Hi i'm David Cantor at the Law Offices of David Michael Cantor.
Today I'm going to talk about the West Mesa Justice Court. If you received a DUI
or misdemeanor
criminal citation and were told to go to the West Mesa Justice Court,
that means you were stopped by DPS or the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office.
If you were stopped by a city cop, you should have been sent to city court. Now the
jurisdictional boundaries for this particular court
are Doubletree Ranch Road to the north, Southern Ave. to the south,
Country Club to the east, and Pima to the west. Now this sounds like it'd be a
perfect
rectangle but it's not, this particular Justice Court actually has two separate
islands of land and that's why it's important if you're stopped in that
jurisdiction you come in and see us
because if you really were stopped between the two Islands of land, you have a
defense to get the whole case thrown out.
This is an actual map of the jurisdictional area for West Mesa
Justice Court. See these two separate islands of land here?
Now the actual court address is at 2050 West University Drive.
That's basically University Street and Dobson Road in Mesa.
If you go there, parking is gonna be plentiful,
make sure you dress appropriately no flip-flops, shorts, no tank tops, no
baseball hats or sunglasses.
The judge in that court is Mark Anderson. I found him to be state
oriented but he will shut down a prosecutors who's out of line.
Now what you need to know about most of the justice of the peace,
or the JP's is most of them aren't lawyers. They won an election,
a popularity contest, they're given six weeks of training
in law and they were told they could judge people. Could you imagine that person
being elected as your doctor
who then got six weeks of training and was told they could give you medication?
That's scary. So if you were charged with a DUI or misdemeanor criminal offense and
told to go to the
West Mesa Justice Court, give us a call to set up a free initial consultation.
We'll meet with you, it won't cost you anything, take about 30 minutes your time.
We'll go over your case with you from top to bottom and hopefully we'll find a way out
of this charge for you.
Now if the situation applies to you I look forward
to hearing from you soon, take care.
