Karin Sowieja
Criminal Defense Attorney
Karin's primary focus is representing the rights of the accused. She defends clients in all manners of offenses from misdemeanors to felonies. As a former prosecutor, Karin has significant court room experience and knows how to effectively challenge the State's evidence and try a case before a jury. She strives to help you navigate the complexities of the legal system with confidence.
As a first generation American, Karin has a special appreciation for the rights and freedoms that many Americans often take for granted. The American legal system is rather unique, especially considering the fact that we are guaranteed the right to a trial by jury both by the Federal and State Constitution of Idaho—a right not afforded to everyone around the world. As such, Karin makes it a priority to protect the rights and freedom of her clients who are facing criminal charges.
Karin always knew from a young age that she wanted to be an attorney. She loves being in court and she loves working with people on a daily basis.
​
Karin graduated from the University of Idaho College of Law. During her time as a law student, she was the president of the Federalist Society and received a CALI Excellence award in both First Amendment Law and Copyrights Law. Prior to attending law school, Karin graduated cum laude from the University of Georgia with a bachelor's degree in Communication Studies.
