Sheila

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.

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.

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 out...come 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.

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 in...stead of pleading guilty. I’d definitely hire her again.
