Ogden City Justice Court Information

May 20, 2023 By Stephen Howard


The Ogden Justice Court has jurisdiction over class C and class B misdemeanor level charges that occur within the borders of Ogden, Utah. Class C and Class B misdemeanor charges can include minor speeding tickets, or more serious charges for domestic violence, DUI, drug charges, and theft. A class C misdemeanor can result in up to 90 days in the Weber County jail, and a class B misdemeanor carries the potential of up to 180 days in jail.



Along with the potential time in jail, there are fines and other collateral consequences of a conviction in a justice court that can include losing your driver’s license or your right to own and possess firearms. Some justice court convictions can also be used as an enhancement for subsequent felony charges. So, despite being “just” a misdemeanor, these cases should be taken very seriously. Having the assistance of an experienced criminal attorney can give you the best chance of achieving a successful outcome.

Contact Information for the Ogden Justice Court

The physical and mailing address for the Ogden Justice Court is 310 26th Street, Ogden, UT 84401. The phone number for the court is 801-629-8560.

Other Courts in Weber County

Weber County does not operate its own justice court, but several other city justice courts handle misdemeanor cases in Weber County. These include: Farr West, Harrisville, North Ogden, Ogden, Plain City, Pleasant View, Riverdale, Roy, South Ogden, Uintah, and Washington Terrace.

    Unreasonable Search and Seizure
    Fourth Amendment Suppression Issues in UtahThe touchstone of Fourth Amendment case law is the concept of "reasonableness." The United States Constitution's Bill of Rights provides protections against "unreasonable searches and seizures." But society's standards of reasonableness are constantly changing and evolving. Things that today are accepted as normal were once not tolerated; and things that we no longer tolerate were once seen as normal. Many of these societal changes are good. But we must, from time to time, stop to evaluate and assess how our society has changed and what kind of police and government conduct we are willing to…

    Utah Criminal Defense Attorney Wins

    Client charged with felony aggravated assault for using broken bottle as a weapon. Defense case focused on self-defense, resulting in not guilty verdict by the jury at trial.

    While represented by a different attorney, client was convicted of DUI by jury at trial. Mr. Howard filed an appeal challenging the district court’s denial of a motion to suppress. Appellate court reversed the trial court and the case was dismissed.

    Client faced first-degree felony charges for selling drugs to undercover police officer. Mitigating evidence gathered by defense relating to client’s youth, family support, treatment options, and lack of prior history was pivotal in convincing prosecutor to allow an abeyance agreement to a single misdemeanor count. Case was ultimately dismissed.
