Christi Lynn Schofield

I have never needed a criminal defence attorney in my entire life, until one day when I did. As a small business owner I have extensive experience with civil attorneys, mostly from business matters and contracts. As the old adage goes, "When you need a lawyer for anything, hire the best you can affo...rd." So as soon as I was arrested, I knew that I needed to quickly find a good criminal defense attorney, something I knew little about. The cost of representation was not as much of a concern for me, as was the likelihood of a positive outcome in my case. I absolutely had to feel confident with whoever I chose. After reviewing the wide selection of Boise area lawyers, I felt that Attorney Christi Schofield was likely my best choice. She appeared to have a high success rate, be diligent and determined in how she works, and be a respected professional. This initial evaluation of her services proved to be absolutely correct, and I could not be more pleased with her work! Unlike other attorneys I've hired in the past, Christi actually listened to me as I explained the details of my case and asked me thoughtful, pertinent questions. Not only did she collect the necessary information to begin working on the matter immediately, but she honestly seemed to care about achieving a good resolution for me. This was more than just comforting, it made an otherwise terrible experience bearable through her intelligence, wit and compassion. I sincerely felt immediately better, with her fighting for me. In the past, I have paid significantly more money to lawyers only to be disappointed with their approach, attitude, and outcomes. Because of these negative experiences, and the fact that this was the only criminal matter I've ever faced, I specifically wanted a younger, more aggressive lawyer who wasn't going to rest on their laurels and let their paralegals be the only ones to put any real brainsweat into my case. Christi's work was worth every penny paid, and I would have been glad to pay more for the incredible outcome she achieved. Her work greatly exceeded all of my expectations, and I was thoroughly impressed with her throughout the entire interaction. As an Eagle scout, a Marine combat veteran, a small business owner, and what I would consider an all-American "good guy", I never expected to be on the wrong side of the law. Frankly, I was scared of "the unknown" of the situation, but Christi provided excellent counsel and soothed my concerns. She did this with focused, pragmatic logic and thoughtful explanation to me throughout the entire process. I pray that I will never need a criminal defense lawyer ever again in my life, but if I ever do she will be the first person I call. I confidently expect to watch her persit in climbing the ranks of her profession in the years to come, and continue to outclass her professional peers. Christi's impressive knowledge, decisiveness, and integrity virtually guarantees this prediction will be true.

Christi Schofield was amazing! She was very patient and kind and immediately put me at ease. She handled my case masterfully and was upfront and honest about what to expect. Everything she said would happen did and she was an excellent communicator. She let me know that there would be long periods of... time with little to know contact because the legal system moves slowly, but she always reached out the moment she had any information, always had time to take my questions, and would always get back to me in a timely manner. Not only that but she also got me the best of possible outcomes for my case. I simply could not thank her enough for all she did for me, and I would hire her again in a heartbeat. Schofield and Young is a law firm you can trust!

In an accident and was charged with a misdemeanor. Called Christi and she was great in explaining the process and the law that a misdemeanor remains on your record forever and that is how an accident ticket is written in Idaho. I found this ridiculous. Christi was great. Got the ticket reduced to... an infraction. So now not a criminal offense.

Christi Schofield is amazing. She helped me with my case and got me the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Schofield and Young if you are looking for an attorney. She answered all of my questions, and has still been answering all of my qustions even after my case has been closed. Thank you so ...much Christi.
