Keyes sits along Highway 99 between Ceres and Turlock in the southern part of Stanislaus County, an unincorporated community surrounded by the farmland that defines the region. Criminal charges land here just as hard as anywhere else in the county — and a case from Keyes runs straight to the courthouse in Modesto. The Law Office of Rebecka A. Monez represents Keyes residents who suddenly find themselves facing the criminal justice system.
The distance from the county seat can make legal support feel out of reach, but it isn't. Our downtown Modesto office is exactly where Keyes cases are heard, and Rebecka A. Monez — who handles criminal defense and nothing else — brings that focus to every client from this community.
The courthouse
Keyes cases, both felonies and misdemeanors, are filed at the Stanislaus County Superior Court Main Courthouse, 801 10th Street in Modesto, a short drive north on Highway 99. Our office is in the same block, so from your first court date forward you have an attorney positioned where the case actually lives — not someone scrambling to learn the courthouse on the morning of your hearing.
Local law enforcement
As an unincorporated community, Keyes is patrolled by the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Office, while the California Highway Patrol conducts traffic and DUI enforcement along the Highway 99 corridor that runs through town. The agency that investigated you matters a great deal: we look at how deputies documented the encounter, whether a stop or search was lawful, and whether your rights were honored from the moment you were detained. When the investigation has gaps, those gaps often become the heart of the defense — and we pursue them relentlessly.
