Going to court in Caswell County
Every Caswell County criminal and family case runs through one building, the courthouse at 139 East Church Street in Yanceyville. The prosecutors who handle those cases work out of Wentworth, the Rockingham County seat, because Caswell and Rockingham together make up Prosecutorial District 22. With one office and one set of judges serving both counties, Caswell calendars are less frequent than in a large county, and a continued case can wait weeks for its next date.
Caswell borders Virginia, and Danville, Burlington, and Greensboro are all within driving distance. If you also have a case in Virginia or another North Carolina county, tell your lawyer at the start so the cases can be planned together.
What happens after an arrest in Caswell County
- Arrest and release. After an arrest by the Caswell County Sheriff or the State Highway Patrol, a magistrate sets release conditions. Call us that day if the charge is DWI, because license deadlines start right away.
- First court date. Misdemeanor, DWI, and felony first appearances are set in Caswell County District Court. Check the eCourts Portal for the courtroom.

Criminal charges we defend in Caswell County
Family law in Caswell County
Caswell County family cases, including divorce, custody, child support, alimony, and equitable distribution, are filed in District Court. Contested custody cases generally go to the state custody mediation program before a judge decides them. Families in Yanceyville and Milton often have one parent working in Danville or the Triad, so set custody exchange times and meeting places that match the real drive. Equitable distribution claims must be filed before an absolute divorce is granted or they can be lost.

Who prosecutes criminal cases in Caswell County?
The District Attorney for Prosecutorial District 22 prosecutes criminal cases in Caswell County. District 22 covers Caswell and Rockingham Counties. Your lawyer negotiates with the assistant district attorney assigned to your courtroom about dismissal, reduced charges, deferred prosecution, or a plea, and prepares the case for trial if no fair offer comes.
What happens if I miss court in Caswell County?
The judge can issue an order for your arrest. For a motor vehicle charge, G.S. 20-24.1 also allows a license revocation that takes effect 60 days after notice unless the case is resolved. District 22 judges and prosecutors split their time with Rockingham County, so a new Caswell date may not come up soon. Call a lawyer right away; the order can sometimes be recalled and the case reset.
