If you were arrested in Menifee, your case will be heard at the Southwest Justice Center. Attorney Nic Cocis has defended Menifee residents for over 25 years.

Criminal Defense for Menifee Residents

If you or a loved one has been arrested in Menifee—whether in Sun City, along the Newport Road corridor, or in the newer developments near the I-215—contact the Law Office of Nic Cocis immediately. Unlike most Southwest Riverside County cities that rely on the Sheriff’s Department, Menifee has its own Menifee Police Department, which means local arrests follow a distinct set of procedures and reporting practices. Regardless of which agency made the arrest, your case will be heard at the Southwest Justice Center on Auld Road in Murrieta. Our office at 25026 Las Brisas Rd., Murrieta, CA 92562 is a short drive from Menifee, and we are just minutes from the courthouse. Attorney Nic Cocis has spent over 25 years defending Menifee-area residents at the SWJC.

Understanding Menifee’s Local Law Enforcement

Menifee’s own police department operates differently from the Riverside County Sheriff’s stations that serve neighboring cities. The Menifee PD patrols the Newport Road commercial corridor—a hotspot for Theft & Property Crimes, shoplifting, and DUI arrests—as well as the Sun City retirement community, where Domestic Violence and elder-related cases arise. The growing residential areas near the I-215 and McCall Boulevard see Drug Crimes cases and Violent Crimes crime allegations tied to the freeway corridor. Attorney Cocis understands the Menifee PD’s specific procedures, how their officers testify at the Southwest Justice Center, and where their cases are most vulnerable to challenge. That knowledge—built over decades of defending Menifee clients—is a critical advantage in your defense.
