District Court vs. Circuit Court

In general, the district court presides over traffic cases and misdemeanors and the circuit court hears felony cases. Felony cases tend to originate in the district court at a preliminary hearing (though they can be directly indicted) and are transferred to Circuit Court if probable cause is found during the preliminary hearing and if the grand jury chooses to indict. The Baldani Law Office’s Carlisle Criminal Defense Lawyers defend cases in both Nicholas District and Circuit courts. Nicholas County is in the 18th District Court District. The other district courts in this district are in Pendleton, Harrison, and Robertson counties.
