Which county is handling your case?

Choose from the counties we currently serve. If you’re unsure which county is handling your case, select “Not sure yet”.

Telephone regions do not follow county boundaries. The selector lists all eight counties we currently serve, regardless of telephone area code. CPUC 661 area-code background ↗

Use the right location

Start with the county on your notice.

Use the county and courthouse listed on your citation or notice. If those details are missing, tell our team where the arrest happened.

Bakersfield → Kern County

A Bakersfield court matter belongs on the Kern guide. A Lancaster matter is in Los Angeles County, even though both communities use 661.

A consultation request lets us confirm the court location, availability and scope of representation. A regional domain does not identify an additional office.

Bring these to the conversation
  1. 01
    Your court notice or citation

    Keep the court location and any appearance date handy. If the county is unclear, tell the team the arrest city.

  2. 02
    Your DMV notice

    DMV says the hearing request deadline is 10 days after receipt of a suspension or revocation order. The court case is separate.

  3. 03
    Your main concern

    Driving, work, an upcoming date, or understanding your options. Start with the question that matters most to you.

Before you call

A few practical answers.

Is the DMV hearing my criminal court case?

No. They are separate proceedings. Keep both notices and check the dates on each. Do not wait for a criminal court date to review a DMV notice.

Is there an office in every county listed?

No. The firm’s office shown on this site is in Ventura. County guides provide local resources and do not identify additional office locations. Contact us to confirm availability for your matter.

What if my county does not have a guide here?

Call 661-393-8100 or use the consultation form. Tell the team the county or arrest city so availability for that court can be confirmed.
