Craig Atkinson Criminal Defense Lawyer

Why You Have the Right to Remain Silent

Should you or should you not talk to police? Craig Atkinson addresses your right to remain silent.

Adversarial System

In our legal system, the police are not on your side. They are on the prosecutions side, and you are the defendant.

Cause for Incrimination

If you choose not to remain silent, you could incriminate yourself and make things even worse for you.

Rules of Evidence

During prosecution, evidence could be used against you while evidence in your favor is not shown the light of day.

Family Law Attorney

Family law cases can be emotionally overwhelming. You need a passionate and experienced attorney for these trying situations.

Child Custody Lawyer

Custody is determined by the desires of parents and child, among other factors. Grandparents can become de facto custodians.

Child Custody LawyerMore On This Practice Area

Divorce Lawyer

Divorce can be “fault or “no fault” in Idaho. “No fault” is more common due to its speed and simplicity.
