Where an anger management order comes from in Lake Havasu City
Most people who search for a class here have a piece of paper from one of three courtrooms, and two of them sit in the same building. The Lake Havasu Justice Court is in Suite 148 at 2001 College Drive. Its own page, cited below, gives separate phone extensions for orders of protection, pending felony cases, pending misdemeanor cases and post-sentencing misdemeanor cases. If your case is already over and you were sentenced on a misdemeanor, that last extension is the one that tracks what you still owe the court, including a class.
Mohave County Superior Court also runs a Lake Havasu City office at the same College Drive address. The court's office list shows it open weekdays with a midday break, from 8:30 to noon and again from 1:30 to 4:30. Plan any paperwork drop-off around that gap; arriving at 12:15 means waiting more than an hour.
City cases are handled somewhere else. The Lake Havasu City Municipal Court moved to 92 Acoma Blvd. S. in December 2023, according to a county court notice. Older printouts, receipts and online listings may still show the College Drive building, so check the address on your most recent paperwork against the notice before you drive over.
Probation in Mohave County
If a judge put you on supervised probation, your officer is likely the person who will ask for proof that you finished a program. The Superior Court in Mohave County describes its Probation Department as having offices in Kingman, Bullhead City, Lake Havasu City and St. George, Utah. A Lake Havasu City office on that list suggests routine check-ins may not require a trip to Kingman, but ask your officer where your appointments will actually be held.
Who decides whether a class fits your order
The court or your probation officer decides whether a particular program fits what you were ordered to do. This directory doesn't make that call, and neither does any provider listed on it. Before you pay a deposit, call the court that handled your case or your officer and ask:
- How many hours or sessions does my order call for, and is there a deadline?
- Does the court keep a list, or can I choose any provider whose program matches the hours?
- Are live video sessions allowed for my case, or does it have to be in person?
- Where should the completion letter go: to the clerk, to probation, or to both?
Write down the name of the person you talked to, the date and what they said. If you get two different answers from two offices, ask the court clerk to settle it.
Picking a schedule you can keep in a lake town
In a lake town, many jobs follow the season, and a busy stretch can mean longer or shifting hours in restaurants, marinas and hotels. A weekly group that fits your schedule in October may collide with a busy shift pattern in April. Ask a provider how they handle a missed week, whether there is a make-up option, and how many weeks the full program takes so you can see whether it clears your deadline.
Desert summer heat can make long walks or waits outdoors hard. If you don't drive, map the trip from home to the class location in the late afternoon, when most evening groups start, and have a backup ride lined up.
Telehealth and online groups
Online classes can help if you live well outside the city or work odd hours, but whether they count is a question for the court or your officer, not the provider. If online attendance is allowed, ask the provider whether sessions are live with a facilitator, whether your camera must stay on, and how attendance is recorded.
Taking a class without a court order
You can also sign up on your own. People do this after a hard stretch at work, a falling-out with family, or because they want a better way to handle stress before it turns into trouble. Pick a format you will actually attend, ask what the first meeting looks like, and ask whether the group mixes court-referred and voluntary participants, since some people prefer one setting over the other.
How this directory works
This site introduces you to independent providers who offer anger management classes in and around Lake Havasu City. It doesn't run classes, it doesn't check providers' credentials, and it can't tell you whether a program fits a court order. The court and probation pages cited on this page are the places to confirm details about your case.
