Joseph Sullivan

Voted Best Defense Law Firm – Best of Panhandle 2025!

Dedicated, Personalized DUI and Criminal Defense Representation

There are no upsides to a conviction for drunk driving. Whether you’re “Sunday driving,” navigating North Idaho in an 18-wheeler for your job, or unsteadily making your way home after a party – attempting any of that in an altered state risks DUI penalties such as driver’s license revocation, jail or prison terms, heavy fines, and other collateral consequences.

If you’ve been arrested for driving under the influence — whether you are a first-offense DUI or repeat offender — you need an experienced, exceptional DUI defense attorney in your corner who knows the law, knows those who enforce and adjudicate it, and knows how to get results.

In Coeur d’Alene and Kootenai County, those skilled, strategic lawyers are Joseph Sullivan and Luke Crawford.

What to Expect

They take charge of your case and pursue it in great detail, asking questions such as:

• • Why were you stopped?
• • Did you admit to drinking or using drugs?
• • Did you perform or refuse to submit to a standardized field sobriety test?
• • Did you provide or refuse a breath, blood or urine sample?
• • Were you involved in a crash?
• • Were you seriously injured or hospitalized? Are you currently under a doctor’s care?
• • When did you eat and sleep last before you were arrested?
• • Were you advised of your rights by the arresting officer?

Expect to be asked questions like these during your consultation with our team.

Act Quickly

You only have seven days from the date of service on your Notice of Suspension to appeal the automatic license suspension (ALS) from the Idaho Transportation Department or request a Refusal Hearing.
