-
What is a plea agreement?What the prosecutor is frequently willing to do is work out a plea deal with the defendant and the defendant’s criminal defense attorney.

What is a withheld judgment? (deferred judgment)In order to answer this inquiry you must first understand what goes on your record in Idaho when you are charged with a crime. What this means is if someone searched the Idaho Repository they would see that you had been accused of a crime, and would also see that you were arrested (if you were in fact arrested). As you proceed through your case, your record will continually be updated, and those updates will all be part of public record. Anyone who knows how to use the Idaho Repository can get online, do a search of your name, and see that you have an entry. Read more to find out what it means when your record shows a withheld or deferred judgement.

Why should I hire a criminal defense attorney?So you messed up, you know you messed up, so why would you need a criminal defense attorney? You only hire a criminal defense attorney if you are trying to get the case dismissed, right? Wrong! As a criminal defense attorney practicing in Boise, Idaho, I hear prospective clients ask me, “Well I know I am guilty, why do I need a criminal lawyer?” This is like asking your doctor, “Well I know I am sick, why do I need a doctor?” Judges understand that defendants have a right to an attorney, and also expect that attorney to review all available evidence and law before advising a client. Pleading guilty without representation can be a mistake for two reasons. Surely more than two, but there are two reasons I will address here.
