Campos Law handles numerous types of criminal charges throughout Southeastern Idaho. We regularly appear in courts in Bonneville County, Jefferson County, Bingham County, Bannock County, Madison County, Fremont County, Clark County, Teton County, Oneida County, Lemhi County, Custer County, and more. Below is a partial listing of the charges handled and services provided by Campos Law:

  • DUI (Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol or Drugs)
  • Traffic Violations
  • Theft Crimes

  • Violent Crimes
  • Domestic Violence
  • Juvenile Crime

  • Assault/Battery
  • “White Collar” Crime
  • Bond Reductions

  • Early Discharges from Probation/Parole

Punishment in Idaho for any of the above criminal offenses can vary greatly depending upon what type of crime is alleged and whether or not it constitutes a first-time or repeat offense. Criminal offenses are typically classified according to the type of punishment they carry. An infraction, such as a traffic ticket or similar minor offense, simply carries a fine and does not require a jail sentence. It can, however, have other consequences such as restricted driving privileges or increased insurance rates. A misdemeanor typically involves a fine, a period of time in county jail, or both. A felony carries fines, incarceration in state prison, (often for mandatory prescribed periods), or both fines and a prison sentence. Participation in specialty courts, court costs, probation, counseling, community service, license suspensions, limitations on people with whom you may associate, restrictions on your right to possess alcohol or firearms and more, may also be included in a sentence.

Our criminal justice system was founded on the presumption that you are innocent until proven guilty. Unfortunately, many people in Southeastern Idaho believe that if you are merely charged with a crime, you are already guilty. Before you make that assumption or risk subjecting yourself to any of the above punishments, learn your rights and explore your options. Contact Campos Law. We assure that your questions will be answered, that you will be in constant communication with our office, that your case will be aggressively defended, and that your rights will be protected.
