25+ years of uncompromising legal excellence in the heart of Boise, Idaho
In 1998, Jonathan B. Gilchrist founded this firm with a simple conviction: that every person — regardless of wealth or status — deserves world-class legal representation.
Starting with a two-attorney office in downtown Boise, the firm grew through relentless dedication to client outcomes. Word spread quickly. Families referred families. Businesses referred businesses. Today, Gilchrist Law Firm is Idaho's most recognized full-service practice, with 15+ attorneys across 12 areas of law.
Our downtown location at the corner of N 9th St. and W Jefferson St. — steps from Boise's vibrant 8th Street — reflects our roots. We are a Boise firm, through and through. Proudly Idaho. Fiercely independent. Unapologetically on your side.
