What to Expect at a Hearing

Court hearings typically start at 8:30 a.m. or 1:30 p.m., though specific times vary by department. Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes early — all visitors must pass through metal detectors.

A few things to know before your hearing:

• Dress conservatively — business or business-casual attire.
• Prohibited items cannot be stored at the facility — leave them at home or in your vehicle.
• Phones must be silenced or turned off in courtrooms.
• The court offers free public Wi-Fi (network: “court public”).

The building is wheelchair accessible. There is wheelchair access from the entrance drive to the sidewalk near the front of the court (closest to Tuolumne Street) marked by a crosswalk; a wheelchair ramp leads to the main entrance, which has a motion-sensitive sliding door during business hours.

Parking and Logistics

The court has its own parking lot. The lot may be entered from either Tuolumne Street (main entrance) or Virginia Street. Upon entering the parking lot from Tuolumne Street, the court is on your left and the Health & Social Services building is on your right. ADA parking is located immediately behind the Health & Social Services building.

For public transit, SolTrans buses serve the area, and ferry service connects Vallejo to San Francisco. The courthouse is accessible via I-80 (Tennessee Street exit) and is within walking distance of downtown Vallejo.
