Plain City Justice Court Information

The Plain City Justice Court has jurisdiction over class C and class B misdemeanor charges that take place inside the borders of Plain City, Utah. Misdemeanor charges often handled in Utah's justice court system include DUI, domestic violence, criminal mischief, assault, shoplifting, drug charges, and most traffic matters. Under Utah law, class C misdemeanors are punishable by up to 90 days jail and class B misdemeanors carry a potential of up to 180 days jail.

Consequences of a criminal conviction can include much more than just jail time. The court may require payment of substantial fines and restitution. If you are granted the opportunity of probation, the court can require completion of a treatment program, counseling, drug testing, electronic monitoring or house arrest, community service, and other relevant conditions. Collateral consequences can include losing your driver license, restrictions on your right to own or carry a firearm, and more. Certain justice court convictions can result in enhanced penalties for future charges, turning what would have been a misdemeanor offense into a serious felony charge.

Being prosecuted for a criminal charge in one of Utah's justice courts is something that should be taken seriously. Seeking the assistance of an experienced criminal defense attorney can help give you the best chance of a successful outcome. Contact us today to see how we can help you.
