The most important call you will ever make

Our partners each have more than 10 years of defense experience, and attorney Michael Palmer is a former senior staff attorney at the Kootenai County Defender's Office. As a law firm, we are dedicated to doing all we can to help you move beyond these charges.

We aggressively defend a wide variety of misdemeanor and felony charges, including:

• Drunk driving/DUI charges : We defend every part of your first or multiple offense DUI charge, including defending your right to drive in DMV hearings.
• Traffic violations : In some cases, fighting a traffic ticket means avoiding a suspended license. We defend people when their commercial driver's license, pilot's license or other license is at stake.
• Drug charges : Even the simplest marijuana possession charge can lead to jail time and forfeiture of your assets. We defend clients facing charges for drug possession, drug trafficking, drug manufacturing and more.
• Sex crimes : When your future is on the line because of an alleged rape, child molestation, indecent act or Internet sex crime, you need an experienced Idaho criminal defense lawyer on your side.
• Assault, battery and crimes of violence : We defend clients facing all degrees of felony assault and battery, murder, vehicular manslaughter, domestic violence and other violent crimes.
• Domestic violence : A domestic violence conviction can have many serious consequences, including preventing you from seeing your children. If you are charged with domestic assault and battery, child abuse, sexual assault, kidnapping, violating a restraining order, or another domestic violence crime, contact us.
• Theft and property crimes : Arson, car theft, credit card fraud, burglary, trespassing — these are all theft and property crimes that can lead to a criminal record and time in jail. We can help you fight the allegations.
• Illegal gun possession /firearm offenses: Are you accused of being a felon in possession of a firearm? Did you allegedly use a firearm to commit a crime? There may be defenses available to you.

Even if you are not convicted of the crime, a criminal charge can stay on your record and affect your ability to get a job, rent an apartment or do other life activities. We may be able to help you expunge or clear your criminal record to prevent these collateral consequences.
