I graduated from the University of Idaho with a bachelor's degree in Environmental Science in December of 2010. I went on to continue my education at the University of Idaho College of Law, graduating early in December of 2013, earning a Juris Doctor.

Most recently, my wife and I relocated from Moscow, Idaho, located in North Idaho, back to Southeastern Idaho where we grew up. Being a local product from American Falls, and having participated in events in most Southeast Idaho communities, I am aware of the different communities, their composition, and their needs. During my time in Moscow, Idaho, not only did I attend law school, but I also gained valuable experience working as an extern for the lawfirm of McCormick & Rokyta as a Public Defender. My law practice with Kumm & Reichert, PLLC will focus on criminal defense, Driving under the Influence (DUI), family law, including divorces, custody, child support, modifications, and adoptions, and personal injury cases.

I am a member of the Idaho State Bar Association, and more importantly, I am a member of Southeast Idaho. I look forward to the contributions that I will make and the people I will help through my representation in handling their case. I am dedicated and committed to providing exemplary representation of my clients, whether charged with a crime or involved in a custody dispute.

I am also a sports enthusiast and participated in baseball, football, and basketball, which took me to many of the different communities across Southeast Idaho. During my undergraduate studies, I met my wife, and now we enjoy outdoor and recreational activities all across Idaho, including hunting, bowhunting, fishing, hiking, camping, and skiing. We feel very fortunate to call Pocatello home and to be so close to all of the activities we participate in and the people involved in our lives.

Excellent Criminal Defense Attorney

Stratton helped me resolve a case in which I was wrongfully arrested by IDFG for for resisting and obstructing justice when I confronted an officer illegally searching my work truck and belongings. In the end the case was dismissed. From the beginning Stratton was supportive and explained the potential outcomes and proceedings clearly. I would highly recommend Stratton to anyone.

Awesome Attorney

Laggis Stratton was by far the best Attorney that has ever helped me. He was always on top of the case the whole way through, super easy to talk with, explained everything to me very thoroughly in a way that was easy to understand, and they always sent me all documents very promptly . He quashed my warrant that was issued without me needing to be incarcerated. Best of all he got my charge dropped. I would definitely recommend his to all my family or friends. Thank you Stratton.

Child Custody

Mr. Laggis walked me through the entire process of my custody case, he was very easy to talk to, only used my retainer when needed, and did everything he said he was gonna do for me. When push comes to shove, he's your guy. I will 100% hire him again in the future. There was absolutely no way i could've done my case without him, he helped save my kids from going back to a very unstable home and we are very grateful for that. Thank you for everything you did. I don't think we can say it enough.

I Highly Recommend Laggis

I was wrongfully pulled over for going across the fog line and was then arrested for a DUI. Throughout the entire process of going through the court, Laggis helped me to understand the system and how to best represent myself. Not once did he give me false hope throughout the entire process but was instead very honest with me about what the court may see in my specific situation. Once all was said and done, my case was acquitted. I would highly recommend Stratton Laggis to anyone in a sticky situation with the law.

Commercial Vehicle Ticket

I hired Stratton to help me with a improper lane change ticket in a commercial vehicle. My employer would have let me go over any moving violations. Stratton took it on and got it dismissed and my record is clean still. I would recommend him for any legal problem that comes up.

Posted by anonymous | April 25, 2018

WORTH IT

I was arrested because of a dui. I had no previous record but blew extremely high. Stratton took every measure possible to ensure that I had the best possible outcome. He had excellent communication with me the whole time, and was always realistic with me about possible outcomes. I had a pretty bad case and expected to be on probabtion for at least 2 years. He was very thorough checking all evidence and making sure that my rights were never violated. I felt very confident that he was doing everything he could and he always got back to me very quickly if I ever had questions. His office staff is also very friendly and made sure I got all needed documents in a decent time. Stratton fought my case and I ended up accepting a plea deal to reduce my charges to reckless driving, so I only had to pay a fine and had no probation. I would recommend Stratton to anybody. This whole process was much less stressful knowing I had someone who had my best intersts in mind. Thanks to Stratton I don’t have to have one mistake haunt me forever. It’s worth every penny to hire him!

Stand up guy - Great Lawyer

I hired Stratton to help me out with a family law case. He is very competent in this area of law. Stratton is very professional and easy to talk to. He returned my phone calls promptly and was always available (within reason) when I needed him. I consider Stratton to be a valuable asset in the South East Idaho area. I have used a few different Lawyers over the years. He is one that I would not hesitate to call again. (and i have called on him more than once) If you are reading this and need someone that wont treat you like a paycheck. Stratton would be a good choice. I felt he took an interest in me as a person and my situation, not just in the case. That's rare if you ask me. 5 stars- Thanks Stratton

Best Attorney money can buy

I'm from Utah and don't know Idaho laws so when I went to Idaho and found my self in a world of trouble I was scared didn't know what to do or who to call. I was given Mr. laggis's name from a bail bondsman and was told he was the best in the state and I needed the best cause was I in trouble I was charged with crimes that carries a life sentence for some thing I didn't even do. But there evidence against me was stacking up and seemed impossible to beat. After taking with Stratton Laggis on the phone I knew he was the attorney for me. Hes the kind of guy who won't pee on your leg and tell you it's raining. He is genuine up front and straight forward about what he can do and can't. He stays on top of your case the whole time letting you know every step of the process the whole time. He returned every phone call and email no matter how many times or how crazy they were. He has treated me with the up most respect and believed in me from day one. Really when every one else doubted me. He got my hand full of felonies and misdemeanors dropped down to just a small misdemeanor which I paid a small fine for and got to walk away free and clear. For that I'm so grateful. If you need a attorney I implore you for your freedom and your families don't hesitate to call this man he will do everything in his power to help you win your case. The very best decision I've ever made was too call him. Thanks again Stratton. You Rock!

DUI Case

Stratton was a very efficient lawyer for me and my case. He was very responsive and straight forward to me. I came to him with a case that was a long shot but he did everything he could do and more to help me get what I needed at the end. Great guy to talk to and very understanding.

Posted by anonymous | January 24, 2017

Would recommend to anyone in the area!

Stratton worked with me out of state to handle two possession charges. Handled absolutely all of the paperwork saving me time and headache. He knew money was tight and did everything he could to keep costs down such as having court over the phone to save travel costs. Got my biggest charge completely dropped and the minor charge of the two dismissed. Was very clear and honest with the standing and options of my case and kept my stress to a minimum. At the end of it all I was refunded a huge portion of my deposit and was pleased with the outcome. Very professional, glad I chose him.

Friendly, confident, reliable and effective

Stratton was a pleasure to work with. He was responsive, knowledgeable, and confident about a plan of action for my case, which was a great relief. In the end, he was able to come to secure a far better outcome that I had expected possible. If I ever need legal support in ID again, I will certainly reach out to Stratton.

Well taken care of

My relationship with Stratton began with a phone call. I saw online that he offered a free initial consultation period, and I was in need of advice. After just a short conversation, I decided that he would be a good choice for my case. Stratton was very up front, and to the point when talking about my case, but also made time for small talk regarding hunting, or the weather. I appreciated his straight forward approach to the job, while still taking the time to talk a bit with me personally. Stratton always gave me my options, along with his suggestions. In the end I was very pleased with our outcome. I followed his advice in my choices, and things turned out the way we had hoped. Not once did he paint any false pictures, or throw out false promises. Overall, I am very pleased with the way I was treated, and the way my case turned out. I would recommend Stratton immediately, and would use him again myself if necessary. Thank you for taking good care of me.

Custody Battle

I had the great pleasure of working with Stratton as my custody lawyer. I had never had a custody agreement for my daughter for 4 years and was devastated when her father filed. I was referred to Stratton by my sister in law who had nothing but wonderful things to say them. He called my nerves and answered all my questions honestly, even if the outcome wasn't in my favor. I told him I would fight for my daughter and I would not change a thing he did to fight for me. I will defiantly refer this law office to anyone who asks and if I ever need more legal help, they are at the top of my list.
