Newport – 5th Circuit District Court

Is your case in the 5th Circuit – District Division – Newport Court, commonly known as the Newport District Court?

This Court handles criminal, DWI and other motor vehicle cases prosecuted by the towns of Newport, Croyden, Goshen, Grantham, Lempster, New London, Newbury, Sunapee, Springfield, Washington, and Wilmot.

Richard Guerriero and Ted Lothstein have handled many criminal and DWI cases in this Court. We have also successfully handled restraining order cases in the Newport Family Court.

Prosecuting attorneys from the Merrimack County Attorney’s Office prosecute some misdemeanor cases and DWI cases for the New London Police Department. Other towns use their police chief or police prosecutor to prosecute cases here. State Troopers tend to prosecute their own cases here but can call in a prosecuting attorney for a contested case.
