Turlock is the second-largest city in Stanislaus County and the anchor of the south county. Home to CSU Stanislaus, it draws students, faculty, and a steady commuter flow along Highway 99 and Highway 165 — and with that population comes a real volume of arrests, from campus-area incidents to traffic and DUI stops on the highways. The Law Office of Rebecka A. Monez represents Turlock residents facing criminal charges, and we take the drive south as a matter of course because this community matters to our practice.
A criminal charge in Turlock can put a job, a degree, or a professional license at risk in a single night. We handle criminal defense and nothing else, which means when you call, you reach an attorney who spends every day on cases exactly like yours.
The courthouse
Most Turlock cases — all felonies and the bulk of misdemeanors — are filed at the Stanislaus County Superior Court Main Courthouse at 801 10th Street in Modesto. Some south-county misdemeanor and traffic matters, however, are calendared at the Turlock Branch at 300 Starr Avenue, closer to home. We appear in both, so wherever your case lands, you have counsel who knows the courtroom and the people in it.
Local law enforcement
The Turlock Police Department handles most local arrests, while the California Highway Patrol works Highway 99 and Highway 165 — frequently the source of DUI and traffic-related charges. The investigating agency shapes everything that follows: the quality of the report, the legality of the stop or search, and whether the evidence holds up. For students and young people especially, a careful early challenge can keep a momentary mistake from becoming a permanent record. We dig into how the case was built and look for every weakness.
