Glendale City Court

What this court handles

Misdemeanors committed in Glendale — DUI, domestic violence, assault, shoplifting, criminal traffic — plus civil traffic, code violations, and orders of protection. Felonies proceed to the Superior Court.

Getting there

The court is at 5711 W Glendale Ave in the downtown Glendale civic complex, with public parking adjacent. Security screening is required; bring photo ID and your citation or release paperwork.

Looking up your case

Case information, payments, and court dates run through the court’s pages on glendaleaz.com or by phone at (623) 930-2400. Missed court dates generate warrants and license suspensions — both are cheaper to fix early.

Before your court date

A stadium-night arrest often looks worse on paper than it was — and sometimes the reverse. Either way, the arraignment is not the place to find out alone. A criminal defense attorney can evaluate the case, appear for you where permitted, and pursue diversion or reduction before anything becomes permanent.
