DUI Defense for Marines Stationed at the 29 Palms Marine Corps Base

Call Joshua Tree Criminal Defense & DUI Attorney Joseph T. Rhea at (760) 327-3711 to schedule a free consultation.

Marines arrested on or off-base, or on national park or national preserve land will need to hire a local attorney.  In most cases, trials involving active duty Marines appear in Joshua Tree Superior Court, Banning Superior Court, or Indio Superior Court.  Attorney Rhea has accumulated over fifteen years of experience in these courts.  The judges and district attorneys know Attorney Rhea as a professional and aggressive advocate for his Marine clients.

Attorney Rhea will communicate with command

Not surprisingly, it is very common for Marines getting ready to deploy to be arrested for a DUI or other offenses. Families in this area are also under a great deal of stress, and domestic violence cases are also common. Whatever charge is being defended, Attorney Rhea will communicate directly with Marine Corps to try and ensure that the resolution of the civilian criminal case does not prevent deployment. In the event of disciplinary separation from the Marines, Attorney Rhea can generally handle the civilian case without the client's presence.

Attorney Rhea can appear in court on your behalf

For most misdemeanor offenses, Attorney Rhea can appear on the criminal case without you. For most felony cases, you will be required to attend the first court appearance (called an arraignment). After the felony arraignment, Attorney Rhea can usually make most appearance for you.
