Probably the best Criminal Defense Firm in Boise!

Really Down-to-Earth and experienced, answers his phone himself, only takes 20 clients at a time and does an amazing job! I was looking at 5 years in prison on my first offense, and Dan got the case thrown out of court! Bev and Dan are an amazing team, and if you want the best chance of defending yo...urself, you need to talk to Truscottlaw first!! They are the BEST!!!

Highly Recommend

My family hired Daniel for me after I had gotten myself into trouble. He made sure to always be realistic with me on how things usually and most likely will go. He worked very hard on my case and had past experience with my prosecutor and judge and was able to get me an even better deal than expected.... He did a fantastic job for me. I do not ever plan on being in trouble again, but if it happens, I will go to Daniel.

Effective, Thorough, and Compassionate

I was Mr. Truscott's client in a criminal matter. Not only did he do an excellent job advocating for me legally, but he helped explain what was happening and put me at ease during a stressful time. He seemed to know all the various prosecutors and judges that dealt with my case, and his prior knowled...ge of each allowed him to tailor his arguments accordingly. If I ever need a criminal attorney in the future, I will hire Dan Trustcott again.

A Great Lawyer at an Affordable Price

My initial meeting with Dan was very helpful, providing me with a lot of information about the DUI process in Idaho. He immediately challenged my license suspension and eventually got my charge reduced. I would highly recommend him for DUI cases.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
