Scales in Courtroom

Wrongdoings Transferred To Superior Court

Criminal complaints that may be initiated in municipal court may also be transferred to a superior court, depending on the facts and circumstances of your case. Specific examples by our law group include non-DWI traffic offenses that result in DWI charges or assault charges that are upgraded to an aggravated assault. It's also common for a theft crime to be elevated to a more serious charge.

Securing Defense

Our knowledgeable criminal defense attorneys understand that although the case may be transferred to a superior court, the defendant may have to appear in municipal court for resolution and transfer of the case. We can help with these and other public entity and municipality litigation cases.
