This Is Not a Government Office. Lawrence County Court Records is a private reference site. We cannot pull official documents, file paperwork, clear warrants, schedule jail visits, or issue certified copies. Official records must be requested from the Lawrence County or Pennsylvania office that maintains them.
Need an Official Document?
Use the Lawrence County Government Center, 430 Court Street, New Castle, PA 16101-3503, phone (724) 658-2541, Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., as the general county office starting point when a direct department page does not list a current number. The record type still controls the correct custodian:
- Civil court case files and divorce decrees: contact the Lawrence County Prothonotary for Common Pleas civil, family, judgment, lien, custody, and protection-from-abuse records
- Criminal Common Pleas records: contact the Lawrence County Clerk of Courts for criminal filings, sentencing orders, financial obligations, bail entries, and certified criminal case copies
- Marriage records, wills, estates, and Orphans' Court records: contact the Register of Wills and Clerk of Orphans' Court
- Traffic, summary, landlord-tenant, small civil, and preliminary criminal dockets: contact the assigned Magisterial District Judge office or search the UJS MDJ docket tool
- Jail custody information: contact Lawrence County Jail administration and use Pennsylvania VINE or DOC resources when applicable
- Warrant questions: check the issuing court, Clerk of Courts, assigned MDJ office, or Sheriff's Office rather than relying on unofficial lists
- State driver records: use PennDOT driver-record services, since a court traffic docket is not the same file
