Before Your Appearance
Local Details
That Matter.
Use the Court'S Criminal and Traffic Contacts
The official Washington County contact page distinguishes Criminal and Traffic from general administration, records, and other divisions. It lists (651) 413-8133 for Criminal and Traffic and (651) 413-8030 as the main number.
Keep the case number available when asking about an appearance or a document. Questions about whether to plead, contest evidence, or pursue another remedy belong in a conversation with your attorney. Our team can assess the paperwork before discussing a proposed engagement.
Official Court InformationUse Your Case Listing, Not a Judge'S on-Call Schedule
Washington's calendar page contains both public hearing information and administrative scheduling information. A list identifying the judge assigned to time-sensitive charging matters is not your personal hearing notice. Find the actual case listing and match the court file number.
The public calendar can omit confidential or otherwise unavailable matters. A missing listing does not establish that an appearance was canceled. Courtroom displays and court administration can clarify changes when the public listing and your notice do not match.

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.
Criminal Protective-Order Violations
Review the actual order, notice, and alleged conduct. A criminal allegation of violating an order is separate from the underlying civil order proceeding.
Firearm & Weapons Charges
Address the actual criminal accusation and claimed possession restriction. Criminal-charge defense is distinct from restoration of rights or a permit-denial appeal.
Theft & Shoplifting
Review identification, alleged intent, value, store or property records, and available video. Discuss the effect of the accusation on work and your record.
Your Next Court Date
Find the Hearing.
Confirm the Details.
Read the public court calendar for case hearings, rather than relying on the separate criminal e-charging judge information on the county's calendar page.
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.
Before We Talk
Prepare for A
Useful Consultation.
Start with the general issue and the next date. You do not need every record to make an initial inquiry. Keep these documents available so our team can identify the posture of the case.
Fees, scope, and available payment arrangements are discussed before an engagement. Flat-fee options and payment plans may be available when appropriate.
- Citation, complaint, or other charging document.
- Court file number and current hearing notice.
- Release conditions and protective or no-contact orders.
- Probation report and original sentencing conditions, if relevant.
- Driver's-license notice or firearm-permit decision, if relevant.
- Your immediate concerns about custody, work, driving, or upcoming dates.
Do not send confidential evidence or detailed case narratives through the initial form. After screening, the team can arrange an appropriate way to exchange records.
Common Questions
Washington County
Questions & Answers.
Where Is Washington County Criminal Court?
The Washington County Courthouse is at 14949 62nd Street North in Stillwater. Check the latest notice for the hearing's location, courtroom, and appearance format rather than relying on a map result or the landmark photo.
Is the Criminal E-Charging Judge List My Court Schedule?
No. That administrative list identifies a judge for charging-related work. Use your case's hearing notice and the public court calendar for an appearance, and confirm uncertainty with the court.
Who Can Answer Questions About a Washington County Criminal File?
The court lists (651) 413-8133 for Criminal and Traffic and (651) 413-8030 as its main line. Court staff can address administrative questions. Call Rob Doar Law at 763-762-3529 to discuss legal representation.
Can a Firearm Charge and a Permit Denial Require Different Work?
Yes. Defending an alleged crime, reviewing an agency's permit decision, and pursuing restoration of an underlying right are distinct tasks. Bring the actual complaint and any denial letter so the team can identify the issues.
Do I Need to Live in Stillwater to Ask for Help?
No. The firm evaluates Washington County matters from people in Woodbury, Cottage Grove, Forest Lake, and elsewhere. Tell us where the case is pending and the next date; the courthouse location is separate from where you live.
