Superior Court of California, Monterey Division

Located in a nice area surrounded by oak trees. Large parking lot. This is mostly utilized for family court matters.

The mexican looking girl at the document windows is SUPER RUDE to me & everyone I saw approach her on 3 different occasions. She doesn't take civil paperwork I believe she's family law.. I hate even watching someone else have to deal with her. She must hate her job or maybe she hates people, idk but she doesn't do anything to hide it. Everyone else is helpful. Also I wish the blank forms that are needed to file declerations, terminations and such were left out available to the public because you have to wait in line while people ask questions that can't be answered by anyone but the self help center & you are forced to wait while they repeat themselves over & over.

Nice security but lag for civil or family services

They trample on your rights and laugh in your face in the process. Horrible, unethical people.

My right for due process was intentionally denied in this court. There are multiple people, officers of the court, who have engaged in unethical practices and they should be held accountable. I have tried, for years, to get someone to hear the truth about some (not all) of the unethical lawyers, and one Judge specifically in my case in the Monterey Superior Court and they cover for them.nnIn 2016 I lived in another state. I was “served” a packet of random documents that did not include anything about a time or place for a hearing. Then the opposing council had the hearing moved up without notifying me. I did not have a lawyer at that time. The court never updated this change on the public portal and everyone I spoke to on the phone at that court only knew that I had a hearing for September 2, 2016. On August 12, 2016, the judge and opposing council proceeded to have a hearing with out me being there and made decisions without my concent. Even worse, after this hearing, the opposing council CLAIMED that I had been sanctioned 1000 dollars.nnOn Friday September 2, 2016, I showed up to court on the hearing date (still scheduled on the docket). In fact, from August 29 to September 1, 2016, I went inside the court and asked any and everyone in an official capacity if I still had a hearing for September 2, 2016, they all said YES. On September 2, 2016 in court, the interim judge called my case. I spoke to the interim judge about my concerns and the clerk quickly shouted out that I had been served. NOT TRUE! The judged laughed at my suggestion that my rights had been violated and refused to hear anything I had to say. She suggested that I go to the self-help center and figure out what I needed to do.nnIn 2017, I retrieved the transcript from the August 12, 2015 hearing and neither the judge nor the opposing council said anything about sanctioning me. I brought this to the attention of my FORMER lawyer because I was being accused of contempt for lack of payment of said sanction set for February 2018. I asked my former lawyer why should I pay for a sanction when I was never sanctioned? Legit question right! So, instead of fighting to get to the truth, the opposing council and my lawyer were able to amend the transcript and the order to add the missing conversation. THIS IS UNETHICAL! This is ILLEGAL! and it seems to only happen to black and brown people in this crooked Justice system! This court ruins lives!
