At Atkinson Law Offices, our criminal attorneys have the know-how, the ability, and the courage to challenge the state's evidence, question its authority, and stand as watchdogs against unlawful governmental intrusion into your life. We love to win. Out of all the practice areas, we chose criminal defense because it is our passion.
Drug laws are harsher in Idaho than in most states. The strongest sentences are for trafficking and sales, but possession can carry serious punishment too. Idaho is a particularly bad place to get arrested for a drug crime. Getting an excellent drug possession, sale, and trafficking lawyer is critical to ensuring that you protect your rights and have someone to defend you against the machinations of the state.
When a DUI attorney is hired, they should give the defendant an outline of what to expect. The lawyer should offer best-case and worst-case scenarios; and how to make the best-case likelier. The attorney should discuss any possible defenses to the charge. In Idaho, each DUI case (criminal charge) is paired with a license suspension (administrative case through the Department of Transportation).
Driving Without Privileges is actually an area of law that has become more lenient, overall. Until recently, failure to pay a fine could result in license suspension. Plus, it was a misdemeanor to drive on a suspended license. Anyone who currently had their license suspended at that time had their privileges reinstated automatically.
These two misdemeanor charges are very similar. Reckless driving involves someone driving too fast or otherwise dangerously. Inattentive driving is a lesser offense that is more about lack of attention or milder carelessness. When defending yourself against these charges, you want a lawyer with proven follow-through.

I cannot recommend Craig Atkinson enough! I met with a couple other lawyers before finding Craig, but after our meeting it was clear he was the right one. He was kind, professional, and was able to clearly explain the legal process. Craig and Dinko always responded quickly and made sure they answered all of my questions. They are the best!

Craig Atkinson was the best! Craig represented my husband in a DUI case back in December 2020 and represented him well. He didn't sugar coat things and told my husband what to expect going in front of the Judge. He also met with us a couple times before court and answered all of our questions we sent him via emails.
If you have a DUI it is worth every cent to hire Craig. I know without a doubt my husbands sentence would have been more severe if it wasn't for Craig. Then to top it off he is an all around nice guy whom you are comfortable around and he is easy to talk to and there is no judgment

I did a lot of research on the various lawyers that were available in the treasure valley area and after reviewing reviews and other information Craig Atkinson came out to be my top choice.
Previously I have had many lawyers for child custody cases and to be honest I didn't like any of them. They didn't listen to my concerns and weren't very professional. Craig actually listened to my concerns was professional and responded quickly when I had questions. His services were also very fairly priced, all of my previous lawyers were more expensive.

Craig Atkinson is hands down, one of the kindest & empathetic criminal defense lawyers in Boise. He is caring about your circumstance and he doesn't charge nearly the exorbitant rates that other attorneys do, that are of the same caliber and quality. If you or a loved one is in trouble, call him. He treats you like a close friend and he believes in justice and fairness. He truly is one of a kind.

I was greatly impressed by the professionalism of Atkinson and his colleagues. They were always helpful, warm, and understanding. Naturally, the experience of having to go to trial frightened me at first. However, I felt more and more comfortable once I had received their assistance. Atkinson himself certainly has a calm demeanor that helps to loosen up one’s fears concerning the trial.
For those in need of legal assistance, I highly recommend him as an attorney.

I was very impressed with how timely and efficient Atkinson Law were able to get me in for a consultation given I had a limited amount of time to find a lawyer and get the paperwork going. Craig was also very personable and understanding compared to other lawyers I had talked to about my situation. His experience in cases such as dui's definitely did help alleviate the stress of a difficult situation. There was constant communication through phone calls and emails and I was very happy with my case outcome. I definitely recommend him for anyone needing a good lawyer.

Craig Atkinson was a phenomenal resource to have in a very difficult time. He was easy to work with, knowledgeable, timely, and dedicated. Craig has a calm and confident presence that was incredibly reassuring when things seemed so confusing and foreign. He made things as simple as possible and always took the time to ensure that I understood what what was happening. I will always be grateful that I was able to work with Craig Atkinson.

I used Atkinson Law Office two years ago for a case and was very pleased with the office and staff. After seeing the reviews here for Dinko, I have to say that I did not have the same experience. I thought he was nice and performed his job well. Although my case is probably "cookie cutter" compared to a divorce, I was very happy with this office. Two years later Craig will still respond to an email or phone call with any law related help I might need. I can't imagine you can't go to him with any of your problems with his office!

Do NOT use Dinko for any legal matters. He does very little work, misrepresents the work he does do, and then refuses to return the remainder of your retainer to you. He quoted me a 3,000 retainer for a case, and then as soon as he found out who my ex-husbands lawyer was, he demanded another $2000, because "he hired one of the most expensive lawyers in town." Really? Craig Atkinson was a pleasure to work with, the small amount I did, however, stay away from Dinko.
