Frequently Asked Questions

Where are Glendale criminal cases heard?

Most Glendale misdemeanor and DUI cases are filed in Glendale Courthouse, part of the Los Angeles Superior Court system. Felony preliminary hearings may move to downtown Los Angeles, depending on the charges and prosecutor assignment.

Does a DUI affect my immigration status?

A single standard DUI typically does not trigger deportation, but aggravated DUIs, DUI with injury, or DUI combined with drug possession can create immigration consequences. Anyone without US citizenship should consult counsel before accepting a plea.

How long does a Glendale DUI case take?

Most first-offense DUIs resolve in three to six months. Contested cases involving blood test challenges or suppression motions can extend to nine or twelve months. Early preparation often improves outcomes.
