a J.D. from Mitchell Hamline School of Law in 2008 and a B.A. from St. John’s University in Minnesota in 2005. After graduating from law school, he served as a law clerk for the Alaska State District Court in Anchorage. His legal education and clerkship experience provided a foundation in court procedure, legal analysis, and written advocacy before he moved into a demanding trial practice.

Before joining Jermain, Dunnagan & Owens in January 2018, Holmquist spent seven years as a trial lawyer in a busy criminal defense practice. He handled a high volume of matters ranging from misdemeanors to A-level felonies. That experience required rapid case assessment, courtroom preparation, client communication, and strategic decision-making, skills that now support his work in municipal, commercial, and civil litigation matters.

Max D. Holmquist is admitted in Alaska and Colorado and before the U.S. District Court for the District of Alaska. His practice combines local knowledge with extensive prior trial experience. He helps clients evaluate disputes, prepare for contested proceedings, and address legal questions that affect public entities and businesses, drawing on a background that includes judicial clerkship work, criminal defense, civil litigation, and municipal law.
