After an arrest in Yucca Valley or anywhere in the Morongo Basin you will need a local attorney with experience in the Joshua Tree Superior Court. Attorney Rhea has worked in Joshua Tree for over fifteen years. The judges and district attorneys all know Attorney Rhea as a professional and aggressive advocate for his clients.
Attorney Rhea has been named top DUI and/or Criminal Defense Lawyer by Palm Springs Life every year since 2010. He is the only criminal defense trial attorney in the state of California with a doctorate from Harvard University, and his entire legal career has been devoted exclusively to criminal defense.
Whether you are a resident of Yucca Valley, a visitor, or in the military; Attorney Rhea can appear in court for you for almost any misdemeanor case, without you having to be present. Felony cases generally require your presence at the first appearance and thereafter at the discretion of the court.
Attorney Rhea has defended thousands of cases, from speeding tickets to violent felonies. Some of his recent successes can be viewed here. Every case is unique, and Attorney Rhea will work with you personally to mount the best possible defense. The defense of your case begins with an in-person meeting with Attorney Rhea at his office. Evening and weekend appointments are available.
“Mr. Rhea was extremely knowledgeable which, without a doubt, was the reason the Judge dismissed my case without any fines, probation, etc. Additionally, his vast knowledge helped lay out all the scenarios which helped relieve my anxieties. He was extremely prompt and reliable which made working with him a pleasure. I would highly recommend Mr. Rhea’s services to anyone and everyone.” – Former Federal Drug Possession Client
