Not once did they make me feel like I was asking too many questions or being difficult. They were patient, kind, and genuinely helpful when I was already mentally exhausted. Shout out to the employees in Room 100, where you file paperwork. They guided me step by step and made sure I understood what I needed to do instead of just pointing and rushing me along. That alone made a huge difference. Of course no one wants to be in court, but despite feeling overwhelmed, I was able to get everything done within three days, and that's saying a lot. Also, free parking, which honestly takes a huge layer of stress off right away. Not an experience anyone looks forward to, but the staff made it manageable and human. And that matters more than people realize.

And Room 170 Michelle in window 2 is such a sweet person and following up on all things! She always brights my mornings everyday here at Torrance Courthouse! I hope I come and visit to say hello to everyone or send thing for you all! I appreciate all the hard work everyday you do for the people! Maybe we need a gym and roof top pool for the employees here to be able to do their wellness awareness for workout after work or before work! It would be a great assets to have LA fitness collebrate with the courthouse to build it on the roof! ^^

Torrance City Hall is located in the large complex that also hosts the Civic Center and the main…read morelibrary. Within its halls sit those who run this fine city. The structure itself is nice, and surrounded by greenery. There is plenty of parking around, and the place is not too congested in my experience. I've come to this building once, but walked by it many times. I've came to this area specifically for the armed forces day parade. Along Torrance Blvd, which lines the civic center, there are dedications to service members and veterans who are associated with the city of Torrance. Whatever business you may have here, you'll find this place is not a hassle to visit. Enjoy the surrounding area and the many great things this city has to offer.

I never thought I'd be leaving a 5-star review for a municipal service, but Rosa and Treece (I hope…read moreI spelled her name correctly!) at the 6th floor clerks office were truly fantastic. I got married this weekend and went to turn in my marriage certificate form. I had made an error on the form and both Rosa and Treece were so wonderful, working with me to ensure I was able to rectify any issues before departing for my honeymoon. Each time I've gone to this office, they've been efficient and helpful.

Parking is $10 flat fee and limited spaces are available. Metal screening takes place on the first floor so be prepared to leave most personal items at home. Elevators are roomy and clean but do take a bit of time. At the 6th floor for vital records there is an attendant screening people for walk-in or appointment visits and directs visitors to the appropriate line which definitely expedites the process. Aside from the ridiculous parking fee a pleasant visit given the fast service.

Couldn't take photos for obvious reasons but I had to attend this courthouse for jury duty. The…read moreparking situation was confusing as you get moved based on how full the lot is even though jurors get assigned parking. Staff were not as helpful with guiding to courtrooms so you had to quietly find where you needed to be and once you became a juror, you couldn't talk to anyone anyway. There is no fridge or microwave for jurors to store lunch so you have to eat out everyday, and there was not a cafe to purchase coffee or snacks either so you had to buy your treats before entering. The judge and bailiff of our room was helpful but i can see why people say being in a courthouse is frustrating, I plan to not have to return for a long time.

My husband called this office today regarding a family law custody and visitation summons he had…read moresent, and the experience was incredibly frustrating. He called at 1:31 p.m. and again at 2:22 p.m., just trying to provide the tracking information as he was told to. The woman who answered the phone was extremely rude -- she rushed the conversation, wouldn't let him speak, and acted irritated that he called back even though he was just following instructions. We understand that office staff are busy, but that's no excuse for being unprofessional and disrespectful -- especially when people are dealing with important legal matters like family court. We expected a much more courteous and helpful response. Very disappointed. If I could give no stars I would.

JUROR PARKING IS AT 101 Magnolia Ave. But no one tells you that. Not on the paperwork, not on the voice recording. You just have to figure that one out on your own while rushing to do your civil duty. Plus you better remember your license plate for parking. NO ONE TELLS YOU THAT EITHER. YOU'RE WELCOME. Lastly, you have to fill out the back of your jury duty paperwork. If not, they send you right to the back of the line. Time wasted - approximately 15 min. AGAIN YOU'RE WELCOME.

Restrooms are clean, refrig, microwave available as well as speedy internet Judges are nice enough as are court staff, courtroom cops seem not so pleased to be doing the job though Cons: (antiquated structural issue with jury duty service) Having to drive beyond your living distance because as I was told they draw a straight line on a map and count mileage as a bird flies not what is actually within range of a courthouse. Judges DO NOT excuse for most reasons; no self employed people like us get to use the; i'm Loosing money while being as a reason (been to 2 jury service here several years and judges force you to attend). No consideration is given for your time and money lost while having to go there and deal with waiting for days to go through jury selection to either be forced onto a jury or rejected. *A simple at home phone questionaire or zoom video conference would solve this waste of peoples time for almost 20 people for multiple days but alas government doesn't function like a business must; in considering peoples time important. ProTips: 1. Parking structure (free but complicated to understand) for the jury, is on Pacific between Ocean and Broadway, when you park there, You MUST install the parking structure app on cell: needing phone/email/License plate number and a Credit Card entered even though you will get the parking for free after going into Jury service (they do not take cash in the structure). You'll need to scan the QR codes posted daily and then in the Jury room type your license number which is connected to only that parking structure for free parking; you'll get a notification Text saying the parking is paid. When you leave for the day; I believe camera's Read your license plate and the gate opens up automatically. 2. Bring a seat cousion, the seats in the jury room and in the hallways are wood and uncomfortable for sitting hours at a time 3. Most juries are called either by 9:30 am or after the lunch break which runs from 11:30am - 1:30pm. The entire building empties by 4:30pm 4. There are no TV's to mind numb your time while there to watch so you'll use your phone or bring a laptop/tablet to kill the day while you waste away.

I'd say the major drawback of this location is the parking--it's $1.50/every 15 minutes, so we paid for 1 hour to be safe. A second deterrent would be the security guards; most of them were pretty unhappy/rude, but you really don't spend enough time in security for it to be too much of an issue. Knocked off a star for these location factors, but the RR/CC staff were definitely 5 stars. On to the good part! We whipped through security and headed for the 6th floor where RR/CC is located. We checked in, provided our IDs with the pre-packaged envelope from the previous marriage license appointment, and waited a few minutes for the couple ahead of us to finish (we were early, and they were running on schedule). They called us in by the appointment last name, and we had our little ceremony. The officiant was really kind, and he made it more heartfelt than we were expecting (we were quite awkward though--we don't usually stare at each other in front of people like that, but who really does?). We had a few funny moment of our own accidental creation, and somehow made it back out with our rings on and married! Cheers to a great experience and a whole lifetime of laughs ahead. Thanks, RR/CC team!

Im not at all surprised by the reviews written about Veazy! Sadly she sat over my custody case when…read moremy son was 2 and again when he was 13. She's extremely unprofessional and has a poor work ethic! She is the classic example of a DEI hire! She certainly didn't get this position based on skill, knowledge or merit. She works for the people but certainly doesn't realize that. She couldn't even bring herself out of chambers. Everything was done behind closed doors! Her ruling both times was just pure ignorance. I agree that she does not like white women! She along with the opposing attorney tried to destroy my son but they did not succeed! They under estimated my faith in God and strength as a mother! I prayed over my son as a baby and God has His circle of protection around him. My son refused the see his abusive father! He went on to graduate HS with honors! He served 6 years in the military, earning his bachelors degree in criminal justice. He is now in law school and killing it! He told me that America needs less Veazy's and more Christian lawyers! He's absolutely right! I'm so incredibly proud of him.
