Boise Criminal Lawyers operate in the world of the criminal court. In addition to seeing a whole spectrum of crime in Idaho, every Boise Criminal Lawyer sees the penalties bestowed upon those who have committed a crime. As a Boise Criminal Lawyer, people always ask, "what penalty will I get". The best answer any criminal lawyer can offer is "it depends". There is no black and white answer because the law sets forth the maximum penalty, and sometimes the minimum penalty, but the actual penalty you receive will depend upon a variety of things. The penalty for a crime if Idaho varies based upon the judge, the prosecuting attorney, the state's lawyer, and the crime itself. Every judge looks at things differently and each prosecutor offers different plea agreements. It also depends upon if you take your case to trial or if you accept a plea agreement.

In addition the penalty an offender receives is based upon a variety of other things including the crime itself, whether it was a misdemeanor or a felony, if there were multiple crimes, if any of the crime was aggravated by the use of deadly force and how many other criminal convictions the person has received.

Often, when the party being charged with the crime is not a repeat offender, the penalty will be less. Judges will give, or prosecuting attorneys will offer suspended portions of the sentence. A good example of this is jail time. If a crime sets a maximum penalty of 30 days in jail, a judge might order 30 days with all 30 days suspended. So, does this mean that you are off scott free? Not necessarily. When you commit a crime in Idaho you are also placed on probation, or parole if the original sentence included time in the state penitentiary. What probation or parole does is places a time frame where if you commit another crime, or violate any term of your probation or parole while you are on probation or parole, the judge can cause the entire suspended sentence to be reinstated and you will have to serve or pay any portion of the penalty that was suspended.

Boise Divorce Attorney - Boise Family Law Lawyers - Boise Custody Attorneys Lawyer - Community Property

Boise Divorce Attorney, Boise Family Law Lawyers, Boise Custody Attorneys, Idaho Lawyer, call (208) 472-2383, divorce, custody, child support, modification, termination, adoption, domestic violence and all family law issues in Idaho.

For Boise Divorce Attorneys, community property is a way of life. If you practice as a Boise Divorce Attorney you are intricately familiar with the Idaho Code sections involving domestic relations.

As a Boise Divorce Attorney I often get phones calls from people in the middle of a marital dispute. Sometimes they have criminal law issues such as domestic violence but sometimes the criminal law issues actually require the help of a Boise Criminal Lawyer. When community property is destroyed by one party or the other, a criminal action may be filed. The destruction of community property falls under the Idaho Code regulating malicious injury to property and trespass. Boise Criminal Lawyers often see this statute in the context of a divorce situation.

Malicious destruction of community property carries the same criminal penalty as when the crime involves property outside a marriage and divorce context. It is divided into either a misdemeanor or a felony crime and is dependent upon the value of the property.

If you have a divorce issue or a criminal law issue and you need to speak to a Boise Divorce Attorney or a Boise Criminal Lawyer, please call (208) 472-2383.
