About Us

About Atkinson Law Office

People can find themselves in difficult situations through no fault of their own. People who make mistakes deserve second chances. Those basic principles can too easily get lost in our justice system. Atkinson Law Office was founded in 2010 so people could have a place to go where they could get reliable, qualified, and non-judgmental legal counsel. 

Perhaps you or the person you love is facing a criminal charge. No matter what it is -from DUI to sex crimes to violent crimes or anything else, we believe that people are innocent until proven guilty. We work hard to get a good outcome for all of our clients and we ‘ve got a strong track record of success at doing just that. 

Sometimes, the difficult situations people face involve thorny family law issues. Going through a divorce can be hard, especially when the custody of children is involved. We bring an approach that’s compassionate personally while being detail-oriented and sharp professionally. Clients can have peace of mind knowing that we’re on the case.

Get to Know Our Dedicated Team

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.

Our FAQ

Still have questions or can't find the answer you need? Give us a call at 208-670-8164 today!

  • Should I speak to the police?
    You really should never speak to the police if you are being accused of a crime, especially without a lawyer present. Watch the video because I go through all the reasons why you should never speak to the police, and how it could really hurt someone’s case who has been accused of a crime. For more information, click here.
  • When can a police officer stop someone in their car?
    Can a police officer stop whomever he wants to stop? I know it may seem like they can at times, but the answer is no, a police officer can not stop you for just any reason. The general rule is that if a police officer wants to stop your vehicle, or in legal terms seize you and your vehicle, they need to have reasonable articulable suspicion that criminal activity is afoot. Sometimes you will hear the reasonable articulable suspicion standard shortened to just reasonable suspicion, usually it is a law enforcement officer who shortens the term. All three words are very important though. Read more about when police can legally stop someone in a vehicle in Boise, Idaho.
  • Should I plead guilty or not guilty?
    Pleading to a crime is not something that should be taken lightly. Your life, freedom and reputation are on the line. So should you plead ‘guilty’ or ‘not guilty’? A common myth among those not familiar with the system is if you immediately plead guilty the judge will take it easy on you. While it is true that one of the factors at sentencing is whether you take responsibility and accountability for your actions, that is not the only factor in the sentencing of a criminal case. Guilty or not, you should read more here.
