I am Boise, Idaho criminal defense lawyer and trial attorney Chuck Peterson, and for nearly thirty years I have been a practicing trial lawyer. I focus on providing the best defense possible to my clients facing criminal charges, and trying the best possible case for my clients in civil actions. In every case I try to bring a sense of reason to the situation, and search for the real story. Every case is a story. I try to answer the tough questions: What really happened? And why? Those are the same questions that jury will ask. I have tried well over two hundred civil and criminal cases, and represented people in virtually every level of legal proceeding - from simple misdemeanors to complex felony cases, in state and federal courts throughout the United States.

Chuck Peterson took enough time to speak with me on the phone in regards to my son's case. My son specifically asked me to call Mr. Peterson as he has some mental problems that makes it very difficult for him to speak to people.

After working with Chuck, although only a short time, it is easy to see why he is regarded as the best in the business.
"Chuck Peterson is the lawyer you would hire to represent your mother if she were charged with murder."
"Chuck and I worked together on a murder case. State of Idaho v. Zachary Neagle. He is an amazing attorney and always gets excellent results for his clients. I offer a 110% endorsement."
"I endorse this lawyer. Charles is a talented and well respected criminal defense attorney who I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a lawyer."
"Chuck is one of the very best i have ever had the pleasure of working with...brilliant on his feet....and more trial experience in his little finger than most lawyers get in a career...just exceptional"
"With an impressive bio, his published and highly accurate answers to questions on Avvo.com, the recommendation of him by attorneys and clients, and, most of all, a terrific blog, it is easy to see that attorney Chuck Peterson is one of the very best and that he cares about his clients and he cares about winning. None of that happens though if you don't know the law extremely well and you know how to handle the courtroom too - that's what a great trial attorney is all about. That's what Chuck Peterson is all about too. He impresses me and I highly recommend him to you. If you have a question about Criminal Law or Fraud Law, he is your answer. It is as simple as that."
"Chuck Peterson is a brilliant and hard working trial lawyer. He is a winner. I believe he is the best criminal defense lawyer in Idaho and beyond."
