Civil Litigation & Appellate Advocacy

When a dispute cannot be resolved at the negotiating table, you need trial counsel who knows Idaho's courts — and appellate counsel ready if the case goes further. Our Nampa and Meridian litigators represent individuals, businesses, and public entities in Canyon County, Ada County, and throughout Idaho's state and federal courts, from pre-suit investigation through trial, judgment, and appeal. Our attorneys have argued dozens of cases before the Idaho Supreme Court and Idaho Court of Appeals and appear in the Ninth Circuit, serving as lead counsel or as a resource to trial attorneys statewide.

We represent individuals, businesses, and public entities in disputes resolved through the court system, including commercial and contract disputes, property and real estate cases, personal injury, insurance, construction, and employment claims. Our trial attorneys handle every phase of a case — from pre-suit investigation and discovery through trial and post-judgment proceedings — for both plaintiffs and defendants in Idaho's state and federal courts. When a case moves beyond the trial court, the same team carries it forward: we brief and argue appeals before the Idaho Supreme Court, the Idaho Court of Appeals, and federal appellate courts including the Ninth Circuit, and we serve as appellate co-counsel and a post-judgment resource for trial attorneys statewide.
