Uintah Justice Court Information
The Uintah Justice Court has jurisdiction over most misdemeanor charges that take place inside the borders of Uintah, Utah. But the court's jurisdiction is limited to class B misdemeanors, class C misdemeanors, and infractions. More serious charges (felonies and class A misdemeanors) must be heard in the Ogden District Court.While the Uintah Justice Court's jurisdiciton is limited to lower-level misdemeanors, the penalties and consequences for these charges can still be serious. A class B misdemeanor is punishable by up to 180 days jail and almost $2,000 in fines (including surcharge). The potential penalties for a class C misdemeanor are roughly half that of a class B misdemeanor. In addition to jail time and fines, a justice court conviction can have other consequences such as loss of a driver license, loss of the right to carry a firearm, and probation conditions that can include drug treatment, drug testing, domestic violence counseling, community services, and a variety of other requirements.
Even a misdemeanor case must be taken seriously. The prosecutors in most justice courts have received special training focused on obtaining convictions when appropriate. The procedural and substantive rules and statutes governing a criminal case can be complex and confusing. In defending against a justice court criminal prosecution, you will be going up against a professional who is representing the government. You need a professional on your side.

Crimes
- Selected Victories
Not Guilty - Client was charged with aggravated assault for alleged attack using broken bottle as a weapon. Despite the testimony of numerous prosecution witnesses, thorough defense investigation to support a self-defense claim resulted in acquittal by jury at trial.
Dismissed -
Client was facing multiple cases involving first-degree felony drug distribution charges for allegedly selling to a confidential informant. Defense analysis of the case revealed fatal flaws in the prosecution case that ultimately resulted in a complete dismissal of all cases and charges.
2-Step Reduction - Client needed a two-step reduction to bring a prior conviction to the misdemeanor level. Collection of substantial evidence of reform and rehabilitation convinced a normally reluctant prosecutor to stipulate to the defense 402 reduction motion.
Probation - Client
charged with aggravated robbery based on allegations he entered a store with a gun and mask and demanded cash. Client confessed to police before hiring a defense attorney. Defense mitigation efforts resulted in a negotiated resolution that removed life in prison as a possibility, and secured a probation sentence from the court.
