Firm Background
The law firm of DeLisio Moran Geraghty & Zobel, P.C. was initially formed in the late 1950s in Fairbanks, Alaska, and its Anchorage office was opened in 1971. We are one of the oldest, established law firms in the state. The firm consists of five active partners and several experienced associate attorneys. Our attorneys have in excess of 125 years of cumulative experience in the practice of law in Alaska. Our client service is enhanced by a skillful support staff of paralegals, legal secretaries and administrative team.
High standards of professionalism and commitment to excellence have made DMGZ one of the most widely respected litigation and commercial law firms in Alaska. We handle cases in all venues within the state, serving a large, diverse clientele in all areas of employment law, civil litigation, including construction, aviation, products liability, and workers' compensation. In addition, our commercial attorneys deliver legal services in the areas of banking, real estate, corporations, collections and public utility law.
We work hard to thoroughly understand who our clients are, what they do, and what challenges face them in their own markets and industry. This allows us to work with them, hand in hand, to confront the challenges of today's business world-whether it be a class-action suit, an industrial accident that threatens the livelihood of the company, or the rocky road leading to a merger or acquisition. DMGZ brings the highest caliber of legal services to bear on its clients' behalf-and we succeed.
