Before Your Appearance
Local Details
That Matter.
A Continuance Requires More Than a Calendar Conflict
Carver's visitor page publishes a specific continuance policy. It calls for a written request before the court date, an explanation and service on other parties, information about earlier postponements, and a proposed date. Review the current policy before asking to change a hearing.
A request is not an approval. Keep the existing appearance on your calendar unless the court grants a change. If counsel is being retained close to a hearing, bring the notice promptly so the team can assess preparation needs and any request.
Official Court InformationIdentify Whether You Are Contesting a Citation or Facing a Charge
Carver's official visitor page links to a hearing-officer appointment process for contesting citations. That administrative path should not be confused with every type of criminal appearance. Read the citation or complaint and keep any instructions for responding.
Before paying, contesting, or making statements about an allegation, understand what the document requires and what you want to challenge. Our team can review traffic allegations and other charges, explain the scope of available representation, and identify the records needed.
Official Court InformationFocused Representation
The Legal Work
Your Case Requires.
Minnesota law supplies the legal framework; the county guide helps with the place and process. Explore the relevant service for a fuller discussion of the allegation and the evidence.
DWI & DUI Defense
Review the traffic stop, testing, criminal allegations, and separate driver's-license paperwork. Keep the actual notices and receipt dates available.
Traffic Tickets & Driving Offenses
Understand the citation and response instructions before deciding what to do. Discuss the allegation, your driving concerns, and the work required to contest it.
Probation Violations
Review the violation report and the terms of the existing sentence. If a new charge is pending too, keep both court files and their hearing notices organized.
Assault & Domestic Allegations
Examine witness accounts, recordings, injuries, and the circumstances of the allegation. Review any no-contact order or release conditions while the case is pending.
Your Next Court Date
Find the Hearing.
Confirm the Details.
Use Carver's own calendar for a case pending in Chaska. Sharing the First Judicial District with Scott and Dakota counties does not mean the hearing will occur in those counties.
Start with the Notice
Have the court file number and the most recent hearing notice. Check the date, time, building, courtroom, and whether the appearance is remote.
Use Official Records
Check the county court page and Minnesota Court Records Online (MCRO). Search by file number where possible and verify that you selected the correct county.
Resolve a Conflict
Public listings can be incomplete or change. A missing entry does not cancel a hearing. Confirm uncertainty with your attorney or court administration before the appearance.

Carver County
Questions & Answers.
Where Is the Carver County Courthouse?
The Carver County Justice Center is at 604 East Fourth Street in Chaska. Confirm the courtroom and appearance format on the latest notice. The court's visitor page provides directions and parking information.
Can I Change My Court Date by Calling?
Do not assume a call changes the hearing. Carver publishes a written-request procedure for continuances, including an explanation, service, and scheduling information. Follow the current court policy and attend as scheduled unless a change is granted.
Is Parking Available at the Chaska Justice Center?
The court reports free surface-lot and street parking unless otherwise posted. Follow current signs and allow time for security and locating the courtroom. Verify special access needs with court administration in advance.
Can You Help Me Contest a Traffic Ticket?
The firm handles traffic matters as well as more serious criminal charges. Keep the complete citation and any response instructions. Our team can discuss the allegation, your objectives, and the proposed scope and fee.
Does a Probation Allegation Replace a New Criminal Case?
No. A probation matter concerns an existing sentence, while an alleged new crime can have a separate case. Bring both the violation report and any new charging paperwork so the team can evaluate the work required.
