Springville Justice Court
110 S Main Street, 1st floor
Class B, Class C, infractions
Most hearings by Webex
This is the court for Springville's Class B and Class C cases.
Under Utah Code 78A-7-106, a justice court has original jurisdiction over Class B and Class C misdemeanors, violations of ordinances, and infractions committed inside its territory by someone 18 or older. That is the docket people mean when they look up Springville Justice Court. A Class A misdemeanor or a felony is a different filing. The charging document names the courthouse.
Springville's city prosecutor prosecutes infractions and Class B and Class C misdemeanors committed in Springville. The same office says Class A misdemeanors and felonies are prosecuted by the Utah County Attorney. Dallin reads the caption before he tells you which calendar you are on.

Match the caption to Springville Justice Court
Bring the citation or release paperwork. The court name should say Springville Justice Court, at 110 South Main Street, if this is your file. A Provo, Orem, or Payson caption is a different court.

Rights, then a plea or time to hire counsel
Arraignment is where the court tells you the charge and your rights, including the right to a lawyer. A common path is to plead not guilty, or to ask for time to hire a lawyer, and to come back once the defense is underway. For a video arraignment, the court orders you to submit its forms before the hearing and to watch its rights video. Those forms can go to jcspringville@utcourts.gov.

The next date is often a pretrial
After arraignment, the case usually comes back for a pretrial. That setting is a chance to discuss the charge, the evidence, and what happens next. It is not a trial, and it is not a promise of a deal. The notice names the setting. Dallin goes over what that date is for before you appear.

Call or text (435) 294-6806Most hearings are remote. Some are on Main Street.
The court's video-hearings page says most hearings are currently held remotely on Webex. The link is emailed to you. Small claims and bench trials are held in person. Counsel, parties, and witnesses need a working camera and microphone, on a laptop, tablet, or phone, and a stable connection. If evidence will be taken, the court asks for two paper copies of the exhibits at least seven days before the hearing.
A remote hearing is still a hearing. Be on time, somewhere quiet, with the citation in front of you. If the notice says to come to 110 South Main, the clerks are on the first floor. The court home page also describes remote Webex hearings and says a Spanish interpreter is available on Webex on request. Your notice is the instruction for your date.
The consultation itself is by phone or video. Littlefield Legal is based in Saratoga Springs and has no walk-in office. You do not travel there for the first conversation.
Class B and Class C cases Dallin defends in this court.
These are the kinds of adult misdemeanors and infractions a Utah justice court has jurisdiction to hear. The citation, not a guess from the neighborhood, decides the file.
Most first offenses are Class B
Most first-offense DUIs in Utah are Class B misdemeanors handled in justice court. A prior DUI, an injury, or a child in the vehicle can change the classification, and those cases are filed in district court. Springville DUI defense
Shoplifting under the retail-theft statute
Retail theft under $500, with none of the statute's enhancers, is a Class B misdemeanor. At $500 the charge moves up and can leave justice court. Shoplifting · Theft
Possession that stays a misdemeanor
Drug and marijuana possession charges that are filed as Class B or Class C misdemeanors can be on this calendar. Distribution and higher counts are a different court. Drug possession · Marijuana
Reckless driving and infractions
Reckless driving and other traffic misdemeanors, plus infractions, are part of what this court hears when the caption names it. Reckless driving
Plea in abeyance, diversion, a reduced charge, expungement.
Each of these is a possibility the law allows. None of them is a result Dallin can promise before he has the charging document and the facts.
A plea in abeyance under Utah Code 77-2a-2 starts with a motion by both the prosecutor and the defendant, after a guilty or no-contest plea and before judgment. The court decides whether to hold the plea and not enter judgment while conditions are pending. If the conditions are finished, the agreement can provide for a dismissal, a reduction, or, in a narrow problem-solving-court path, an expungement order. The prosecutor has to be part of the motion.
Diversion under Utah Code 77-2-5 is a written agreement with the prosecuting attorney, filed with the court, and it needs the court's approval. It is available after prosecution starts and before conviction. It is the prosecutor's agreement to offer, not a program the court hands out on its own.
A reduced charge depends on the value, the evidence, the prior record, and what the prosecutor will accept. Expungement is a later case under Title 77, Chapter 40a. Justice courts have jurisdiction over those petitions when the statute says they do. Eligibility depends on how this case ends and on the rest of the record. The file is not sealed the day court ends. The Utah Courts penalty chart lists the maximums for a Class B, a Class C, and an infraction. Maximums are not a forecast.
