After reading the reviews, I can see why this court may have been the reason for a fraudulent charge on a credit card I have never used and kept locked in a drawer. $7.50 charged by "Orange Co Superior Crt W" . And of course, there is no finance dept., controller, or customer service to actually resolve the issue. Luckily, it's a credit card dispute and not something more serious.

I recommend if you can ,that move your case to another Superior Court in California. Such as Long beach or even Los Angeles. As this court is slow and some people know what they're doing and some do not but the biggest problem is in their Small claims division. They have NO REAL Judges or Commissioners. Only temporary lawyers trying to get an extra paycheck, and don't know what they're doing in the process. For example, I witness a Small Claims Court trial in which the Temp Judge told both parties " I'll look this case over on my lunch break ". Which was ridiculous as the Plaintiff had a large folder full of 18 months worth of evidence against the defendant. How can you execute sound justice in one hour while you eating? smh

I am trying to get information on how to obtain a certified document from the court on a case back in 2001, that was completed. I need to know the fees and find out if it should go to the records, archive section, etc. Nobody is answering the phones. It is the same recording. I can't imagine the task ahead. The Court website needs a complete redo.

I do not understand how this place hasn't closed down yet. As a courthouse/ legal & law facility they suck. Its hard to get connected with someone over the phone, the website is no help like it says it is, and everything is just a waiting game. You can call then call a few months later and no one knows anything about your case. Now you can't even call the main help desk directly. I finally got an email from the courthouse saying they can not locate my petition or do not see anything under my name. They misplaced my forms someone because I have proof via email and a receipt from post office of me sending them over 2 copies of the same form. Both copies went missing LOL.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

My gf aunty is trying get to get her divorce decree there. She lives in Hawaii. Can someone help us out please. How, where, etc.

If she needs just a copy of the decree, she can go online to occourts.org, go to the family law case search, type in the case number and she will be able to print it out for a nominal fee. If she needs a certified copy (a copy that includes a signature from a clerk and a seal), she can mail in the copy request along with a check that specifies "not to exceed 45 dollars" to cover the fees for copies, certifying and postage back. She can mail the request to either the family law court, Lamarouex Justice center or the central Justice center, attn: records department.

The superblock parking lot is the closest but also the most expensive. The stadium parking lot and the library lot are cheaper options but have a 5 min walk to the courthouse. Personally, the stadium parking lot is the best in my opinion due to the various ways of getting out of the parking lot during lunch when the big crowds hit.

The Governor of California slashed the trial courts budgets which resulted in terminating live people on the phones. Please write to your elected officials to let them know your frustrations. If you have a case number already, you can contact the courtroom clerk where your case is assigned. Courtroom numbers are listed on the public website. If the courtroom is in session though, the clerk may ask you to call back at a later time.

Christyn DeAngelis | Aug 21, 2019
ryan castillo | Aug 21, 2019

Unfortunately the Governor cut the courts budget back in 2008 and we lost alot of funding that has yet to come back completely. Through those budget cuts, we had to implement furloughs where the court even closed one day during the week. Thankfully those days are gone but we still lack the funds to have phones in the clerks office like we used to have. By all means, write to your representatives and help us get the funding back so we can help our communities better. As you state, there are only phone trees available that are automated. Depending on your case type, you may be able to call a courtroom directly. Since you didn't state what type of case you have, I will provide some generic numbers: Civil cases: 657-622-6878, press 1 Criminal cases: 657-622-8459
