About Otterson Law & Mediation PC
Otterson Law & Mediation PC serves the Aleutians East Borough from its Anchorage base, providing remote family law representation to one of Alaska's most remote and geographically extraordinary regions. The Aleutians East Borough, encompassing the eastern Aleutian Islands and the tip of the Alaska Peninsula, is one of the most geographically isolated inhabited regions in the United States. Communities including King Cove, Sand Point, False Pass, and Akutan are accessible primarily by small aircraft, making telephonic and video representation an essential reality for family law services in this remote borough. The borough's economy is built on commercial fishing — king crab, salmon, and pollock among the most valuable fisheries in the world — and Alaska Native Unangan (Aleut) and Sugpiaq communities maintain their traditional cultures throughout the archipelago. ANCSA shares and fishing permit assets frequently appear in family law proceedings, as do ICWA considerations for the Agdaagux Tribe, Qagan Tayagungin Tribe, and other federally recognized tribal communities of the Aleutians.
