How We Defend DUI Cases (Every City, Same Standards)

• Two tracks, one plan. We handle the criminal case and the driver's-license side in sync so one doesn't sabotage the other.

• Records first. We immediately demand body-cam/dash-cam, breath instrument performance/maintenance logs and operator permits, and lab packets for blood draws.

• Field tests aren't gospel. Lighting, footwear, surface, instruction errors, and medical conditions change the meaning of “clues.”

• Science must be proven. We test certification, performance verification, gas standards, chain of custody, and method validation.

• Local logistics matter. We ask for remote appearances where appropriate to reduce time away from work or school.

Not Sure Which Page Fits?

If your stop happened on a city street in Boise, Meridian, Eagle, Garden City, Kuna, or Star, use that city's page. If you were stopped on a state route or by a non-city agency in Ada County, the Ada County hub may be the best starting point. Either way, your first court date will list in the state portal, and we can often appear with you and request video for routine settings when allowed.

FAQs 

Do all city DUI cases go to the same courthouse?
Misdemeanor cases from the cities above are heard at the Ada County Magistrate Court in downtown Boise, with courtroom assignments varying by date and judge.

Can I appear by video for my city case?
Often for short, non-evidentiary hearings; judges and settings differ. We'll request video when it's permitted and useful.

Where do I see my first court date?
Your hearing posts in the state court portal; we confirm it and organize your calendar so deadlines aren't missed.

Does the ALS license process change by city?
No—the ALS timeline is statewide. What changes is how we gather records and present facts based on local stop conditions and agency practices.
