King County Criminal Defense

Our team of attorneys regularly appear in courts throughout King County.  We are conveniently located near the King County Superior Court in Kent, which handles all felony criminal offenses occurring south of the Interstate 90 highway.  We also appear at the other King County Superior Court location, in Seattle, which handles all felony criminal offenses occurring north of the Interstate 90 highway.  

There are many different courts in King County that handle non-felony charges:

Municipal Courts

When a person is arrested by a municipal police officer, for violating a city code or ordinance, they will be charged in that same municipality's court.  However, some municipalities do not have their own court system, and they elect to contract with the King County District Court System to handle their cases.  As an example, a person arrested by the Auburn Police Department for DUI will be prosecuted in the King County District Court, since Auburn disbanded their own municipal court system.

District Courts

When a person is arrested by the a law enforcement officer with the King County Sheriff, Washington State Patrol, Department of Fish and Wildlife, or the Port of Seattle, then that person will be charged in one of the King County District Courts.  Which court the person is charged in depends on the subject matter of the criminal case, the officer's assigned area, and several other issues.

The district court locations for King County are as follows:

South Division: 1) Maleng Regional Justice Center (MRJC) in Kent; 2) Auburn Courthouse; & 3) Burien Courthouse

East Division: 1) Bellevue Courthouse; 2) Redmond Courthouse; and 3) Issaquah Courthouse.

West Division: 1) Seattle Courthouse; 2) Shoreline Courthouse.
