Experienced. Dedicated. Relentless.
Each attorney at Gilchrist brings unique expertise and a shared commitment to one goal: your success.
Jonathan B. Gilchrist
Jonathan founded Gilchrist Law Firm in 1998 with one unwavering conviction: that every person deserves world-class legal representation. With over 25 years at the helm, he has personally recovered over $30 million for Idaho clients and has been recognized repeatedly as one of Idaho's most accomplished trial attorneys.
Sarah M. Thompson
Sarah joined as partner in 2003 and has since become one of the most respected family law attorneys in the state. Her compassionate approach paired with fierce courtroom advocacy has helped hundreds of Idaho families protect their children and secure fair outcomes in the most difficult circumstances imaginable.
Michael R. Chen
Before joining Gilchrist, Michael spent eight years as a prosecutor for Ada County. That insider knowledge of how charges are built — and where they can be dismantled — makes him one of the most effective criminal defense attorneys in Idaho. His record includes dozens of acquittals and hundreds of reduced charges.
Emily K. Rodriguez
Emily's dual expertise in law and technology makes her uniquely suited to advise Idaho's growing technology, agriculture-tech, and startup sectors. She has helped dozens of Idaho companies launch, protect their innovations, close funding rounds, and navigate complex commercial disputes.
David A. Morrison
David's background is unusual and extraordinarily valuable: he completed two years of medical school before earning his law degree. This gives him the rare ability to dissect complex medical evidence, identify clinical failures, and articulate them persuasively to judges and juries — an advantage that translates directly into higher recoveries for his clients.
Lisa J. Park
Fluent in English, Spanish, Korean, and Mandarin, Lisa brings both linguistic and cultural fluency to Idaho's most diverse immigration practice. She has successfully represented hundreds of families and employers in immigration matters ranging from simple visa renewals to complex deportation defense before the immigration courts.
Robert T. Walsh
Robert focuses on the intersection of real property and financial distress law — helping Idaho homeowners, landlords, and commercial property owners navigate transactions, disputes, and the bankruptcy process when debt becomes overwhelming. He is known for creative legal solutions that protect his clients' most important assets.
Angela M. Pierce
Angela is a fierce advocate for Idaho workers whose rights have been violated. She has litigated discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and wage theft cases against employers of every size — from local small businesses to Fortune 500 companies operating in Idaho — consistently delivering exceptional outcomes.
