The Los Angeles County Superior Court has jurisdiction over small claims actions in Hacienda Heights, but in terms of where to file a small claims case, it gets complicated because there are 48 superior court locations in Los Angeles. The court has rules regarding at which of these locations you should file a small claims case depending on a variety of factors. For most of Hacienda Heights, you should file at the Whittier Courthouse; some parts of Hacienda Heights, however, must file small claims cases at the West Covina Courthouse. In addition, the Los Angeles Superior Court is now taking caseload distribution into account when assigning filing locations.
Your first step probably should be to call the Whitter Courthouse small claims clerk at 562-907-3127 and ask which courthouse you should file at. When you call, make sure you know where the defendant lives and where the events leading to the case took place in case that affects the filing location.
