Professional, communicative, and nice!
Christi helped me with a traffic violation and provided clear information to help me understand my options, prompt follow through, and proactive communications about my case. She also communicated with kindness and in a way that helped allay my uncertainty and nervousness about the process.

Ms. Schofield (Esq.) brought resolve to a 32-year-old case successfully. She was professional, attentive, sincere, and knowledgeable regarding the Idaho Law and her ability to deliver promptly. Her professionalism is a class act with integrity and an exceptional recommendation for individuals who need a top-notch attorney with the skill to defend justly! All the best, W.G.

Great service & good end result
Christi Schofield was my lawyer in November of 2019. I had a wonderful experience with her, and for a great price. She accomplished to get everything I asked for done, she got my possession charge taken off and when the prosecutor was trying to give me a lengthy list of community service, classes, fines, probation etc... she got that taken down to just a year of unsupervised probation which was exactly what I was hoping for. She quickly replies to emails with any of your questions, Is great at explaining things and fighting on behalf of you. I highly recommend having her as your lawyer!

Excellent Lawyer
Christi did an awesome job on my case and was great to work with. She got my inattentive driving misdemeanor charge reduced to an infraction for failure to maintain lane. I was so relieved! She appreared in court for me without my being there at one of the hearings because I had moved away from Idaho. She handled things great. She stayed right on top of things connected with my case and I always felt like I was in good hands. I would highly recommend her.

Very professional and responsive!!
I had a very great experience with Christi Schofield! I really appreciated her level of professionalism and responsiveness! I’ve only had one other experience with a criminal attorney and it wasn’t a good one. Christi was quick to respond to my questions and did a great job explaining my rights and the legal process! I would highly recommend Christi to anyone who needs a Criminal Defense Attorney! She is awesome!

Outstanding work
I hired Christi to help me dismiss a case. There was a minimal chance that i would win but she managed to get it dismissed. I am extremely grateful to her because to me this is life changing. Unlike other attorneys, Christi was very good in keeping me updated and was always available to answer all of my questions. I would highly recommend her. Thank You so much Christi!

Amazing Service
I reached out for attorney services because I wanted to get a conviction dismissed from my record. Christi took my case on and was amazing. I never once had to follow up with her regarding the status of my case because she communicated the status. She is professional and definitely knows what she is doing. Christi told me everything that could happen with my case (the good, the bad, and the ugly) so I was prepared for any scenario that may come my way. I recommend hire her 100%.

Professionalism With Optimism
I was looking for a lawyer in Boise to handle a criminal matter. One lawyer i talked to said it would cost 2500.00 plus they didn't think they would be able to get my felony reduced to a misdemeanor. Didn't really like the negativity, since i needed this done in order to keep my job. I called William James Young and spoke with Christi. I told her what i wanted and she quoted me a better than fair price, plus she was pretty positive that she could get it done. I was impressed with the communication since i live in California and any time i had questions she responded in a timely manner. If she was busy she would respond to let me know when she would be in contact with me. As far as the case she laid out all options and advised me on what she thought was the best direction. She got this matter resolved in a timely manner and got my felony reduced to a misdemeanor, which in Idaho doesn't happen very often. 2 thumbs up for Christi... Thank you so much Christi this has changed my life forever...

OUTSTANDING
First thing's first, Christi is the GOAT. As soon as I hired her I was practically stress free about this case. I was supposed to go to court for a hearing on my reckless driving, but Ms. Schifield managed to reduce it down to a speeding fine and I didn't have to appear in court anymore. The best outcome I could ever think of made a reality. She has the necessary knowledge and skills to help you with whatever you're dealing with. She is truly there to serve you and make sure you you're well informed of the current situation. Very professional. Will definitely hire again if I have any more trouble.

I had a 12 year old case that I had a warrant for and she completely got rid of it all and now I can move on with my life. I am very grateful for her help. I highly recommend her.

Excellent Attorney
I hired Christi to help me with a minor sensitive criminal charge that I wasn't too happy about and she was able to quickly take care of it without any issues. She knew exactly what she was doing and was extremely professional throughout the entire process. Will be recommending her to anyone I know with criminal charges and will use her again if the situation presents itself.

Excellent attorney
I recently hired Christi to handle a drug charge for me. I was very overwhelmed by the idea of searching for and hiring an attorney and didn’t know what to expect. Christi was very kind, intelligent, and broke down legal concepts in a clear and straightforward way. I was very happy I hired Christi instead of pleading guilty. I’d definitely hire her again.
