City of Galena, Missouri Prosecution Services

Prosecutor M.J. Hurney, Attorney-at-Law, serves in various prosecution roles, including as City Prosecutor for the City of Galena.  

Out-of-court contact with the prosecutor is generally restricted to electronic communications, as described below.  Since the prosecutor may need to reach you before court, it is important you provide up-to-date contact information with your submission; this includes your cell phone number and email address.    

NOTE: Providing your contact information to the prosecutor does NOT update your contact information with the court.  It is always important to keep your contact information current with the court, as they will mail important notices to the address in their file. The court clerk is available at (417) 357-6226 if you need to update your information.

Pro-Se Litigants (Representing yourself):

First, ensure you’re reading the correct directions.  These directions are for GALENA CITY cases being held at the City Hall Courtroom, 113 E. Fourth Street in Galena, Missouri.  The charges would have been submitted by the Galena Police Department.  These are NOT directions for other jurisdictions (State, Kimberling City, other cities), as those are heard at the County Courthouse in Galena.

Second, contact with the City Prosecutor is limited to this portal.  Once your submission is made, the prosecutor will reach out as necessary.  Do NOT contact the court clerks, city hall, or county prosecutor’s office regarding offers, as they are not involved in this process.  Again, if you cannot understand these directions/options, or cannot understand the legal implications of a disposition, you need to consult a private attorney or appear in court.

Other tickets:
Pro-Se litigants have two pre-court options to contact the prosecutor, as listed below. Defendants may only make one request per case.

1. Disposition Packet Request: If your case is not “plea and pay” eligible on CaseNet and/or does not have a published fine, you may request a disposition packet. CLICK HERE for directions for obtaining a disposition packet.

OR

2. Case Evaluation Requests: If you are seeking to have your case(s) evaluated by the prosecutor and believe an agreement should be considered, the directions are available HERE (CLICK).

Meetings: Meetings with the prosecutor are available during court on a limited basis.  It is suggested that you use the links above and try to settle the matter before your court date, thus avoiding the need for an appearance and long wait.
