Provo Criminal Defense
Lawyer -
Utah County
Criminal cases in Provo, Utah can be handled through two different
systems, depending on the level of the offense.
The Provo City Justice Court has jurisdiction over infractions, class C
misdemeanors, and class C misdemeanors. Prosecutions in the
Provo City Justice Court are typically handled by the Provo City
Prosecutor. Although city prosecutors may handle cases up to
the class A misdemeanor level, class A charges must be filed in the
district court.
The Provo District Court (part of the Utah Fourth District) has general
jurisdiction over all criminal charges, ranging from infractions to
capital felonies. Felony prosecutions and some misdemeanor
prosecutions in the district court are handled by prosecutors from the
Utah County Attorney's office.
If you are facing criminal prosecution in Provo or elsewhere in Utah,
an experienced criminal defense attorney can make all the difference.
