Meet Whitney

Whitney Power Wilson, a lifelong Alaskan, is dedicated to helping injured Alaskans navigate the complexities of our legal system in order to obtain full compensation for their losses. She is an experienced and fierce advocate for her clients and never backs down to insurance adjusters or the “good ole boys” in the defense bar.

Whitney brings modern technology into negotiations and courtrooms so that insurance adjusters, defense counsel, and jurors understand why the injured deserve compensation.  She focuses her practice on cases involving wrongful death, airplane crashes, sexual abuse of children, sexual assault, medical malpractice, and motor vehicle crashes, including car crashes, motorcycle accidents, and trucking accidents.  Her skills, experience, and dedication have enabled her to obtain millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements for her clients.

Whitney has been named a Top 10 Personal Injury Attorney in Alaska by the National Academy of Personal Injury Attorneys and has received AVVO’s Top Attorney rating of 10.0 out of 10.0.
