Criminal & DUI Lawyers in Fontana, CA

The Fontana Criminal Defense Attorneys of our law firm can assist you in fighting DUI, as well as felony or misdemeanor criminal charges at the Fontana courthouse. We have years of experience dealing with the prosecutors, judges, probation officers and local court procedures.

The Fontana courthouse is located at 17780 Arrow Blvd. The court handles all felony and misdemeanor criminal cases originating in the cities of Fontana and Rialto, CA. Misdemeanor arraignments take place in Department F3. Felony preliminary hearings take place in Department F6. Representation of defendants is by private criminal defense lawyers or the Fontana Public Defender.

All Fontana DUI and drunk driving cases are handled in F3 through pre-trial. If the Fontana DUI cases ultimately proceeds to jury trial, it gets transferred to one of the other court departments. A Fontana DUI defense lawyer can assist you in negotiating a charge reduction, and taking the case to jury trial if a plea agreement cannot be reached.

Some "specialized" types of criminal charges here are assigned to particular district attorneys. For example, a special prosecutions unit exists for Fontana gang cases, as well as major narcotics and crimes against children cases. Other general criminal matters are handled by the district attorney in the Fontana courtroom where the case is assigned.

Most Fontana criminal cases are investigated by either the Fontana Police Department, the Rialto Police Department, the San Bernardino County Sheriffs Department or the CHP. Following an arrest, the law enforcement agency will forward the case to the Fontana Division of the San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office for a determination of what criminal charges to file.
