Going to court in Granville County
The court says disabled access is through the Courthouse Annex on Williamsboro Street, next to the main courthouse, with an elevator to the right of the entrance. Plan that route ahead of time if anyone in your group needs it.
Granville sits along I-85 between Durham and the Virginia line, and Butner and Creedmoor are growing as Triangle commuter towns. Interstate stops make up a large share of DWI and drug cases. District 11 prosecutors cover five counties, so schedules can shift, and a lawyer who tracks the calendar helps.
What happens after an arrest in Granville County
- Arrest and release. After an arrest by Oxford or Creedmoor Police, Butner Public Safety, the Granville 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 Granville County District Court. Check the eCourts Portal for the courtroom.
- Negotiation with District 11. We review the reports, video, and lab work and negotiate with the District 11 prosecutors assigned to your case.
- Trial or Superior Court. Misdemeanors are tried before a District Court judge, with a right to appeal for a jury trial. Felonies move to Superior Court in Oxford after indictment.
If you or a family member was just arrested, call (919) 925-4613 now. Have the person’s full name, date of birth, and the charge from the paperwork ready.
