Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed judgment for the attorney in a fee-dispute action. It held that any possible error in the jury instructions concerning construction of attorney-client contracts was harmless, and that sufficient evidence supported the jury's findings rejecting the client's contract, fiduciary-duty, misrepresentation, and damages claims. The court also upheld denial of post-trial relief concerning the post-2004 recoveries, the adverse fee award, and the bonus.
