Treasure Valley Criminal Defense Attorney

Skilled Criminal Defense From A Former Prosecutor

If you are being investigated or may be under investigation for a crime that allegedly took place in Idaho, you should contact a well-qualified trial lawyer who focuses on criminal defense work. Without the proper advice, you could unknowingly talk yourself into getting charged, arrested and/or convicted. Though hiring a “general practitioner” is common, a lawyer who practices different types of law could also lead to trouble and not give your case the attention it deserves. Whereas a criminal-defense specialist will keep up on the latest Idaho laws, especially in criminal law — and would focus their attention on your individual case.

If you have been charged with a crime, contact Attorney Michael Jacques today by calling (208) 344-2224.

At Jacques Law Office, we are ready to help you with all your criminal defense needs. As a former prosecutor, Michael Jacques brings a unique perspective to the firm. He has handled everything from petit theft to felony crimes and will provide the best representation you can obtain anywhere, right here in Boise, Nampa and Caldwell Idaho.

How An Attorney Can Help Your Criminal Defense Case

We help people resolve a broad range of criminal cases including, but not limited to, those involving:

Assault & Battery

Very seldom are assault and battery cases and other violent crime cases handled like they’re portrayed on television. Sometimes the police lack resources or drive to pursue the case to the fullest, but prosecutors will pursue the charges against you even if the police did not perform their job well. It’s important to have a defense attorney to go through the case thoroughly, point to alternative suspects, gain additional facts and help get your case dismissed or reduced significantly.

Aggravated Assault

Unlike simple assault, Aggravated Assault is typically charged as a felony and can lead to significant penalties, including lengthy prison sentences and steep fines. At Jacques Law Office, we understand how high the stakes are. Our experienced defense team is here to protect your rights, challenge the evidence, and fight for the best possible outcome in your case.

Domestic Violence

Domestic Violence allegations can be destructive to your life and should not be taken lightly. Michael Jacques has helped fight hundreds of these cases over the 18+ years of his practice and is very good at navigating the legal and personal challenges that surround these charges. In many cases, if the charges are not beatable outright, he is able to negotiate a resolution that involves non-violent offenses that will not get in the way of future employment opportunities.

Drug Crimes

Criminal charges involving drugs can result in serious life-changing consequences. Changes in difficulty finding employment, maintaining financial obligations, court-mandated classes and or rehabilitation, just to name a few. Ensure your rights are protected by hiring a lawyer that will achieve the best outcome for your case, Jacques Law.

Drug Trafficking

Drug trafficking is a very serious crime in Idaho, and Idaho is a state that holds some of the highest penalties for these charges, including mandatory minimum prison sentences. It is important to have an experienced criminal defense attorney help you navigate these charges. In many cases, Michael Jacques at Jacques Law is able to remove the mandatory prison sentence if he is not able to simply beat the charge(s).

DUI-Alcohol & Drugs

If you have been charged with DUI in Idaho, you should know your rights and retain an experienced and skilled Boise DUI lawyer to evaluate your case. Michael Jacques at Jacques Law has been recognized as one of the top DUI attorneys locally because he will comb through the details of your case to locate anything that police did incorrectly or that simply mitigate your circumstances. Jacques Law has experience and knowledge that will benefit you.

DUI-Breath, Blood & Urine Tests

Even if you have “failed” a Breathalyzer test, there are ways to fight a DUI charge in court. There are certain regulations with which the police must comply before administering a Breathalyzer test. It is important that you know what DUI rights you have in the state of Idaho and how they apply to different types of tests.

Idaho DUI Drivers License Suspension

In Idaho, a DUI arrest can trigger immediate license suspension—often before any court conviction. Failing or refusing a breath or blood test can lead to suspensions ranging from 90 days to over a year. Jacques Law Office can help you challenge the suspension and fight to keep your driving privileges.

Marijuana Charges

Idaho has some of the strictest marijuana laws in the country. Even small amounts of possession can lead to serious criminal charges, including jail time, fines, and a permanent criminal record. At Jacques Law in Caldwell, we understand how a marijuana-related charge can affect your future. Whether you’re facing charges for possession, distribution, or paraphernalia, we provide aggressive, knowledgeable defense aimed at protecting your rights and minimizing the consequences.
