About Robert P
Robert P Tilley holds degrees in history and economics from Boise State University and earned his law degree from the University of New Mexico. He completed a B.A. in Economics before returning to Boise State for an M.A. in History. His academic path combined social science and legal training, a mix that would shape the way he approaches cases and courtroom strategy.
Tilley began practicing law in 2002, concentrating on criminal defense. He has been admitted to practice in Idaho and before the Federal Circuit. Early in his career he took on state criminal matters and gradually expanded his practice to address a range of defense issues, building experience in both trial-level work and appellate filings.
Throughout his career he has maintained memberships in professional organizations that relate to his work. He is a member of the Idaho Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the Idaho Bar Association and the American Bar Association. Those memberships have kept him connected to developments in criminal law and procedure, and to peers who practice in similar fields.
Tilley runs the Tilley Law Office. He handles matters on behalf of people accused of crimes in Idaho. His caseload has included representation at different stages, from arraignments and plea negotiations through trial and post-conviction proceedings. Appearing in state courts is central to his practice, and his admission to the Federal Circuit reflects a readiness to engage in appellate work as needed.
Colleagues and clients describe him as methodical in preparing cases and direct in court. He draws on his background in history and economics when evaluating evidence and constructing defenses, and he emphasizes clear explanation of legal options to the people he represents. He continues to serve clients through the Tilley Law Office, practicing criminal defense in Idaho and cases that may involve federal appellate considerations.
He currently practices criminal defense at Tilley Law Office.
