\"Los<\/a>I’m a Los Angeles Traffic Ticket Lawyer<\/a>. \u00a0 Every day I go to courts all over Los Angeles to fight tickets on behalf of my clients. \u00a0 As a traffic ticket attorney in LA, I know my way in and out of over 100 courthouses in Southern California. \u00a0 Some courts will allow walk in appearances, other courts will not. \u00a0 Some courts allow amendments at arriagnment, others at trial, others only on officer motion, others on court motion, others not at all. \u00a0 Want an abstract for your ticket to clear the hold from your license? \u00a0Getting one can be tricky. \u00a0Some courts release them automatically, other times they are $10, other times they are $15. \u00a0Get it at the window? Another window? The judge? The clerk after the appearance? \u00a0It’s a jungle out there.<\/p>\n

I do this every day and I also have several Los Angeles traffic ticket lawyers<\/a> on staff here in my office, so we constantly get calls from potential clients as well as other lawyers asking, “hey what do they do in X court on this type of case?” \u00a0 So I feel it’s my duty as your Los Angeles Traffic ticket lawyer to let you know that latest on the massive wave of court closures facing LA. \u00a0As of today, here is what they are telling us<\/p>\n

Eight Los Angeles County courthouses<\/a> will close completely. \u00a0They are Huntington Park, Kenyon Juvenile, Malibu, Pomona north, San Pedro, San Pedro annex, West LA, and Whittier. \u00a0 In addition to the elite eight<\/a>, court work at Beverly Hills and Catalina Island will face significant reductions and restructuring. \u00a0So where will these cases go? \u00a0Here is what they are telling this guy as of today:<\/p>\n

Alhambra traffic tickets-courthouse stays open, but no more traffic court in Alhambra. \u00a0All Alhambra traffic tickets are going to Pasadena courthouse.<\/p>\n

Beverly Hills traffic tickets-staying in Beverly Hills! But only for arraignment. \u00a0If a ticket doesn’t resolve at arraignment, ticket goes to Santa Monica. \u00a0All Beverly Hills criminal matters are going to Van Nuys or LAX<\/p>\n

Pomona traffic tickets-pure traffic tickets are going to El Monte, traffic tickets for DUI or other misdemeanor offenses are staying in Pomona but going to Pomona south with all other criminal matters<\/p>\n

East LA traffic tickets-going over to Metro courthouse in downtown Good old 1945 S Hill, bring something to read if you have to go to Metro, the lines are like Disneyland, except no ride at the end, just fines<\/p>\n

Huntington park traffic tickets-going to Compton. \u00a0Only good news here is traffic court in Compton is on the first floor so you don’t need to ride the world’s slowest elevators<\/p>\n

Malibu traffic tickets-pure traffic tickets are going to Santa Monica, DUI and other misdemeanor citations are going to Van Nuys<\/p>\n

San Pedro traffic tickets-everything to Long Beach courthouse and then after that everything to the new Long Beach courthouse<\/p>\n

West Los Angeles traffic tickets-I was told they are going to Beverly Hills which makes no sense since they are closing Beverly Hills. \u00a0So I guess this means West LA traffic goes to Beverly Hills for arraignment and then to Santa Monica for trial, unless it’s a misdemeanor, then it goes to Beverly Hills, only to get sent to LAX.<\/p>\n

Whittier traffic tickets-Any citation issued by the Whittier Police Department will be going to Bellflower. \u00a0 This includes traffic tickets as well as misdemeanor cases like DUI, hit and run, and even felony arrests from Whittier PD. \u00a0Any other LA traffic tickets or LA criminal cases that would have gone to Whittier before, but aren’t from Whittier PD…….will go to Downey.<\/p>\n

Clear as mud right? \u00a0Got questions? So do I. \u00a0Email me at attorneygallagher@gmail.com or call us at 800-797-8406 and we can try to figure out the answers together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
