The Larson Justice Center in Indio is the main criminal courthouse for the Coachella Valley — the desert resort region from Palm Springs to Coachella. It's where DUIs from across the valley are heard, including the surge that follows the Coachella and Stagecoach festivals each spring.
Larson Justice Center — court & DMV details
Why your case is here
The Larson Justice Center at 46-200 Oasis Street is the Coachella Valley's main criminal courthouse, next to the Riverside County Sheriff's Indio jail (the John J. Benoit Detention Center) on Oasis Street. A DUI arrest anywhere from Palm Springs to Coachella — including La Quinta, Palm Desert, Cathedral City, and Indian Wells — is generally heard here. The valley's tourism, nightlife, and the springtime music festivals all drive DUI enforcement that funnels into this courthouse.
The 10-day DMV deadline
Your Larson Justice Center case is separate from the DMV's action against your license, and the DMV's 10-day window to request a hearing runs from the date of arrest — festival weekend or not. How the DMV hearing works →
How Ron defends a DUI at the Larson Justice Center
Coachella Valley DUIs often involve tourists, nightlife, and festival enforcement — and out-of-area drivers who need someone to handle the case for them. Ron works directly with you from his Irvine office, scrutinizes the stop and the testing, negotiates with the DA's desert team, and runs the DMV hearing alongside the court case, in English or Farsi.
