Family Law Representation with Clear Direction

Family law cases are personal, but the process runs on details. Deadlines, documents, and court procedures matter, and small missteps can create delays or make it harder to reach the outcome you’re working toward. Our job is to handle the legal work carefully so you can stay focused on what you need to do next.

When you work with Ringstad Law Office, PC, you can expect straightforward answers and a plan built around your goals. We help you understand your options, anticipate what may come next, and avoid choices that can create problems later. Whether your case is resolved through agreement or requires a court hearing, we prepare with the same level of attention from the start.

Practical Strategy for Family Law Cases

Family law is not one-size-fits-all. What stays consistent is the need for structure, preparation, and a strategy you can trust. We start by getting the facts and identifying what matters most to you. From there, we help you:

  • Set clear goals and prioritize what you need now and long-term
  • Understand how Alaska family law applies to your situation
  • Prepare for negotiations, mediation, or litigation
  • Gather the documents and information needed to support your position
  • Avoid agreements that look fine today but cause problems later

If your matter can be resolved through a fair agreement, we’ll guide that process with clarity and professionalism. If court becomes necessary, we’ll prepare your case carefully and advocate for you at every stage.

Strong Preparation for Negotiation & Court

A strong result comes from strong preparation. When the other side knows you’re organized, informed, and ready to present your case, negotiations tend to go differently.

Ringstad Law Office, PC prepares each case with an eye toward the details that matter: financial documentation, communication history when relevant, and the facts that support your position. 

If your case requires court involvement, we handle filings and hearings with a focus on presenting your position clearly and persuasively, grounded in the facts and Alaska law.

About Our Family Law Attorney: Eric K. Ringstad

Attorney Eric Ringstad grew up in Fairbanks and has spent his life around the local legal community. He earned his Juris Doctor from Gonzaga University School of Law and is a member of the Alaska Bar Association.

During law school, Eric gained valuable experience through internships with Clapp Peterson Tiemessen Thorsness & Johnson LLC and with the Honorable Justice Daniel E.

Before joining Ringstad Law Office, PC, Eric practiced as an associate attorney with Golden Heart Law, LLC for 4.5 years. Today, he brings focused attention, steady advocacy, and thorough preparation to family law cases in the Fairbanks North Star Borough.
