Orem Justice Court
95 E Center Street
Most hearings virtual
Free consultation
Center Street is the city court. The county court is in Provo.
Orem Justice Court is the municipal court for Orem. If the citation, the jail release, or the court notice names Orem Justice Court, this is the court that has your case. The building is at 95 East Center Street.
Utah County Justice Court is at 151 South University Avenue, Suite 3300, in Provo. People mix the two up because both courts hear misdemeanors in Utah County. The county court hears cases from unincorporated Utah County, Cedar Hills, and Vineyard. It does not take Orem city DUI filings. If the notice prints a different address, use the notice. Cities that run their own justice courts, including Lehi, file in those courts instead.
Most first-offense DUIs in Utah are Class B misdemeanors handled in justice court. Orem Justice Court hears that docket: Class B and Class C misdemeanors that arise in the city. Some DUIs are charged more seriously. A prior DUI, an injury, or a child in the vehicle can change the classification, and those cases are filed in district court, not here. The charging paper controls. Dallin reads it before he tells you which courthouse has the file.
Read the court name, not the city you drove through
A stop near the Orem border can belong to another city or to the county. The court printed on your paperwork is the one that will call your case.
A forecast of how your case ends
Nothing here promises a dismissal, a reduction, or a particular sentence. What happens depends on the stop, the testing, and the charge that was filed.
The first setting is where Orem states the charge.
It is not the day the whole case is decided.

Confirm the caption says Orem Justice Court
Bring the citation and anything the jail or the court handed you. You should already know whether the paper says Orem Justice Court, 95 East Center Street, or Utah County Justice Court in Provo. Use the address on the notice.

Rights, then a plea or time to hire counsel
The judge advises you of your rights, including the right to a lawyer, and asks how you intend to plead. Many people plead not guilty so the case can move forward with counsel, or they ask for time to hire a lawyer before entering a plea.

Most hearings at this court are held virtually or hybrid, so many clients do not need to miss a full shift to sit on Center Street. That is how the court has been holding hearings. It is not a promise that your next date is remote. If the notice says in person, plan on the courthouse. If it is a video link, you still treat it as court: on time, somewhere quiet, citation in front of you.
The consultation itself is by phone or video. Littlefield Legal is based in Saratoga Springs and does not ask you to come in for the first conversation. Utah also runs a driver-license process on its own short timeline, separate from the criminal case. On the consult, Dallin tells you what to look for in your paperwork so that clock is not ignored while the court date is still ahead.
