Attorney (Partner)

Capitol Law Group ('CLG') is a mid-sized law office in Boise, Idaho.   My law practice centers on corporate law, administrative law (board licensing, water law and natural resource law) and federal criminal defense.  

I also am of counsel to Roy Eiguren Public Policy as a lobbyist-lawyer.  As a lobbyist, I represent various agricultural, telecommunications, energy, hospital, waste management and related concerns as a direct interface between my clients and administrative agencies and the legislative and executive branches of state and federal government. 

In addition to the above, I supervise and coordinate work of several associate attorneys, office staff and assist in general management and marketing of the business.
