Our office handles more criminal cases on Catalina Island than any other private firm. If you're scheduled to appear in the Avalon courthouse, save yourself the time and hassle of the trip and allow us to make a special appearance.
Our appearance fee is usually less than the cost of the trip, especially if you factor in the value of your time. An appearance on Catalina Island takes most of the day. The Catalina Express leaves from Long Beach at 6:00 AM. If your case goes smoothly and you can catch the 11:45 boat back, you'll arrive back on the mainland around 1:00 PM. If the court staff is delayed by inclement weather, cases are often heard in the afternoon, or not at all. There is nothing quick or simple about a "quick and simple appearance" on the island.
We have extensive experience in defending against the most common charges that arise on Catalina, including fishing violations (undersized lobster, fishing in a protected area, commercial fishing without the necessary permits and endorsements, etc.) and other misdemeanors (drunk in public, golf cart DUI, possession of drugs and domestic violence).
If you need an appearance covered on Catalina Island, or if you have questions about what to expect, call us for a free consultation. (714) 449 3335. Ask for John.
Thanks for reading.
