Beyond the legal penalties, a DUI can damage a person’s reputation, employment, and future driving privileges. Whether it's a first offense or a repeat allegation, defending against a DUI requires a thorough understanding of Idaho’s DUI laws, procedures, and available defenses.

Early intervention and experienced representation are critical to navigating Idaho’s complex felony court process and building a strong defense.
