Bar Counsel

Alaska Bar Association


Phil Shanahan grew up in the Boston area and graduated from Northeastern University School of Law in 1993. He moved to Alaska shortly after graduation and practiced as a criminal defense attorney in both state and federal courts.  After a few years in private practice sharing office space with some of Anchorage’s best and brightest criminal defense and family law attorneys, he joined the Office of Public Advocacy.  In 2007 he joined a private criminal defense firm, and opened his own criminal defense practice in 2010.  He is a founding member of the Alaska Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and served on its Board of Directors for four years, including one year as a marginally-effective Secretary of the Board. He began his role as Bar Counsel with the Alaska Bar Association in December of 2019.  

Phil is a diehard fan of all Boston sports teams, but realizes he has an ethical duty to work with even Yankees fans (when absolutely necessary).
