Counsel for civil lawsuits: filing, defending, trying and settling cases in California courts. In Nevada County, that work runs through the Superior Court of California, County of Nevada. This directory presents litigation records from official State Bar of California data in neutral order.

A Gold Country county straddling the Sierra crest; the courthouse in Nevada City serves the western county around Grass Valley, while a Truckee branch handles matters for the Tahoe-area east side.

The law also keeps time: two years for personal injury (§ 335.1); four years on a written contract (§ 337); three years for property damage and fraud (§ 338); two years on an oral contract (§ 339) under Cal. Code Civ. Proc. §§ 335.1, 337, 338, 339. A defendant served with a summons generally has 30 days to respond (Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 412.20(a)(3)).
