DUI & criminal defense in Farmington.

Farmington is the county seat — the courts, the jail and the county attorney are all here — and yet the city itself runs no justice court.

II. Local Knowledge

Farmington cases, up close.

Four things that actually matter about defending a case from this city.

01

The county seat without its own court

Farmington City is served by the Davis County Justice Court, which sits in the Davis Justice Complex at 800 West State Street. The city’s own site says so plainly, and people still arrive expecting a Farmington city court.

02

Everything Davis County is at one address

County justice court, Second District Court, and the Davis County Correctional Facility all share 800 West State Street. Convenient, and a reliable source of confusion about which door to walk through.

03

Lagoon and event traffic

Seasonal event traffic through Farmington produces a predictable enforcement pattern on the corridor, concentrated on summer weekends and closing time.

04

Farmington PD and UHP both work here

A UHP stop on I-15 through Farmington is a different case from a city stop — more often a blood draw, which opens lab and chain-of-custody defenses.

III. How We Work

What happens when you call.

The same four steps on every file, whatever city it came from.

01

Attorney-reviewed from the first call

Our staff answers around the clock and your case goes straight to Brady or Kelly for a free case assessment. No intake queue, no waiting until morning.

02

The DLD hearing filed the day we are retained

Before anything else. The request costs nothing and preserves the license while the case develops. See the 10-day rule.

03

Evidence preserved inside 24 hours

Preservation letters go to the citing agency for dashcam, body camera, dispatch audio and breath-instrument calibration logs, before routine retention schedules delete them.

04

An honest fee, stated up front

A flat fee for the scope of work, agreed before you retain us. No hourly surprises on a criminal defense file.

Common questions.

Which court hears Farmington DUI cases?
Davis County Justice Court at 800 W State Street, Farmington handles class B and C misdemeanors. Felonies and class A misdemeanors are filed in the Second District Court.
Where will I be booked if I am arrested in Farmington?
The Davis County jail, regardless of which agency made the arrest. City police departments do not hold people overnight.
Do you actually appear in Farmington?
Yes. Farmington is ~20 miles south of our office at 3856 Washington Blvd in Ogden, and we appear on these calendars regularly. Brady or Kelly handles the appearance personally — not a junior associate.
How fast do I need to act?
On a DUI, within ten calendar days of the arrest. That is the deadline to request a Driver License Division hearing, and it runs from the arrest date whatever the court does. Missing it suspends the license administratively with no hearing at all.
