Beverly Hills Courthouse, Traffic Court

nobody ever answers the phone!!!
on hold for 10 minutes and get disconnected, EVERYTIME!!!
you have to call during certain hours and still no answer.
ANNOYING!

I know, I know. Everyone dreads going to any court house, especially for the purpose of disputing /​resolving a traffic citation. Unfortunately, I had to make the 30+ mile trek there because my bail was forfeited even after I requested a Trial by Written Declaration via e-​mail. Apparently, they are prone to mistakes because of the P.O. Box, which definitely doesn’t make any sense. It’s also true that they don’t pick up the phone so better plan to go there physically.
Positives: There is plenty of free parking for 2 – 3 hours in front of the court house. Don’t bother with the meters or $ 9 flat fee garage. You won’t be in there long as the average wait time seemed to be 15 – 30 minutes amongst 3 service windows.
Negatives: Getting there is pain no matter where you live in Los Angeles, unless you live in the 90 210.
My recommendation is to come in with a positive attitude regardless of how you truly feel about wasting your valuable time that could be used elsewhere more productive. I noticed that the clerks are definitely more friendly and helpful if you don’t come in donning your Mr. Grumpy pants.

So Pathetic so inefficient so ugly smells bad no one seems happy to be doing their jobs and they try as hard as possible to delay postpone poorly perform and it is like you travel to Afghanistan and the underpaid Taliban are the employees of this place. I think unless a certain catastrophe befalls on them there is no hope for reform in this place.
