Adoption
Guardianship
Spousal Support
Spousal support, commonly known as alimony, may be awarded when there is a large discrepancy in earning capacity between spouses. The amount and duration depend in part on the spouse's need and the ability to become financially independent and in part on the skill of your attorney.
Legal Separation
Legal separation is a recently enacted legal status in Alaska short of divorce. It serves as a solution for people who have religious qualms about divorce or hope of reconciling or provides stability for couples who live apart but are not ready to divorce for financial, legal or social reasons.

Traffic Violations
Driving on a suspended license, leaving the scene of an accident and other major traffic violations are crimes that carry jail time and lengthy license revocation upon conviction.
Fraud
Robbery
Robbery is the act of taking property from another by force or threat. Armed robbery — or merely carrying, or representing one has a weapon of any kind — escalates it to a high-level felony with a mandatory prison sentence.
Burglary
Burglary and robbery charges are often misunderstood. You be may be shocked to learn that you are accused of a felony crime and facing the possibility of prison time. Avoiding a conviction or minimizing the penalties depends upon a skilled attorney who understands how these crimes are prosecuted and how to improve your situation.

Theft
Misdemeanors
Police officers throughout Alaska are well-trained and highly educated, with some having backgrounds as Military Police officers. However, that high level of achievement often results in a more aggressive style. When they are called to break up a fight, their goal is to make an arrest regardless if the person arrested was provoked, defended himself or herself, or had no intent to fight. Frequently, we can pursue a defense strategy that can result in a favorable outcome in your misdemeanor or felony assault case.
Embezzlement
From charges of shoplifting to embezzlement, the attorneys at the Law Offices of Dan Allan & Associates in Anchorage, Alaska, defend clients accused of those crimes. Our experience includes defending clients facing misdemeanor and felony theft charges.
Drug Crimes
Assault
Your rights are of vital importance when facing a domestic violence charge. If you and your spouse are arguing and the police are called, one of you is usually leaving with that officer. At the Law Offices of Dan Allan & Associates in Anchorage, Alaska, we represent clients who are arrested and charged with domestic assault.

Identity Theft
Arson
Shoplifting
When it comes to the practice of theft defense, shoplifting is an area where we represent clients. Oftentimes, the theft is a misunderstanding or there was not much value to the item taken. Yet an inordinate amount of resources is devoted to the prosecution of these cases.
It sometimes takes an experienced trial lawyer like Dan Allan to stand up for a juvenile's rights. He represented one of two youths arrested for substantial property damage at a school construction site after they sought medical treatment at a local hospital. Mr. Allan got his client's confession suppressed by arguing that they were detained and questioned without Miranda rights. In the same case, he proved that police covered up a report that showed blood and fingerprints at the crime scene did not match his client's, resulting in suppression of all scientific evidence.
