About the author →
The Southwest Justice Center in Murrieta is the criminal courthouse for the fast-growing I-15 southwest corner of Riverside County — Temecula, Murrieta, Menifee, Lake Elsinore, and the surrounding cities. It's the only criminal court for that whole corridor.
Southwest Justice Center — court & DMV details
Why your case is here
The Southwest Justice Center at 30755 Auld Road is the single criminal courthouse for the I-15 southwest corridor, and it shares its campus with the Southwest Detention Center. A DUI arrest in Temecula, Murrieta, Menifee, Lake Elsinore, Wildomar, or Canyon Lake is heard here. The CHP Temecula Area office patrols the I-15 through the wine country, where weekend and tourist DUI enforcement runs high.
The 10-day DMV deadline
A southwest-corridor DUI brings two cases: the criminal case at the Southwest Justice Center and the DMV's separate case against your license, which runs on a 10-day fuse from arrest. How the DMV hearing works →
How Ron defends a DUI at the Southwest Justice Center
Temecula and Murrieta see heavy I-15 and wine-country DUI enforcement, much of it CHP. Ron works directly with you, pressing on whether the stop was lawful and whether the chemical testing holds up, negotiating with the DA's Southwest Region team, and running the DMV hearing in parallel — in English or Farsi, from his Irvine office.
