Where is the Criminal Court?

Finding the criminal court … Of course you can always call our firm to make sure you know which court you are to appear in and where it is located. With so many courts in Southern California, it is important to be sure you know where you are supposed to be and when. Judges do not understand failure to appear or lateness. Also, the following link will take you to the Superior Court site where you can find accurate information about court locations, phone numbers and judges.
