There are, of course, many legal situations you may find yourself in where hiring an attorney wouldn’t make much sense.

However, when it comes to the “big stuff”—personal injury, child custody, estate planning, or any situation handled in-court involving a plaintiff and defendant—it is always better to have an attorney on your side.

• Our Idaho Falls attorneys understand the complex and esoteric nature of the legal process in a way that most non-attorneys don’t. 
• We represent you in an objective way. While we do work with you and have your best interests in mind, we are not personally attached to your legal situation—this allows us to make decisions from an objective and rational perspective, rather than one based on the frustration, anger, or fear that most people naturally feel when involved in a complicated legal situation.
• We’ve been doing this for a long time. We know what to expect, we can see problems coming and take steps to avoid them before they occur. We can also safeguard you from the weasley tricks that are pulled on people who don’t have a detailed understanding of the legal process.
• We handle the paperwork, make the phone calls, and ensure deadlines are met.

As a matter of fact, attorneys themselves typically hire other attorneys if they should find themselves in a legal bind. The reasons for this are numerous, but as stated above, one reason is the importance of having an objective party without personal ties to the case. Another reason may be superficial, but it’s true nonetheless—having legal representation looks better, both to the judge and the jury.

• Clear communication—we keep your informed on all legal matters as they progress and we will answer any of your questions;
• On your first visit we will discuss fees and figure out how they can be paid in a way that’s best for you;

• Attorney-Client privilege, which is to say, confidentiality—privileged information stays between you and your attorneys at our law office.

• Honest communication of all facts about your case, be they favorable to your or not—this will inform us on the best legal strategy going forward;
