Criminal Defense in Riverbank

Riverbank sits northeast of Modesto along Highway 108, a growing community with deep roots and a small-town feel. When a criminal charge lands in a place like Riverbank, it can feel personal and very public at once. The Law Office of Rebecka A. Monez defends Riverbank residents and treats every case with the seriousness it deserves, no matter how routine the prosecution tries to make it look.

Because Riverbank's cases are decided in Modesto, just a short drive south, we function as a local firm for this community. Rebecka A. Monez practices criminal defense exclusively — when you call, you're not getting a generalist who dabbles, but an attorney who lives in these courtrooms.

The courthouse

Charges out of Riverbank, both felonies and misdemeanors, are filed at the Stanislaus County Superior Court Main Courthouse, 801 10th Street in Modesto. Our office is in that same downtown block, which means we're already where your case is going. From the first appearance forward, you have an advocate who knows the building, the prosecutors, and how to move a case in your favor.

Local law enforcement

Riverbank contracts its policing to the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Office, so most arrests here involve sheriff's deputies rather than a city department. On Highway 108, the California Highway Patrol handles traffic enforcement and many DUI stops. The investigating agency is central to how we build a defense: we scrutinize the deputies' reports, the justification for any stop or search, and whether your constitutional rights were respected. When the investigation cuts corners, those errors can unravel the prosecution's case — and we look for them from day one.
