I have never stepped foot inside the Nevada County Court House. Never had a need to do so. But I…read morewas driving on Broad Street in Nevada City and the building, a street away in Church Street, caught my attention. Tall building, one of the tallest in the downtown area, painted white. It had an art deco design, very cool vintage version. Clean geometric lines and soft angular corners. It even had art deco lettering and of course a clock on the front facade. So my review is more from the perspective of a tourist, history buff, and amateur admirer of architecture. The first court house was built on Broad Street in 1851. It was a wood structure along with the log cabin jail. In 1856, the court house moved to its present day location. In the years ensuing, it has burnt down several times but always rebuilt. In 1900, it went through an extensive remodeling and updating. But in 1937, the renovations for its present day architectural presence occurred. The commissioned architects was George Sellon. Sellon was a noted architect of his time. He was the first California State Architect 1907. This position was created by the Governor after the devastating 1906 San Francisco earthquakes and fire. He resigned the post after two years due to Legislation preventing him from working on his own private projects. His work is listed under many historical registries. His Sacramento based private architectural business continues today as Lionakas. I drive by the present day Lionakas office and never put the history together until now just by a happen chance lazy weekend excursion to Nevada City. Luv the rich history of our local gold mine counties.

My friend and I were strolling around Old Town Auburn when we saw this very grand building on top…read moreof the hill. We both wondered if that's their City Hall... Convinced that it probably is (it's not), we decided to hike up the hill to take a closer look only to realize as we hiked up that it was a lot farther away. Also we were surprised at the very steep hills here. So we made the decision to walk back down toward the center of Old Town and drove the parked car up to what we now realized is the Historic Courthouse. Built in 1898, it is now also the site of the current Placer County Superior Court (2nd floor) and The Placer County Museum which is located on the 1st floor. Of note, there's a Placer County women's jail (exhibit) which is a makeshift cell underneath the north staircase that was put here in 1905 due to it being too expensive to house women prisoners in local hotels and too dangerous to house them with men in the main jail. Located on Maple Street and Union Street.

Eh! I have nothing against the Superior Court of California-Sutter. All Court Employees have been…read moresuper professional and the latrines are surprisingly clean and fully stock of toilet paper. It's just that going to court gives me anxiety as the reason why I deducted 1 star, LOL! But I do know we have them for a reason. As their mission states, "To resolve disputes assuring that individuals are not deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law or denied equal protection of the law." (Superior Court of Sutter). Sometimes you win a dispute/case and not pay anything and win your freedom or anxiety of owing a fine/bill, sometimes you lose a dispute/case then pay the fine, and sometimes you are summoned for jury duty just to watch the trial. The trial may not be Judge Judy like trial where there's some humor into the case, but the judge does show some slight humor in regards of tying the case back to the Law if found guilty. As the judge will not show favorites between the defendant and the prosecutor. Tips to win a case: 1. Provide important key evidence! Such as photos, videos, documents, and/or witnesses to make your dispute much stronger to win a case to prove yourself innocent. 2. Hire the best lawyer. (optional). 3. Be confident and have good body language. Speak professionally (avoid curse languages). 4. Treat all court employees nicely (never show aggression). 5. Be prepared to share your story in a clear concise manner, provide timelines if possible and stick to it if you'll be summoned again. 6. Stay kind and calm at all times. 7. Attend your trial if you can make it. If you can't make it (re-schedule in a timely manner preferably 2-3wks in advance prior to your trial date). Tips to lose a case: 1. Don't be over confident or too cocky. 2. Steps from 1-7 from "Tips to win a case", just exactly the opposite. LOL! Important note: Attend your jury duty if you've been summoned! It's part of being the world's greatest American Citizen aka You to partake. Plus who knows, you can sorta mentally prepare down the future if you were to be in the same situation as the defendant on how to win/lose a case if you were to be in their shoes. Namm sayinn..

Okay here is what makes this a 5-star rating vs a 1-star rating…read more It all depends on who you get as a clerk. I had a very high fine for being one month late in getting insurance. The first clerk I saw, told me I needed to show proof of insurance, otherwise, I was SOL. So I left and went to my daughter's, where I could use her computer and print out the info. (I live too far away to do that on the same day) Went back to court showed my info and the new clerk I got told me that unfortunately, I was a month late, however.... she directed me to the computer and printer they had on site. She told me there was a form available if you are having trouble paying and it would be a hardship for you. So I filled out the form, printed it, and brought it to the third clerk I saw that day. He was also very helpful, and picked out from the paperwork I gave him, what the judge would need to see. So after all is said and done, I did get a substantial reduction in fine. Thank you to the two clerks who helped me out. The first gal, well maybe needs more training or not be hating on those of us who screwed up and didn't, fly right the first time. Heads up people. If you cannot afford the fine, go on the court system website and you will find a form for if you can't afford to pay. It will list options you can choose from and just ask for reasons.

The department that handle traffic ticket is horrible. I got a speeding ticket in May of 2017, it…read moresaid on the ticket it will take about 45 to 60 days before it appear on the court website. I checked the website almost every week until it show up and finally it appear at the end of July 2017, I paid it right away, but the only confirmation I have is a receipt basically saying "case will be released when payment is received", no other communication or contact whatsoever afterward. The deadline to pay the ticket is at the end of August 2017, so I was assuming my case had been released after I pay it in July, but it was not. THEY SENT MY DEBT TO COLLECTION COMPANY WHICH INCREASE MY SPEEDING TICKET FROM $281 TO $561, UNBELIEVABLE! NOT ONE ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO CONTACT ME ABOUT THE PROBLEM. When I contact the court the only thing they tell me was how sorry they felt about my situation, but no attempt to help at all; basically, they just want to finish the phone call asap to get rid of me. I serve in the military and was preparing for a deployment, so I didn't have much time to deal with it. When I was at my deployment location I have to collect a lot of documents to prove to them I was attempting to pay my ticket, but for some reason it didn't go through. I even contacted my bank and they say there was no record of attempt to withdraw money at the time I pay the ticket. So I wrote a letter and gather all the necessary documents and send it to the collection company so they can send those docs to the court to review my request. 2 months pass by and I contacted the collection company again and they say the court deny my request. To sum it all up, I end up paying approx $300 more for ticket in which I took full responsibility for, did my diligent, checking up on the ticket and pay it right way when it appear on the website. But for some fucking reason my payment did not go through and they have no effort to find out why and refuse to accept my effort in researching the reason behind it. No support receiving whatsoever from their staff or even the clerk; especially the clerk, she such an idiot, she have very limited knowledge about her job and very unprofessional in the way she talk to me.
