Riverside lawyers who stand with our community
Bilingual family law, immigration and criminal defense attorneys on Riverside Avenue, serving Riverside, Moreno Valley, Corona and the rest of the Inland Empire.
Three practices, one office on Riverside Avenue
A divorce, an immigration petition or a criminal charge can each upend a family, and in Riverside County they often arrive together: a domestic violence arrest that reaches into a custody case, a conviction that puts a green card at risk. Fontes Law Group handles family law, immigration and criminal defense from one Riverside office, in English or Spanish, so the attorneys working on each part of your situation are talking to each other.
Family Law
Divorce, custody, support and property division for Riverside County families, handled at the Riverside Family Law Court and, when it must be, litigated firmly. Led by Partner Catherine J. Navarro.

Immigration Law
Family petitions, green cards, fiancé and spouse visas, citizenship and removal defense for immigrant families across the Inland Empire. Founder Martin C. Fontes has represented thousands of immigrants before USCIS and the immigration courts.

Criminal Defense
DUI, drug charges and firearms offenses defended in the Riverside County courts, from the first hearing at the Hall of Justice through trial. We protect your record, your license and, for non-citizens, your status. Led by Of Counsel Natalie Sanchez.
Explore Criminal Defense →A second home in the Inland Empire
Fontes Law Group’s Riverside office brings the same attorneys and the same standards as our Santa Ana office to the Inland Empire, so clients in Moreno Valley, Corona, Perris and San Bernardino are not driving to Orange County for a consultation. Family law, immigration and criminal defense are all handled here, on Riverside Avenue.
A large share of Inland Empire households speak Spanish at home, and our office reflects it. Every attorney and staff member is bilingual, so your consultation, your paperwork and your hearings are handled in the language you are most comfortable in, without an interpreter in the middle.
We appear regularly at the Riverside Hall of Justice, the Riverside Family Law Court and the county’s outlying courthouses, as well as the immigration courts that serve the Inland Empire. Knowing the judges, the district attorney’s office and the local procedures is part of the value we bring to every case.
Every matter is prepared as if it will be contested. Most cases still settle, but a settlement is only fair when the other side knows you are ready for the courtroom. Our clients are never caught off guard.
The people who will stand beside you
The same four attorneys handle family, immigration and criminal matters for clients in Riverside County, and our Riverside office manager coordinates every case that comes through the door.
Proudly local to Riverside & the Inland Empire
Our office at 6377 Riverside Avenue is a short drive from the Hall of Justice and the Family Law Court downtown, and we serve clients from Corona to Moreno Valley, Perris and San Bernardino. We are your neighbors, and we treat every client like one.
