If you are local on the island, you are happy to have the Catalina Courthouse. Having a local courthouse means that you can avoid a boat ride to take care of your legal matter. Â If you ran into some legal trouble while on vacation in Catalina, the opposite is true. Â You are facing a boat ride back to the island to return to the Catalina Courthouse to take care of the problem you picked up on vacation.
The California lawyers we speak with report the most common calls for issues at the Catalina courthouse are related to a vacation arrest. These include traffic court issues, arrest for drunk in public or DUI, and incidents of domestic violence. If you are facing a vacation arrest and you don’t want to return to the island to deal with your legal troubles, you may want to consider retaining the services of a Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney. Under California law, an attorney can appear on your behalf at the Catalina courthouse for any misdemeanor charge pursuant to California Penal Code Section 977(a).
