Frequently Asked Questions
When should I call a criminal defense lawyer? +
You should contact a criminal defense attorney as soon as you become aware of an investigation or immediately after an arrest. Early legal representation allows your lawyer to protect your rights, preserve favorable evidence, and begin building defenses before charges are formally filed. We offer a free consultation so you can understand your options before making decisions.
What should I do if I am arrested? +
Remain silent and clearly request an attorney. Do not answer questions from officers or investigators without your lawyer present. Anything you say can influence the criminal case. Contact Browning Law immediately for representation.
How much does criminal defense cost? +
Criminal defense legal fees depend on the complexity of the charges, the amount of investigation required, and whether the case proceeds to trial. We provide fair and transparent fee agreements. Unlike personal injury cases, criminal defense representation is not contingency-based and requires payment for legal services upfront.
Can charges be dropped or reduced? +
Yes. Skilled criminal defense lawyers can challenge evidence, negotiate with prosecutors, file motions to suppress unlawful searches, and expose weaknesses in the state's case. In some situations, charges may be dismissed or reduced. Every criminal case is different, and outcomes depend on the facts, witnesses, and applicable Idaho law.
What is the difference between a misdemeanor and felony? +
A misdemeanor typically carries lighter penalties such as fines, probation, or up to one year in jail. A felony can result in significant prison sentences, loss of rights, and long-term consequences. Both require serious legal representation and experienced defense lawyers.
Do I need a lawyer for a DUI? +
Yes. DUI charges in Idaho can carry license suspension, fines, mandatory programs, and jail time. If drugs or alcohol were allegedly involved, you need a criminal defense attorney who understands DUI law, field testing procedures, and how to challenge evidence obtained during arrest. Our attorneys in Idaho Falls and throughout East Idaho can help.
