Public Advocacy Office

The Office of Public Advocacy (OPA) in Alaska provides essential legal advocacy and guardianship services to vulnerable populations, including abused and neglected children and incapacitated adults. With offices located in Anchorage, Juneau, Fairbanks, Kenai, Palmer, and Bethel, OPA’s mission encompasses a broad spectrum of support, from public guardianship to representation for victims of elder fraud.

Through its multifaceted programs, OPA advocates for individuals in protective proceedings, adult guardianship cases, and criminal defense situations arising from the Public Defender Agency. Led by Director James Stinson, the office is committed to ensuring that the legal rights of vulnerable Alaskans are upheld and protected.
