- Insurance impact

Frequently asked questions
How fast do I have to act after an Idaho DUI arrest?
Very fast — you have just 7 days from service of the suspension notice to request a hearing on the administrative license suspension. That deadline alone is reason to get an attorney reviewing your case within days, not weeks.
Why is DUI a consultation rather than a flat-fee service?
An Idaho DUI case turns on evidence — the reason for the stop, field sobriety administration, breath test calibration and procedure. No attorney can responsibly quote a defense before reviewing that file, so the consultation comes first and the plan follows.
What if my BAC was 0.20 or higher?
Idaho charges 'excessive DUI' at 0.20+, with stiffer mandatory penalties and a longer suspension. High-test cases still get defended — calibration, observation-period, and rising-BAC issues all still apply — but they need counsel early.
Can a first Idaho DUI be reduced or dismissed?
Some are — reductions to reckless or inattentive driving happen where the stop or the testing has problems, and suppression can end a case outright. Whether yours has that leverage is what the case review establishes.
What's the first step?
Request a consultation immediately so the 7-day hearing window isn't lost. We connect you with a licensed Idaho DUI attorney who examines the stop, the paperwork, and your record before mapping options — no obligation.
