Founded by Peter Lowe, Justice Advocates operates out of Salt Lake City, Utah, while maintaining a dedicated service presence for clients in Alaska communities including Badger, College, Knik-Fairview, and North Lakes. The firm takes every case on a contingency basis, meaning clients pay no fees unless and until compensation is recovered.
Practice Areas
Justice Advocates concentrates its practice in personal injury, workers compensation, slip and fall accidents, wrongful death, and nursing home neglect. The breadth within each category reflects the firm’s commitment to handling the full spectrum of harm that clients may suffer.
Personal Injury
Car accident cases form a substantial portion of the firm’s caseload. These include rear-end collisions, head-on crashes, T-bone impacts, sideswipe collisions, rollovers, hit-and-run incidents, and multi-vehicle pile-ups. Injuries commonly addressed in these cases range from whiplash and broken bones to traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, burns, and lacerations. Under Alaska’s comparative negligence rules, fault is apportioned among parties involved in a collision, and an injured person may still pursue compensation even when partially at fault. The firm applies this framework when evaluating the strength and value of each claim.
Workers Compensation
Workplace injury cases handled by Justice Advocates include slips and falls on the job, occupational illnesses, and construction accidents. The firm pursues the full range of available benefits: medical care coverage, wage replacement during recovery, and vocational rehabilitation for clients whose injuries prevent them from returning to their prior occupation.
Slip and Fall
Premises liability cases arising from unsafe conditions are another core focus. These include injuries on wet floors, uneven surfaces, and broken stairs, as well as accidents caused by inadequate lighting. Retail and grocery store accidents receive particular attention, as these environments frequently generate legitimate claims when property owners fail to maintain safe conditions.
Wrongful Death
When a preventable death results from medical negligence, a car accident, a workplace incident, a criminal act, or a defective product, Justice Advocates represents surviving family members. Defective product cases have included snowmobile brake failures and faulty ski lifts. The firm also pursues wrongful death claims arising from premises liability and nursing home abuse. Under Alaska law, surviving spouses, children, or parents may seek compensation through a wrongful death action.
Nursing Home Neglect
Clients harmed by neglect in long-term care facilities may pursue claims for physical injuries, untreated medical conditions, bedsores, and dehydration. Justice Advocates represents both residents and their families in these cases.

The firm serves clients in Alaska communities including Badger AK, College AK, Knik-Fairview AK, and North Lakes AK.
Client Focus
Justice Advocates represents individuals and families, not corporations or insurance companies. Free consultations allow prospective clients to discuss their situation without financial obligation. The contingency fee arrangement removes the cost barrier that might otherwise prevent injured people from pursuing legitimate claims. This model means the firm’s financial interest aligns directly with the client’s: recovery is the shared goal.
The firm’s attention to Alaska-specific law, including the state’s comparative negligence framework and its wrongful death statutes, ensures that clients are advised based on the actual rules that govern their claims rather than generic principles that may not apply in Alaska. The geographic distance between the firm’s Salt Lake City base and the Alaska communities it serves does not reduce the specificity of the legal advice clients receive.
FAQ
Does it cost anything to speak with Justice Advocates about my case?
No. The firm offers free consultations. You can discuss your situation and get an assessment of your options without any charge.
How does the contingency fee work?
Under a contingency arrangement, you owe no attorney fees unless the firm recovers compensation for you. The fee is taken as a percentage of the amount recovered.
Can I pursue a claim if I was partially at fault in a car accident in Alaska?
Alaska applies comparative negligence rules, which means partial fault on your part does not automatically bar recovery. The compensation you receive may be reduced in proportion to your share of fault, but you may still be entitled to damages.
Who can file a wrongful death claim in Alaska?
Under Alaska law, surviving spouses, children, or parents of the deceased may pursue wrongful death compensation.
What types of workers compensation benefits can I claim?
Depending on the circumstances, injured workers may be entitled to medical benefits, wage replacement during recovery, and vocational rehabilitation if the injury prevents a return to prior work.

For individuals in Alaska communities who have suffered injuries or lost a family member due to someone else’s negligence, the geographic distance from Salt Lake City does not create a barrier to representation.
