Here’s what you need to know to regain control of your future
If you or a loved one has been arrested or charged with a crime, or is the subject of an outstanding warrant, and your case is pending at the East County Courthouse, there is contact and other information available that provides a valuable resource during this difficult time. You may have questions about visiting hours at the jail, bail, or any one of a number of issues. In some cases, a trip to the courthouse may be beneficial:
Location: The East County Courthouse is located on the first five floors of 250 East Main Street in El Cajon.
Directions to the courthouse can be found here: http://www.sdcourt.ca.gov/portal/page?_pageid=55,1059067&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL

You can also reach the East County Division by telephone, and it may pay to try to avoid making a trip to the courthouse.

*Please note that phone hours may vary from buisness office hours
If you need to find out about posting bail, to visit a loved one, for probation or parole issues, or to obtain information about a pending criminal case, a trip to the El Cajon courthouse may be required. If so, note that in addition to criminal records, the courthouse also houses offices for the probation department, the Sheriff’s office, the District Attorney and others.

“I came to David Shapiro to end my probation early and expunge my case. I had a very positive and very informative experience with him. David and his assistant Maria were excellent and always kept in the loop of what was going on.”
“Helping good people get their lives back is not just a catch phrase. They mean what they say and are serious about taking care of the client. Ally Keegan and the team at Law Office of David Shapiro are AMAZING! My charges for a 25 plus year old case were dismissed, it was not easy but I truly believe that if I had went with any other Law Firm that the outcome would have been very different. Thank you Ally for helping me get my life back!”
“I called many lawyers after I got my DUI. Stefano was the only lawyer who put my mind at ease and gave me a sense of relief. He constantly communicated with me about my case and laid out all my options. He was willing and able to do whatever he could to help me. He went above and beyond what was expected.”
“I have used David 2 times in the past and he has by far exceeded my expectations. He has great knowledge and knows the system. He is straight forward and honest and somebody you can trust without doubt. I would recommend him to friends, family, and anybody that needs help. Best attorney I’ve ever come across.”
“Stefano Molea was extremely professional and consistently timely with responses to my questions. Most of all, Stefano was reliable. Stefano was diligent with discovery and always prepared and tenacious when relevant to the situation. Stefano is an attorney that you can count on for the best outcome. Thank you Stefano for all you did in my case. You’re so awesome!!!!”
“Ally was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her calm and reassuring demeanor was matched with her excellent knowledge, dedication, thoroughness. We unfortunately found ourselves in need of a criminal lawyer and we can without a doubt say that having Ally and her firm represent us from the beginning was the best choice we could have made.”
