How Criminal Cases Work in Upper Marlboro
The District Court and Circuit Court facilities are at 14735 Main Street, Upper Marlboro, MD 20772. A misdemeanor may proceed in District Court, while felony and jury-trial procedures can place a matter in Circuit Court. The charging papers and hearing notice control the courthouse, room, date, and time. Do not assume that every Prince George's County case is scheduled in Upper Marlboro because the county also has a District Court location in Hyattsville.
If a loved one is being held, confirm the custody and court records before relying on a general schedule. The PG County bail-process guide and bail review page explain the available preparation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a lawyer for a misdemeanor in Upper Marlboro?
Yes. Misdemeanors can carry real jail time. Second degree assault alone carries up to 10 years, and a conviction stays on your record unless you later qualify for expungement.
Can my charges be dismissed?
Possibly. It depends on the charge, evidence, and procedure. Review may include the stop, search, statements, recordings, witnesses, and whether the State can prove every element.
Is your office really near the courthouse?
Yes. Our Upper Marlboro office is at 14513 Main Street, Suite B, a short walk from both the District Court and the Circuit Court for Prince George's County.
