\"Alhambra<\/a>Alhambra traffic court<\/a> is set to close on May 15, 2013 due to the budget crunch facing the Los Angeles Superior Court<\/a>. \u00a0 Closures of many courthouses have been rumored and announced over the last few months and this is the latest news from the Alhambra traffic court. \u00a0 As of May 15th, all traffic matters from the San Gabriel Valley that would have previously been heard at the Alhambra traffic court will be reassigned to the Pasadena Courthouse<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Please note that the Alhambra courthouse will remain open and continue to hear criminal and limited civil cases. \u00a0 Unlike some other courts in the Los Angeles Superior Court, the Alhambra courthouse is not completely shutting down. \u00a0 This is simply a move to consolidate the traffic calendar. \u00a0 \u00a0Therefore, if you have a DUI<\/a> or other misdemeanor traffic issue that is assigned to the Alhambra courthouse, those matters will remain in Alhambra. \u00a0 The traffic calendar that is moving to Pasadena will be for basic infractions only such as speeding tickets, red light camera tickets, illegal turns, seatbelt tickets, cellphone tickets, and other basic moving violations.<\/p>\n

Although this closure will be a major inconvenience in terms of travel for people who live near the Alhambra courthouse, it is not really a bad thing. \u00a0In my experience handling traffic matters all over Southern California for the last 13 years<\/a>, I have found Alhambra traffic court to be a difficult place to practice. \u00a0 The policies of the clerk’s office and the bench in Alhambra traffic court are very inefficient. \u00a0Getting a fine reduction, an amendment to a non moving violation, or any other favorable disposition is very challenging. \u00a0 \u00a0The move to Pasadena should benefit virtually everyone who handles traffic matters in the area as well as anyone who receives a ticket in that area. \u00a0 If you have a traffic matter currently pending in Alhambra traffic court, you may want to extend the appearance date in order to take advantage of the upcoming transfer to Pasadena. \u00a0 \u00a0If you have questions regarding Alhambra traffic court, Pasadena traffic court, or any other traffic court in Southern California, contact me toll free anytime at 1-800-797-8406. \u00a0 I just might have some helpful info.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
