Do You Need an Attorney?
Every legal situation—whether criminal or family-related—can carry serious, lasting consequences. At J.Sommer Law, we know that you don’t need to be a repeat offender, a negligent parent, or have any ill intent to find yourself facing a legal battle. Whether you’ve been charged with DUI, drug possession, theft, domestic violence, or are navigating an estate or probate dispute, the law doesn’t always wait for context—it acts fast, and so should you. Even a single accusation or misunderstanding can threaten your rights, your freedom, and your future. That’s why we’re here: to provide aggressive, experienced legal representation when you need it most.
Assess Your Legal Situation
An experienced attorney can help you fully understand the seriousness of your legal matter—whether you're facing criminal charges or dealing with a complex family dispute. At J.Sommer Law, we handle cases involving DUI, drug offenses, theft, domestic violence, divorce, and estate probate, and we know how the system works from the inside. We walk you through the potential consequences, available defenses, and legal options that may not be obvious—especially if you're relying on limited public resources or generic legal advice. When your future is on the line, having a knowledgeable advocate on your side can make all the difference.
Understand the Consequences
The consequences of a criminal charge or family law dispute can vary widely depending on the facts of your case and how Idaho law applies to your situation. At J.Sommer Law, we help you understand exactly what’s at stake—whether it’s jail time, heavy fines, probation, a suspended license or a permanent mark on your record. You may face enhanced penalties for repeat offenses, mandatory sentencing guidelines or the loss of key rights such as firearm ownership or driving privileges. In probate law cases, decisions around wills, estate and property division can have long-term consequences for your financial and emotional stability. We walk you through every possible outcome—good or bad—so you know where you stand and how to fight for the best result.
Manage the Process
Navigating the legal system—whether in criminal court or probate court—can be overwhelming, confusing, and time-consuming. At J.Sommer Law, we manage the entire legal process for you, from completing necessary paperwork and court filings to communicating with agencies and scheduling hearings. Whether you’re dealing with a license suspension, estate dispute, criminal arraignment, or commercial legal services, we handle the details so you don’t miss critical deadlines or make costly mistakes. Our goal is to take the pressure off you and keep your case moving forward efficiently and effectively.
Representation in Court
When your case goes to court, having an experienced attorney by your side can make all the difference.

We know the local judges, procedures, and strategies that work in Idaho courts.

If your case demands it, we’re fully prepared to stand up for you in court and push for the best result the law allows.
Not Sure if You Need an Attorney?
If you’re facing a legal issue—whether it’s a DUI charge, drug offense, domestic violence allegation, or an estate or probate battle—you may be wondering if hiring an attorney is necessary. The truth is, even seemingly minor cases can have serious, long-term consequences. At J.Sommer Law, we help clients understand the risks, the process, and the options they may not even know exist. Don’t guess your way through the legal system or rely on assumptions—get the guidance of an experienced attorney who knows how to protect your rights and fight for your future.
- Here are some General Guidelines:
- DEFINITELY
- You should absolutely hire an attorney if your legal situation involves serious consequences—such as multiple DUI or criminal charges, injuries from an incident, or risks to your license or livelihood. This is especially true for professional drivers, individuals with prior convictions, or parents involved in custody disputes. Whether it's a criminal case or a family law matter, experienced legal representation can mean the difference between a favorable outcome and long-term consequences.
- PROBABLY
- You should seriously consider hiring an attorney if you’ve been charged with a second or subsequent offense, or if your case involves aggravating factors—such as a high BAC, injuries, or an accident. Harsher penalties often apply in these situations, including longer license suspensions, mandatory jail time, and higher fines. An experienced attorney can help you navigate the increased legal risks and work to reduce the impact on your record and your future.
- MAYBE
- You should consider hiring an attorney if you’re unsure of your legal rights, the laws that apply to your case, or the consequences you may face—especially in matters like DUI, drug charges, domestic violence, or theft. Legal representation is also critical if you work in a profession that requires licensing, bonding, or a clean record, as a conviction could jeopardize your career. If you're not fully clear on the legal requirements or risks, it’s essential to get expert guidance before attempting to handle the case on your own.
