Court office hours are: Monday – Thursday 7:30 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. and Friday 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. A judge is not available during these hours, nor is the prosecutor. We do not have walk-in hearings. Hearings are held for all defendants on Thursdays only, and you must be listed on the docket for a particular date to be heard.
