Attorney Craig Atkinson
Craig’s life changed when he was a freshman in college. He was the victim of false accusations by the police. He saw firsthand that law enforcement was not always professional or even competent. What stands out to him to this day is the feeling of wishing that someone would be there to speak on his behalf. As he continued through college, he decided to become that voice for others.
So, when you talk to Attorney Craig Atkinson, you’re talking to a lawyer who knows all too well that our justice system can be anything but just. His years of experience as a defense attorney have only firmed up those convictions formed back in college. He still sees others either wrongly accused or charged far too severely. He’s determined to do what he can to help.

What is a Rule 35 motion? Will it cut my sentence in half?Idaho Criminal Rule 35 has reached almost mythical status among those in custody in the jails and prisons of Idaho. Each week I get at least one phone call from either an inmate, or a friend or family member of an inmate, asking about Idaho Criminal Rule 35. The myth about rule 35 that I hear most frequently is that filing a rule 35 will automatically cut a defendant’s sentence in half! Of course this is a fantasy, and no such rule exists that will cut your sentence in half. Idaho Criminal Rule 35 is a statute that governs the correcting and reducing of sentences handed down by judges in misdemeanor and felony criminal cases in Idaho. Find out more here.

What happens to a witness who fails to appear for court?What will happen to a witness (or alleged victim) if the witness fails to show up for court? It is most commonly a wife or girlfriend of a defendant in a domestic violence case that asks this question. I suspect they are asking this because they hope that their absence from the court will result in a dismissal of the case, but that’s not always the outcome. Find out what to do if your witness doesn’t show up for court here.

Can I plead ‘no contest’ in Idaho?Sometimes defendants want to plead guilty and take advantage of an offer by the prosecution, even though they honestly feel that they are not guilty. This usually happens in cases where the prosecution offers a particularly favorable plea settlement, and the defendant believes there is a strong likelihood of being convicted at a jury trial. In some States the defendant has the option of pleading “no contest”. Find out what happens in Idaho when pleading ‘no contest’ here.
