Our Mobile Defense Program is arriving at the Joshua Tree Community Resource Fair on Wednesday, May 14, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event will take place at the Joshua Tree Community Center, 6171 Sunburst St., Joshua Tree.

The Mobile Defense Program expands access to justice in remote areas of San Bernardino County by offering virtual court services and free legal assistance. In partnership with the San Bernardino Superior Court, the program helps individuals resolve outstanding legal matters—removing barriers to employment, housing and financial stability.

Available services include:

  • Record-clearing services
  • Requests to clear bench warrants
  • Modifying misdemeanor summary probation
  • Re-enrollment in court-required classes
  • Resolution of outstanding fines

Representatives from the San Bernardino Superior Court will also be on site to answer questions related to family law, child support, guardianship, landlord/tenant disputes and small claims court procedures.

The Joshua Tree Community Resource Fair is hosted by San Bernardino County Special Districts in partnership with the Morongo Unified School District. Held every second Wednesday of the month, the event brings local and county resources to the Morongo Basin.
