Hughson is a small agricultural community southeast of Modesto, surrounded by orchards and farmland and built on the rhythms of working the land. It's the kind of place where a criminal charge can ripple quickly through a family and a workplace. The Law Office of Rebecka A. Monez represents Hughson residents and understands how much is on the line when a livelihood tied to the land or a local job is at risk.
Hughson's size and rural setting can make legal help feel far away, but the courthouse handling your case is a short drive into Modesto — and our office is right there. With criminal defense as our exclusive practice, we give Hughson clients the dedicated attention that bigger, busier firms often can't.
The courthouse
Charges from Hughson, both felonies and misdemeanors, are filed at the Stanislaus County Superior Court Main Courthouse, 801 10th Street in Modesto. Our downtown office sits in the same block, so we're positioned exactly where your case is decided. From arraignment through resolution, you have counsel who knows the courtroom, the prosecutors, and how to push a case toward the best possible outcome.
Local law enforcement
Hughson contracts its policing to the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Office, so deputies — not a city police force — handle most arrests in and around town. On the highways and rural roads nearby, the California Highway Patrol conducts traffic and DUI enforcement. The investigating agency is where we start building your defense: we examine the deputies' reports, the basis for any stop or search, and whether your rights were respected throughout. In rural areas, evidence collection and documentation are often where cases get sloppy, and we look hard for those weaknesses.
