Ed Strand, a former Deputy District Attorney was military trained in investigations, and has over 30 years of Criminal Law experience. He has both prosecuted and defended criminal charges. This experience has provided him with insight re defending those charged with crimes as to investigating the varied incident circumstances, evaluating the factors and developing varied solutions for thoughtful resolutions. This balance of course includes in depth discussions with clients so as to include their informed thoughts in reaching rational and well reasoned conclusions as to the best courses of response.. Ed’s life experience has given him an understanding of the apprehension of persons facing the fear and concern of their situations. He finds often people are relieved upon their initial contact to learn matters are not as dire as their imaginations have created.. Knowing the applicable laws, including defenses, evidentiary rules are important but for developing defenses and attacking state allegations more is needed. The attorney with the broader life experience will generally have more tools for understanding and competently challenging and predicting the tactics of the prosecution and their witnesses. Ed will take your telephone call and discuss your questions and concerns. He will not charge you for this time as he determines whether he could best help you or whether he will suggest other courses for your matter. These conversations will be absolutely confidently and will most probably be useful for better understanding what might be expected, including if appropriate, discussion of probable and possible responses. He will make an appointment to meet with you at a mutually selected location.

John grew up on his family's farm in Spiritwood, North Dakota, and graduated from Kindred High School in Kindred, North Dakota. He then immediately fled the abysmal winters of the Bison State for the sunny climes of Hawaii. There, he attended Hawaii Pacific University, and graduated with a degree in Marine Biology.. After graduation, he moved back to the mainland, with the intention of attending graduate school. A strange series of events led him to manage a pest control company in Portland, Oregon. From there, a car accident and a stroke of luck landed him in an attorney’s office, who eventually suggested he look into the law as a career change.. John decided to attend Lewis & Clark Law School, in Portland. During his first year of law school, he was a Pro Bono Award recipient, and received a prestigious Public Interest Law Project scholarship. He used his scholarship to work for WaterWatch of Oregon, which allowed him to protect Oregon’s water rights and to work on drafting legislation. In his second year, he was selected to join Lewis & Clark’s Jessup International Moot Court team, which won Best Brief at their regional competition and fourth place in the international rounds (the highest placing U.S. team). He also began a clerkship at Kahn & Ifversen Attorneys, LLP, where he served as a Certified Law Student and handled various criminal cases. Upon graduating he was awarded, in addition to his Juris Doctorate, a certificate in Criminal Law and Procedure.. To John, helping people through one of their most harrowing experiences gives him a great feeling of pride.  The combination of his love of helping people, and of trial practice (which he focused on in his course work) makes him an effective advocate for his clients.. In his spare time he enjoys cooking, fishing and learning to play the ukulele.

Whether you need help with criminal charges, a real estate matter, estate planning, personal injury, or guardianship, my 17 years of experience practicing law are here for you. I have the trial expertise to defend your case or draft your documents. There are few attorneys in Idaho who practice federal criminal defense and  handle appeals. I am one of the experienced who can defend a forfeiture action and appeal to the United States Supreme Court if needed.  Known as an attorney who does not back down, I handle cases in Ada County, Canyon County, Gem County, Washington County, Payette County and Adams County.. My office is located in Payette, Idaho which is central to all locations.

I consider myself an affordable, hardworking, relatable, empathetic, honest attorney. I will work as hard as I can for each of my clients. I am a Wisconsin Native, but an adopted Idahoan. I grew up in a small farming community and never dreamed that I would find myself as a lawyer. Because of this I consider myself more relatable than other attorneys. I guess my journey towards becoming an attorney began as a teenager. I got into a little bit of trouble with the law, then I straighten up but unfortunately, I still had the reputation for being a trouble maker. That stigma drove me to understand how someone could potentially be wrongfully mistreated by the justice system or even convicted of something they did not do just based on their prior history. Because of this, I decided to get my GED, go to College at BYU-Idaho and eventually, go to law school at the University of Idaho-College of Law. If anyone knows what it's like to work hard it’s me! I literally started from the ground up, first working on a farm, then working my way into a classroom.. My legal experience began the same way. I got my first job at the Canyon County Prosecutors Office out of college. I worked as an intern scanning and digitizing most of the counties large criminal and civil cases. This experience gave me the insight into hundreds of cases and how they were prosecuted (which would help me as a defense attorney). I worked my way from an intern to a legal secretary. Here I learned how to draft legal documents, interact with other attorneys and learn the procedural system of civil and criminal litigation. I got accepted into law school and then worked for Judge Junneal Kerrick as her clerk, which allowed me to meet many judges and know their specific character traits. I gained a valuable reputation there for being professional, honest, and hardworking. I then obtained good enough grades to obtain a limited license and practiced law my final year of law school at Mimura Law as a Public Defender. It was there I learned that I wanted to be a criminal defense attorney. I loved my clients, and my clients loved me. So I decided to hang out my shingle and go out on my own.. In my personal life, I have a loving and supporting wife. I couldn't be happier in my marriage. We also have three rambuncious boys. They keep us busy and on our toes. We frequently spend a lot of time outdoors, we go camping, hunting, and fishing. However, most of the time my work keeps me pretty busy.. I consider myself an affordable, determined, reliable, professional, and honest attorney who will work as hard as he can for someone else. I have been there, and I can empathize with my clients. I give them all my personal cell phone number so they can reach me at any time. That includes day or night. I feel I offer the best overall legal criminal services in Caldwell absent the Public Defender’s Office. Please feel free to call me at.
