For 50+ years, Cardon, Stuart & Associates has practiced from 3856 Washington Boulevard. We know the 2nd District Court, the Ogden Justice Court, the prosecutors, the judges, and the rhythm of every DUI calendar. Local representation isn't a marketing line — it's the practice itself.
DUI cases in Ogden are typically filed in one of two courts depending on the offense level and arresting agency. Knowing which court — and the rhythm of that court — shapes the entire defense strategy.
Most DUI cases involving prior offenses, injuries, BAC ≥ 0.16, child passengers, or felony exposure are filed here. Jury trials, suppression hearings, and felony pleas all happen at the District Court level. We appear here weekly.
First-offense DUIs filed by Ogden PD typically start here. Cases move quickly through arraignment, pretrial, and disposition. The pace creates leverage when the defense moves first — most prosecutors here are open to early-resolution discussions when the file warrants it.
A typical Ogden DUI case follows a predictable arc. Knowing the timeline lets us move at every advantage.
Ogden PD or Weber County Sheriff initiates a stop. The first 90 seconds — what's said, what's tested — define everything that follows. We pull bodycam and dashcam.
10 calendar days. The DLD hearing request goes to the Utah Driver License Division. We file by certified mail within hours of retention.
