David Cannon

Criminal Defense Attorney

I have 29+ years of experience in criminal law. I’ve represented hundreds of people who have been charged with everything from traffic violations to first-degree murder.

I understand your:

  • Constitutional Rights
  • Idaho criminal statutes
  • Idaho criminal procedure
  • Idaho rules of evidence

"I'm eager to apply my knowledge and experience to fight for a “Not Guilty” verdict for you!"

I know how to successfully negotiate. I am eager to apply my knowledge and experience to win your case through successful negotiations!

I went to the University of Utah Law School in 1992. I immediately demonstrated a grasp of criminal law, earning the Corpus Juris Secundum Award, presented to the top student in the class, in Criminal Law for 1992-93. Upon graduating in 1995, I began practicing in criminal law, and have been doing so ever since.

Along the way, I have successfully represented hundreds of clients. In some cases, I have convinced the prosecutor to dismiss charges. In others, I have negotiated felonies down to misdemeanors or otherwise made the best of a bad situation. In still others, I’ve battled to a “Not Guilty” verdict in court trials and in jury trials.

I currently serve in the Idaho House of Representatives, where I try to improve criminal justice through legislation.

I have worked as an attorney in criminal law for more than twenty-nine years.

I’ve represented hundreds of people charged with anything and everything: from traffic citations to first-degree murder.

I am married and have four grown children (and eight grandchildren!).

I have a passion for athletics and for competition. I play basketball, tennis and disc golf, and I run.

I ran in the Boston Marathon in 2017, after qualifying by completing my first-ever marathon in 3:20:31.

My competitive nature is an asset to me as a criminal defense attorney. It will be an asset for you, too. I love to compete!

I will use that competitive nature to help you get to “Not Guilty!”
