IMPORTANT: To find your designated filing courthouse, use this link:…read morehttp://www.lacourt.org/filinglocatornet/ui/filingsearch.aspx The clerks here know what they are doing and they are direct in their instructions to you. The clerks will not fill the forms out for you and there is no self-help center at this courthouse so unfortunately, there is no staff member to ask for help. I didn't want to hire a lawyer to complete my petition for a name change so I went to the online help center and used the online tutorial to complete the necessary forms AND apply for a fee waiver; I qualified and did not have to pay the $435.00 in court fees. Here is the link to the California Self-Help Center that can save you time and money: http://www.courts.ca.gov/selfhelp.htm Finding the court where I had to file my case was also a new experience (I went to the Long Beach Courthouse first and that was not the correct courthouse!) You have to file your casework with the appropriate courthouse that handles your case. MAKE SURE YOU BRING TWO COPIES OF YOUR CIVIL CASE FOR THE CLERK. DON'T STAPLE THEM UNTIL THE CLERK REVIEWS THE PAPERWORK. TIP: There is no parking at this courthouse. The parking lot is for employees only. Park on the street but the meters are coins only, no credit cards. You can also park a few blocks away and avoid paying meter fees. If you require personal assistance completing your legal paperwork and there is no self-help center near you, visit http://www.lawhelpca.org/ to locate a non-profit legal aid center that can assist you. I also recommend Community Lawyers, a non profit agency that I had the privilege of volunteering for. You can contact them here: http://www.community-lawyers.org/ Best of luck!

Office of the Registrar-Recorder is on Burton Way in Beverly Hills. This office is an extension to…read morethe BH courthouse. Parking on Redford Drive is free for 1 hour and there are limited metered parking spots. As many times as I've been here, this here is my first review. Most of the posted reviews are from people who were newly married and registered their coupledom commitment at this office and had pleasant experiences...because well, they just got married and are looking to live life happily ever after ...and I say Good Luck that...lol. The high divorce statistics are against you, maybe or maybe not, you'll be back in this courthouse to probably file for Divorce :( This office has nice helpful staff, but never enough pre and post COVID. This office is where you also pay for all the fines, court fees and parking related offenses and penalties. With all the parking and 'alleged' speeding tickets I've gotten, I feel I'm supporting the parking department :(( Out in the hallway of this office are a couple computers for public use to manage your case/file/violation online, and if the computer system is not down and is functioning/operational, I suggest you manage it online and PRINT a receipt for your PROOF. That saves you time, a trip to this recorder's office and shortens the long wait time here. While in line, sometimes a staffer will help and advise you and sometimes will help resolve your issue on the spot. With the ongoing COVID pandemic, most municipal courthouse and offices are closed, but I am glad this office is open even if hours are limited.

I scheduled my court ceremony for the following week Wednesday at 11:30am.. Ok confession time: I was 45 mins late because (traffic) and our marriage officiant left to lunch. The rules are if you're late you must reschedule.. But after the receptionist screamed at me for being late she was able to squeeze me in at 1:30pm :)) I was so thankful!!! I got married last Wednesday and my officiant was funny and sweet! Chapel is classy and chic with Hollywood glam black and white wedding portraits. My husband and I are so happy with everything, this is the best place to get married!

It's open the same hours as the courthouse, which are business hours (hard to find the hours on the site.) The library has great views of a garden--very peaceful--and the building is historic. The chairs are old though and not that comfortable, but you can't have everything. There are tables and large study carrels. You have to go through security to get in (It's the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals) but the guards are cool. They understand law students. And if you get bored, you can wander into a court room and hear some arguments. FREE PARKING across the street in the lot.

Where is the justice and fairness in regards to my injuries? Although it may not have been my best representation of the facts because I was shaking and I was so nervous, my case WAS proven for every single thing in my claim. Defendant should not only be held in contempt for all the lies she told (which again, I proved through evidence) she should be in jail for medical battery for the injuries she caused. Defendant is not even a doctor, she is a nurse practitioner who broke many laws and I was only awarded a fraction of the judgment which means there is no resolution to my injuries, health or healing for me. This is just devastating. When the facts where there! The judge just didn't take the time to review. This review won't change anything in my case but may it serve as a record for when this defendant severely injures someone else for practicing beyond her credentials. With a minor smack on the hand without consequences, this practically leaves her free to continue practicing illegally and putting so many people at risk for injury. FAILURE IN JUSTICE

JURY SERVICE I hate…read morethis location, so I tried to switch my court venue for Jury Service. Unless you have to take more than three buses to get here or you have a medical excuse, forget it. On the plus side, there are fewer courtrooms here than Stanley Mosk, so you have a better chance of getting dismissed. Parking is right beneath the building. Show your jury summons, and you can park for free. There are plenty of spaces, but it is like a dungeon - dark! I found the elevator and took it to the first floor. Then, I had to get out, exit the building, and go through security. The line was short, and the process was quick. Then, I took an elevator to the 8th floor to the Jury Room. It's big and comfortable, but we aren't allowed to take photos of it. They way they handle juries is different than the last time I was here. We were told there are two groups - a morning panel and an afternoon panel. I was in the morning panel. Within 30 minutes, we were separated into two groups and sent to a department. Everything is done by number, probably to preserve anonymity, so the informative baliff had us line up in numerical order. I was number 2, so I thought I would be in and out of there promptly. Nope. Now, they interview everyone on the panel, which was about 38 people, before dismissing anyone. Once we took our assigned seats, the judge thanked us and gave us a rundown on how things were going to proceed. Then, she excused us for lunch. Unless you're a fast food junkie, pack yours! There is no cafeteria here, and the vending machines are pathetic. There was one food truck outside, and McDonald's and Subway were across the street on Washington Blvd. It's a food desert. When we returned at 1:30PM, we each had to stand up and answer a list of 11 heavy duty questions since it was a DUI case. It was fascinating and surprising to hear some of the answers. By the end of the day, everyone had responded, and we were instructed to return the next morning at 10:30AM. Beware: my courtroom, Department 75 is a meat locker, so bring a ski jacket! Plus, the air conditioner makes cringy inconsistent sounds that are annoying. The building itself is old and feels antiquated, but it gets the job done. The next day, once we were seated, the judge dismissed a number of people. I wasn't one of them. Then, the defense attorney spoke to us. She asked us all a few specific questions, and we had to respond by raising our hand, or not. Then, she asked certain people about their responses. Next, the prosecutor described his method. He, too, asked the group questions, which we replied by raising our hands, or not. Then, he asked particular people things. When that was over, the prosecutor dismissed one person. Then the defense attorney dismissed me. I had to return to the 8th floor to pick up that all-important piece of paper proving I had served for two days. All in all, employees at this courthouse were kind and helpful. Thankfully, everyone tries to make this experience as efficient as possible. Civic duty done!

Many people hate courthouses and it seems this one in particular because they associate them with…read morenegative experiences like traffic court, fines, involuntary jury duty, or the like. But it isn't the courthouse's fault! As far as courthouses go, this one is decent, even though it is getting a bit old and isn't in the best area of the city. There is ample parking in the area, and it is much cheaper than the other downtown courthouse (Stanley Mosk). The interior is clean and isn't really falling apart (yet), though it was clearly built in the 1970s or 1980s. Security to get in is typically quite efficient. Also, make sure to check the location of your courtroom - just because it says Department 65, does not mean it is on the sixth floor! That particular department is on the third floor by the way. As far as courthouses go, this place could be much worse. Four stars easily.

After that I had to go to the 2nd floor to clear the ticket and show proof of insurance. Long wait time but I'm sure it gets much longer during the day since I went around 3pm. 4 windows but only 1.5 workers helping. Molasses moves faster. Got the fix up ticket almost 3 weeks ago and it still isn't in the system so I have to return then pay a additional $50 just to show them my printed out up to date proof of insurance. Guy at window stated just come closer to the due date... Wow Funny that when you get pulled over they check on your insurance to see if it's valid, at least I remember they did, now they don't bother and even though your policy number stays the same the officer couldn't simply check it was current. Well here is to that lazy officer and thank you for being such a profiling genius (sarcasm). Last time I was here was over 20 years ago. Hoping that in 20 years they have better staff, take credit cards and provide parking oh and have updated facilities...

Most of the staff are really nice, in the morning I see everyone say hi and greet each other warmly. The security breaks the ice so when you enter they help me feel at ease (not all of them but the ones I met were nice.). The long wait times and line is probably what most of the issues arise. It's a lot to go through and it can be confusing when our fate They have numbered rooms, benches, snack chops, directories, escalators and elevators, restrooms, cafeteria, and water dispensers. There are several entrances and exits, I'm used to the one at the 4th floor which enters through Grand Ave, but I forgot that it wasn't the first floor.
