Criminal Cases We Defend in Rexburg

At John Malek Law Group, we provide comprehensive criminal defense services. Our Rexburg criminal defense lawyers handle a wide range of charges, with a special focus on the most common offenses in Idaho:

  • DUI & DWI: Idaho’s DUI laws are strict — even a first offense can result in jail time, fines, and license suspension. We guide you through both the criminal case and the DMV license hearing.
  • Drug Crimes: Idaho’s drug laws are harsh — even small amounts can lead to felony charges and prison time. We fight to minimize these penalties and protect your future.
  • Violent Crimes: Convictions for violent offenses like assault, battery, or domestic violence can mean years in prison and long-term consequences. We vigorously challenge the evidence and work to reduce or avoid those penalties.
  • Theft & Property Offenses: A conviction for theft, burglary, or similar property crimes can result in jail and a lasting criminal record. Our goal is to help you avoid severe outcomes and keep your record clean.
  • Other Criminal Charges: We also handle white-collar crimes, weapons charges, juvenile matters, and more. No case is too small or too complex for our team — we approach every charge with the same determination and care.

Our firm stays up-to-date on Idaho criminal laws and Madison County court procedures. We use this insight to advise you on what to expect and to identify opportunities—like diversion programs or reduced charges—that might benefit your case.

How Idaho Classifies Penalties

In Madison County, as across Idaho, a misdemeanor conviction can carry up to one year in the county jail plus fines, depending on the charge, while a felony carries more than one year in Idaho Department of Correction custody along with lasting consequences for your record, firearm rights, and employment. A first-offense DUI is charged as a misdemeanor and can mean up to six months in jail, fines, and a driver’s license suspension. Acting early with local defense counsel can be the difference between a conviction and a reduced or dismissed charge.
