SPRINGBORO MAYOR’S COURT
Some Ohio municipalities have created Mayor’s Courts, as authorized by the Ohio Revised Code. These Courts hear traffic cases, OVI (or DUI), DUS, and other misdemeanors.
The Springboro Police Department or Warren County Sheriff can cite first time offenders into the Springboro, Ohio Mayor’s Court. Mayor’s Courts are not courts of record, and a Defendant has the automatic right to appeal the case, regardless of the result. If a Defendant is not pleased with how the case was resolved in Springboro Mayor’s Court, the case can start over in the Warren County Court. It is like getting two bites at the apple, which can be a great advantage to the defense.
When charged with an offense in Springboro Mayor’s Court, it is especially important to retain a local attorney who has experience working in these types of Courts. Because these Courts are not official, the procedures and formalities can vary greatly, especially compared to County or Municipal Courts.
Springboro Mayor’s Court is located at 320 W. Cental Avenue, Springboro, Ohio 45066. Court is held every Wednesday, beginning at 9:00 a.m. Be sure to check your ticket to ensure the proper date and time to appear in Court.
