The Menifee Justice Center
The Menifee Justice Center, located at 27401 Menifee Center Drive, Menifee, CA 92584, opened in July 2024, replacing the former Hemet Courthouse for civil, family law, and small claims matters serving the mid-county region of Riverside County. The new courthouse houses nine courtrooms including five dedicated family law departments, and offers a self-help center, family law mediation through Family Court Services, and full clerk's office functions. Its clerk's office is open Monday through Friday, 7:30am to 4:00pm.
Our Murrieta office at 29970 Technology Drive, Suite 101 provides convenient access for clients throughout the mid-county region. We practice regularly before the Menifee Justice Center's family law departments and are familiar with its local rules, procedures, and judicial preferences — local knowledge that benefits our clients at every stage of their case.

A Fast-Growing Region with Complex Legal Needs
Mid-county Riverside County — particularly Menifee, Lake Elsinore, and Perris — has experienced explosive population growth in recent years, driven by housing affordability relative to coastal markets.
