About the Desert Ridge Justice Court and presiding Judge:

This is an important point in your case. You must be arrested within the boundaries of the Desert Ridge community to go to the Desert Ridge Justice Court. The Desert Ridge jurisdiction is marked by Union Hills to the South, East Desert Mountain Way to the East and New River Road to the West.

If you check out a physical map of the boundaries, you will notice that the boundary line travels around. Frankly, the border is all over the map. The question is: Were you cited in the proper jurisdiction for the Desert Ridge Justice Court. When looking at your case, that is one of the questions that our firm is interested in.

When appearing in court, it is important to make a positive impression, so dress appropriately. Cathy Riggs is a seasoned legal professional serving as a respected justice of peace at the Desert Ridge Justice Court. She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the bench.

Her dedication to the legal system and her community has earned her admiration from peers and litigants alike.

However, you must remember that most Justices of the Peace are not lawyers. They did not go to law school. They are elected to the office of Justice of the Peace, plain and simple. This can be compared to taking an untrained but elected person and giving them six weeks of surgery training before allowing them to do surgery on you.
