    If you are a man never ever go on calendar under Judge Stephanie George to take care of late fines or basically anything DUI related. Literally walk out and let the police bring you in under warrant rather than let her decide your fate (In custody you get to see a reasonable Judge) This lady (Judge George) becomes hostile with emotions to where she starts picking fights with everyone in the court room; court reporter bailiff etc. She is clearly incapable of being impartial or ruling in the best interest of the people. On the day I came in there were four people on the exact same DUI outstanding fines charge. Two (men) with recent jobs, who had gotten their life together after a struggle, and wished to pay their fines. There were also two (female) drug addicts with a screwed up story who had no willingness or desire to pay their fines. They were also clearly high on meth. Ultimately Judge George went off on a tangent taking both males in to custody and released the two females on drugs with no money to pay their fines and no good excuse. I even had a letter stating I suffered a work injury that left me homeless 3 years and had just gotten a job/place to live. The letter also stated I am on the autism spectrum. This was the exact opposite of justice. The lady is straight evil! 3 days in the jail loop left me with nightmares and I can no longer sleep. My job and home gone. Please get rid of this judge before she ruins more lives leaving more good citizens dependent on the welfare system

    Went there to file a claim of exemption. I had already done my homework and knew exactly what to do and that this was the place for filing such document. After going through the security screening, was told that I needed to go all the way to Santa Ana to file my form. I knew this to be inaccurate since a letter I received from this location specified to file my claim at this location. The non sworn officers need better training. They are wrongfully sending people away to farther locations to conduct businesses meant for this location. This could easily be detrimental to someone who is meeting a deadline and now is told to go somewhere else. I'm sure no one appreciates being given the run around, especially with gas prices the way they are today.

    I sued Geico for a blown car engine after they discounted auto repairs and colluded with the mechanic shop. The day of court, the staff said there is only one guest judge (Newman) today, and he will hear all cases. I realized this was unusual from my previous visits to the courthouse in preparation for my case, and I opted out and rescheduled my court date. On my second court date, the usual judge was there but he would not hear my case. He said he has a guest judge, which turned out to be a Geigo judge, 'helping out' on his lunch hour and he will hear my case against Geigo. I adamantly stated to the court that I wanted an impartial judge to hear my fraud case. But, the judge insisted that I leave the courtroom and go to room H-10 to have a private hearing. The guest judge heard my case and agreed that there was fault on Geigo and the mechanic shop - they installed used parts and reused the radiator impacted from a side-front collision without proof of testing it. He questioned them until he was convinced there was substantial wrong doing on their part and looked at pictures and the used parts they installed. He concluded the poor work done by the mechanic shop led to engine damage and Geigo should cover it. However, ten days later we received the judgement by mail and the crooked judge sided with Geigo and the mechanic shop, and I lost my car. I spent 3 months preparing for my case and going to and from the courthouse to observe, and what you should know is that this is a democratic courthouse and it's run by a team of corrupt staff and judges. My advise to you is to handle the matter outside of court - even if you have to do, what you have to. This is the only way you will get justice for your loss.

    I had a very scary experience with this courthouse, years ago a biased commissioner gave 3 year restraining order based off no facts . I was plaintiff. The commissioner was so corrupt that I knew instantly he is more dangerous than the defendant.

    wouldn't need to show up here if police weren't a bunch of sociopathic criminals operating under color of law. ACAB!

    Automated phone system is entirely out of whack. Type in your OC pay number 5-6 times and get different results every time. This is the system that’s supposed to keep track of our records? Can’t get a hold of a human here since April of 2023

    Judge Brett Johnson is so kind! My license was expired for two months as well as rolling a stop sign and he dismissed both of them because he understood that the DMV with covid is really difficult! Thank you!

    The one star has nothing to do with anything but over all common courtesy. I drove all the way here to make a payment and the collections window is only open till 12 noon on Fridays. This is for all oc courts. DO NOT GO ON FRIDAY'S AFTER 12PM ITS NOT OPEN AT ANY OF THE LOCATIONS.

I hope he won't mind that I won't get my actual licence back until December. Did not hear of medical evaluation probation ever. I think that's pretty fair since I can save money now, you know how gas prices are rising.

    They need a better check in system. 7 windows and only 3 employees working. The courts brining in millions and can’t afford to have all windows open.

    Chances are, if you're visiting this luxurious establishment, you will almost certainly be stuck waiting all day long to be seen for 5 minutes.

    Got called in for jury duty. The process was easy. Line up, go though security, wait up in the second floor until they select the jury. Lauren at thefront desk awesome, she is so nice and helpful. Second person is getting trained and is doing a phenomenal job as well. Plenty of parking (June 2021) lots of waiting but you can bring your laptop, charger available but soda machines are broken today.

    Be prepared to walk through metal detector if you want to go inside. Was my first time here have no clue where to go or what to do but plenty of signs direct where to do. Pop in one of the office to ask some general questions and person answered completely and quite helpful. There are windows next to main entrance for traffic ticket (?) and such but there is a long line

    I am blessed by who I AM. Yet I am not the Great I AM, but I am who I AM by the power of the confidence in the reality of who I AM, the child of the Almighty, the One Who is my Magnificent and Mighty, Infinite and Holy, Gracious and Full of Mercy, Loving, Caring ELoi Ahah-Yah Eloi, the Great Counselor that has guided me to TRUST IN HIM and He has given me the Spirit of Discernment to recognize His Guidance through the voice of Demon-strators and to IN-tegrate the power of my sophisticated mINd-the genius of my IN-tell-ligence and IN-tell-ect, the wisdom of my IN-novations through the IN-SPIRATION and IN-TEGRATE IN-SIGHT, IN-STINCT, IN-TUITION and IN-tell-ect IN-TO my strategy of my defence and win my case from Devil Satan Lucifer, who runs this court and every cop, sheriff and other insignificant enforcement officers and have my piece of mind to thrive and to enjoy my life away from these so low ugly inhumane slave owners, destroying our lives. Be blessed by Eloi Ahah-Yah and Prosper. May every court case be dismissed and hell may swallow this evil place of Lucifer. Shalom!

    Unprofessional clerks. Misinforming people. Prejudice commissioner. If you don’t have an attorney they won’t even listen to you.

    The judge didn't sit there until after ten o'clock, and asked someone to come and wait at 8:30. He was really efficient.
