Cities We Serve
Serving Anaheim, Orange, Santa Ana, Irvine, Brea, and all of Orange County
Local Knowledge, Orange County Focus
Orange County looks simple on a map — 34 cities packed into about 800 square miles — but serving papers here is anything but uniform. Gated communities in Newport Coast and Coto de Caza have their own access procedures. Irvine's high-rise office towers require knowing building management and after-hours entry. The dense rental markets of Santa Ana and Anaheim mean multi-unit addresses where the right unit and the right person aren't always obvious.
Orange County isn't an abstract service area for us. That familiarity with OC's neighborhoods, traffic corridors, and coastline is part of how we reach people quickly and complete service correctly the first time, instead of racking up failed attempts.
A courthouse with history.
Orange County's original 1901 courthouse, a National Historic Landmark in Santa Ana, today houses the Orange County Archives and a museum — a beautiful reminder of the county's legal history. Today's active court operations are held at the Central Justice Center and the county's other justice centers listed below.
A courthouse system organized by case type, not just geography.
Family law matters are filed at the Lamoreaux Justice Center regardless of where in the county you are, while civil, criminal, traffic, and small claims matters are handled at the Central Justice Center in Santa Ana. We serve throughout the county, with particular strength in the Anaheim, Orange, Santa Ana, and Irvine corridor.
Harbor Justice Center — 4601 Jamboree Road, Newport Beach, CA 92660. South county; traffic, criminal, minor offenses.
Federal note: the Ronald Reagan Federal Building & U.S. Courthouse in Santa Ana handles federal matters under separate rules — contact us to confirm federal service.
