Serving Weiser, Idaho

Which court your case goes to

This is the first thing worth getting straight, because people regularly turn up at the wrong building. Weiser is in Washington County, which puts it in Idaho's Third Judicial District, and matters are heard at the Washington County Courthouse in Weiser, not at the Canyon County Courthouse in Caldwell.

The Canyon County Courthouse is at 1115 Albany St, Caldwell, ID 83605. The clerk's office is in Room 201 and is open weekdays 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., excluding holidays. There is a fuller guide to the building, the phone numbers, and what to bring on our Canyon County Courthouse page.

Why Weiser specifically

Sarah Chaney grew up in Weiser, so the office knows the area rather than knowing of it. Washington County also sits in the Third Judicial District, which is why the firm takes matters this far up the valley even though Weiser is a fair drive from Caldwell. In practice, local familiarity means less time spent explaining where things are and who is who, and in a small county that is worth something.

Much of the work can be done by phone and email. Ask which appearances actually require you in the room, because the drive is long enough that the answer matters.
