What to Do If You Are Arrested in Irvine

By Steven A. Alexander, Esq.California Bar #182068Last reviewed: November 2026

Frequently Asked Questions

Where will my Irvine arrest case be heard?

Adult criminal cases from Irvine are filed at the Harbor Justice Center, 4601 Jamboree Rd, Newport Beach, CA 92660. In felony cases, some hearings are held at the Central Justice Center in Santa Ana, and the trial goes to whichever justice center has an open trial courtroom.

Is my Irvine criminal case at the Lamoreaux Justice Center?

No. The Lamoreaux Justice Center in Orange hears juvenile, family law, and domestic violence restraining order cases, not adult criminal cases. A minor arrested in Irvine would have a juvenile case there.
