Who to Call About a Loved One at Fresno County (quick contact list)

Start with Fresno Superior Court General Information at (559) 457-2000. Not sure which department handles your question? This is your best first call - they'll point you in the right direction.

For criminal matters tied to the Jail Annex, call the Criminal Courts departments directly: Dept. 95 at (559) 457-6358 or Dept. 96 at (559) 457-6359. These two numbers are what most people need when asking about a criminal case at the Jail Annex.

For juvenile cases, call Juvenile Justice / Juvenile Dependency at (559) 457-4810. The office is at 3333 E. American Ave. - useful for confirming you've reached the right place for a youth case.

Criminal Courts Departments 95 and 96 at the Jail Annex are open Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. Calling outside those hours? Try again during that weekday window.

To reach the Jail Annex criminal calendars directly: Dept. 95 at (559) 457-6358, Dept. 96 at (559) 457-6359. If you already know which department handles the case, calling these lines directly saves time.

Questions about juvenile matters? Call (559) 457-4810 for Juvenile Justice and Juvenile Dependency. The office is at 3333 E. American Ave., which helps confirm you're dealing with the juvenile side - not adult criminal departments.

Not sure where to start? Keep getting transferred? Call Fresno Superior Court General Information at (559) 457-2000. It's the simplest starting point when you don't know the right department.

Trying to reach the clerk's office at the M Street Courthouse? Their public counter is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. The main Fresno Superior Court address is 1100 Van Ness Avenue, Fresno, CA 93724-0002.

Phone trees and department lines change, so double-check current listings on the Fresno Superior Court's official locations/contact information and public telephone numbers pages. Focus on the General Information line and Jail Annex Dept. 95/96 details first - those are the most common starting points for families.
