Corona attorney for the moments that threaten your family

Known as the 'Circle City,' an established Northwest Riverside community of residential neighborhoods and commuting professionals. A child-welfare investigation, a criminal charge, or a serious accident rarely stays contained to a single courtroom — and the consequences reach custody, reputation, and livelihood. We serve Corona and Riverside County from our Beverly Hills office.

Where Corona cases are heard

Riverside County has its own agency and courts

Child-welfare matters in Corona are handled by the county Department of Public Social Services (DPSS) — not the agency you may know from another county. Juvenile dependency cases are heard at the Riverside Juvenile Courthouse, which serves northern and central Riverside County. Knowing how DPSS builds a detention report, and how the County Counsel who represents it argues a case, is specific to Riverside County practice, and it matters from the first contact.

Criminal matters arising in Corona are prosecuted through the Riverside County District Attorney in the Superior Court of California, County of Riverside. Coordinating a criminal defense with any parallel DPSS matter is often what protects a parent's custody, not just their record.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who investigates child abuse or neglect allegations in Corona?

In Corona and throughout Riverside County, investigations are handled by the county Department of Public Social Services (DPSS) — the agency names differ by county (DCFS in Los Angeles, SSA in Orange County, DPSS in Riverside, CFS in San Bernardino), and the local procedures differ with them. DPSS social workers prepare the reports that carry significant weight in court, so speaking with an attorney before an interview protects your family.

Where will a Riverside County dependency case be heard?

Juvenile dependency cases for Corona are heard at the Riverside Juvenile Courthouse, which serves northern and central Riverside County. All dependency matters proceed under California Welfare & Institutions Code § 300, through detention, jurisdiction, disposition, and review hearings.
