We Protect Your Rights
Our team at Cutler Law Office, P.A. protects your constitutional rights as you prepare to fight criminal charges. Though our law enforcement officers do a lot to keep our communities safe, sometimes they make mistakes or refer cases to prosecutors who want to prove themselves by winning convictions with tough sentences. Everyone in our criminal justice system needs an advocate to defend their rights. We can provide insight into your case and advice to help you receive the most favorable outcome possible.
We Help with These Common Charges
DUI or BUI
If you’ve been charged with driving or boating while under the influence,
you may face strict consequences. You need an experienced lawyer to help
you out—and Attorney John E. Cutler can do just that. You won’t
find many Idaho attorneys who are members of the National College of DUI
defense (NCDD), but Attorney Cutler stays up to date with the help of
their resources and educational offerings. He’s certified in administering
the sobriety tests that police give when they pull you over, and his analysis
may be able to catch flaws in the officer’s reporting. Don’t
just accept that you’ll be convicted if your BAC was over .08 when
you were pulled over. Consult with a
DUI attorney before you make any other moves.
Traffic Citation
Whether you’re hit with a simple failure to yield at a stop sign
or a hefty speeding charge, getting a traffic ticket is never fun. They’re
also very difficult to dispute on your own. Rather than just pay the fine
and accrue points on your license (not to mention a criminal record),
speak to someone who knows the court system. You may be able to negotiate
a more favorable outcome.

Other Practice Areas
Assault & Battery
Assault and battery accusations can be a misdemeanor or felony, meaning
you could end up spending years in prison if you’re convicted. That’s
the case even if you were acting in self-defense, or lost control for
just a moment. Our attorney can review your case and help you plan a strategy—whether
you want to negotiate a plea bargain or fight the charges in a trial.
Drug Crimes
Marijuana may be legal in some parts of the US, but it’s not in Idaho
or on federal land. Possession of small amounts may land you with a misdemeanor,
even if you’re just passing through. Possession of other drugs (opioids,
LSD, medications that weren’t prescribed to you) can lead to a felony.
If you’ve been arrested for possession, you need to start building
your case quickly, so don’t wait to call an experienced lawyer.
Domestic Battery
Judges and juries often hold anyone accused of domestic battery in high
contempt. In these cases, you need an experienced and dedicated lawyer
to fight for you. Depending on who was allegedly involved in a domestic
battery incident, you may end up with 6 months of jail time or 10 years
in prison.
Federal Crimes
You may get tried in a federal court rather than a state court for serious
crimes that break both US and Idaho law—or for any crimes committed
on federal land, such as national parks or recreation areas. Our criminal
defense attorney is licensed to represent you in a federal trial or appeal
no matter the charges.
Theft
If you’re up against theft charges, it’s important to mount
a strong defense. Having a conviction on your record can hurt your reputation
and credibility for years to come. Petty theft, which covers most property
worth $1,000 or less, can still result in a misdemeanor and up to a year
of imprisonment. If you’re brought up on grand theft charges, you
may face felony punishments including up to 20 years in jail. Don’t
chance it if you’re been accused. Call an experienced lawyer to
help you with your case.
Violent Crime
Violent crime charges can cover anything from making a credible threat
to obstructing police officers to unlawful possession of a weapon. These
crimes are often harshly prosecuted and can result in life-changing punishments.
A criminal defense lawyer can help protect your rights and advise you
throughout the case.
