If you are a victim of a crime in which restitution was ordered, you may contact the Alameda County District Attorney's Office or your own attorney for assistance.
If you have been ordered to pay victim restitution and have questions, please contact your attorney or probation officer before contacting the Court.

Petition for Dismissal/Expungement

The California Penal Code allows some defendants that meet certain requirements to file a petition for dismissal/expungement. 
Please note that even if the Court orders dismissal/expungement, it may still count as a prior felony offense.

The local form, Petition for Dismissal pursuant to 1203.4, can be obtained from any court location.  The petitioner may be ordered to pay for it.  If you have questions, please check with your attorney.

Drug Treatment Courts

The federal and California state governments are jointly promoting the expansion of "drug treatment courts." Drug courts combine the close supervision of the judicial process with resources available through alcohol and drug-treatment services. The goals are to reduce recidivism of drug-related offenses and to create options within the criminal justice system to tailor effective and appropriate resources to offenders with drug problems.
For more information, contact the Alameda County Superior Court Drug Court Services Office at (510) 272-1216.
Visit the Alameda Collaborative/Treatment Court webpage.

Information about Court Records

Please view Records page on this site.

Fee and Bail Schedules

The clerk must charge fees for the cost of providing copies and doing record searches to help pay for the Court's cost of doing business per Government Code section 680. Fees for these services are detailed in the Fee Schedule.
For fee information regarding motions to set aside bail forfeiture/motions to set aside summary judgment, please see the Court's Fee Schedule.

Scam Alert
The Jury Services unit of the Superior Court of Alameda County does not call citizens to request payment for failing to appear for jury service. California law does not permit citizens to pay a fine in lieu of jury service; a fine may be assessed, but the citizen would still be required to reschedule jury service for a later date. Please be advised that any requests for such information may be a scam. This notice provides guidance as to how to proceed if you think you are being targeted by this scam.
