Why post my review? It won't let me. A very corrupt Hustling county. Racquet in a cirrupt COURT
I just want to thank the clerk's here who helped us. You have been amazing in helping my son Bradley. I appreciate how helpful and understanding you all are. Thank you again!
Can you give negative stars the judge is corrupt in family law
Soooo someone wanna tell me How they expect me to pay my ticket if no one answers the damn phone??
I was issued over $200 in parking tickets, while sailing Gull lake. I paid the launch fee and my vehicle/boat trailer was parked at launch. I was issued two tickets $120 each because I was parked after hours (no signage stating “no overnight parking). The two other people who I was sailing with were both parked there also, only I received tickets. I Tried multiple times to contact the township that issued the tickets, they keep odd hours and have been closed due to covid. I’ve contacted the court they informed me, due to the township being closed I missed my opportunity to contest the two different tickets I received... How can anyone think charging $120 TWICE for parking at a boat launch that I paid for is reasonable let alone even legal!?! Now I can’t even contact anyone at the Barry county courthouse! But they sent notification that they are suspending my drivers license, in which I will lose my CDL and be unable to work... all because I participated in a sailboat race on Gull lake and was unaware I could NOT be on Gull lake after 9pm... I would understand a $50 parking ticket, but $240 plus fees is insane and should be illegal!! Or I should at least have the right to contest!!
Very horrible when you are colored please don’t try to get help they will not help protect you against no white ppl which is not fair at all trial was not fair so it is ok to be stalked and not feel safe at your own home that makes no since so what should I do just feel scared while I go to sleep at night the judge was very horrible didn’t allow me to tell my part but just kept interrupting me I wish there was fairness in this world
Not there to serve and protect
Please watch "Trials of Gabriel Fernandez" and ask yourself if you are doing the right thing for children. Placing a child in an environment where CPS has to create a child safety plan and the partial guardian has multiple court cases for domestic violence is NOT a safe place for a child. At least consider supervised visitation. Do something, anything for these kids. It's not the childs responsibility to be subjected to mental/physical trauma while you are focusing on the well-being of the adult.
Family court needs reform
Been visiting here for years as it is located in my hometown. Right now you do have to be let in. They check temps, you need a mask and have to fill out a questionnaire. But you can go anywhere you need to inside.
Very helpful Court Clerks.
Facilitation to obtain records is fast and simple: call, request documents, provide credit card. Documents are mailed the same day!
I've been here a few times (over several years) because a friend was attending court. Neither of us were from the area. The free and close parking was great. The stairs leading up are ubsurd, about 2 inches high (-1). Guards upon entrance have always been nice and friendly. The clothing attire and often loud offensive language in the hallways outside the courtrooms is insane (-1). If you are not from the area dress like how you dress to go grocery shopping. Because that way you will be more properly dressed than most with half the effort.
I work at a law firm and call courts all day, every day. Most people are helpful, but Darnetta is something special. She's friendly and positive and one of the most helpful court employees that I've ever worked with in my 25 years in law. She's a gem and they're lucky to have her!
Terrible people. Terrible staff. Awful treatment of humans
Incompetent always make mistakes with any paperwork so be prepared to redo anything you send them
This is an excellent court to apply a growth mindset with the prosecutor and judge. My clients come to this court charged with crimes, but we work to expand the case from the 4 corners of the ticket and police report. It's more equitable for a client to be judged on who they were before the incident and what they are doing in the present to learn and grow. The right approach is what is key to a fair and just outcome in this court.
hate this place
0 stars, if it was possible.
I was transported and held in the clare county jail system for the 35th district court in plymouth michigan. The nurse diagnosed me with tonsillitis but i was refused any form of treatment other then the occasional Tylenol until my release 16 days after my diagnoses resulting in hospitalization. I asked correctional officer after correctional officer for medical kites. When that failed i asked for grievances (they reach higher up then tge CO's) only to be told i had no legal right to ask for one. To add to the correctional officers lists or neglectful behaviors a young man came in with some drugs like you see very often only this young man would spend his last days on earth in jail. He overdosed on his cell and when the CO came in we were told it wasnt his business that the next shift could handle it. Not but minutes after the kid quit breathing and his body was left in the cell for 4 hours. Its common for guards not to do hourly rounds but to pass threw at meals and end of the day count then a 5th time at lights out. Drugs plague the jail and are more common then envelopes. Over all this is has got to be the most ignorantly run county jail in the state. One last honorable mention to the fact that they served a raw potatoe to everyone in the jail for a meal one day and "made it up" by giving people double portions of powder milk.
I called to get something cleared up today to help my boyfriend and I had the best help possible! I didn't have all the information and was trying hard to get the mess fixed and she went above and beyond to help me. I appreciate this kind of help so much. I understand people are not always easy to deal with under stress and that made a world of difference. Thank you for the amazing customer service!
This place is the absolute worst. First off I had to drive 40 minutes just to pay a traffic ticket. Their recording said they were open till 5 but once I got there on time they said they closed down an couldn't take my money. Next day I had Allstate send the court a fax of my proof or insurance so I didn't have to deal with the court anymore. Next week I got a bill for 155 dollars! A $25 ticket turned into $155! So, I called down to the court and they claim I never had my insurance faxed. Anyways, Allstate told me that they sent it to the courthouse. Feel bad for everyone else in my shoes because I'm sure this happens all the time
About to go again tomorrow to pay stuff off but last time i went the judge was very nice and fair. Hopefully tomorrow goes as well. Thanks for treating me like a human being when other systems have treated me as just another case.
front desk clerk was very polite and offered good service. they had nice security and i felt safe in the building knowing they were professional. however, probably some of the most unjust judges i have ever come across
First of all, I have little / no legal experience and was so THANKFUL for the help provided by the staff while navigating the guardianship process. It was a daunting task and very high stakes getting a family member the help they desperately needed. Everyone was patient and helpful throughout the process and, while I intend to write a formal letter highlighting in more detail, felt compelled to share my personal experience online.
Don’t know what your talking about. The most respectable judge I met to date. You don’t need to hate on a judge that’s doing their job correctly and to the law, you must be the criminal in such a case.
Sometimes we don''t know what we don't know!! However, when we ask the right questions, we can get immediate help or advice! That was my experience this afternoon with the probate court. Thanks to the Probate Registrar for her kind help today after I finally asked the right question. Advice before making inquiries---: do your homework first, folks, so you know which questions to ask! There you have it!
Older dated building- Was there for a traffic violation fall 2017 There's only a couple of ppl that was nice to me in there. Dislike how much I felt judged, when I only had minor traffic issue. Deff not a criminal.
Friendly and efficient staff.
Krisha and Lorry were so helpful in a stressful situation.We thank you!
My recent experience with the customer service at the Grand Traverse Clerk's office was wonderful. I had inquired about getting copies of my son's birth certificate which we haven't been able to get all spring due to the closing of governmental centers, and they were incredibly helpful in offering assistance for filling out our application and making our payment digitally, and within 48 hours we had the copies of the birth certificate mailed to us. Thank you for the speedy and helpful service!
Very unprofessional
Quick and very polite
My own experience at this place has never happenedbut a person that has been to that court is trying to hurt me and he has already been in a bad car accidentand killed someone with zero remorse
Nice historic building. I thought wait time at clerks office was a little long.
What business doesn’t post their hours on their website? I called to ask for hours and was sent to voicemail. Not very professional.
I keep getting told to call back during business hours M-F 8:30 -5pm. I have been calling for two weeks now with the same message!
Where as I am not a fan of the state or it's policy. I have had no problems contacting my case worker and normally get a return call from them within a few hours or next day. They are always polite and try to help me in anyway they can and explain any questions I may have. Miss Robluski? Spelling? Has been especially efficient and cordial.
The majestic presence of this courthouse building in the middle of the square in downtown Mason transports one to a simpler time in America. No matter how urgent your business, stepping inside will slow you down. The ornate woodwork is a great frame for the historical displays throughout the building. Take some time out of your busy schedule to enjoy this hidden gem.
The secretary was very rude. I called the wrong part of the court office and she was not polite about it at all.
The employees don't even know how to accept payment for a traffic ticket. I offered to help someone pay theirs because it was their first offense, but was a mess and the ticket still isn't paid because the office that is supposed to take payments is clueless how to do such thing (how can this happen?). I lived in a different state for 9 years and never had a problem like this. After talking with the state police who issued the ticket, they referred me to a phone number which brings us back to the same people who are not sure what to do. The court worker found the ticket record and knows exactly how much to charge but didn't know how to get it paid. Please, someone with authority please come train your employees! This is obnoxious that a government establishment is so incompetent. The employee didn't know who could step in and help but confirmed it was her hired duty to accept court payments. This is day 8 and the ticket states that it should be paid in 14 days. Michigan State Police is just as surprised as we are, and can't figure out what to do because nobody else can take the money or void the ticket. Whoever sits in this position needs to be trained. We are trying to pay the ticket online and the online payment is a joke to figure out because it's like a check deposit to an account you're not sure if it's the right spot to put your money - a list of about 200 vague places that accept payment and several different selections seem like the right place. Of course the court employee has no idea how to help identify the right one because they've never seen the online pay system before, they don't know their official government office name, and they don't know who could help. The court employee was freaking out on the phone and I can't imagine that this is the first ticket ever issued in this county.
Good judges knowledgable staff.
Built in the late 1800's this courthouse still has many of the original features and even a special room on history!
The blind lead the blind in this court house. If you have the unfortunate luck of working with Roxanna Covington and referee Nick Wood, request a withholding from their wages, as you do a majority of their work for them.
Judgement made without hearing any of the truth. Causing my poor Altzermers afflicted mother to suffer her last days in that hell hole. Rappleye has NO Conscience! But, she will suffer the consequences of karma one day!
Paid my warrant off and was told I didn't need to return to jackson. Now I do or another warrant will be issued. Get your info corrcet. I'm not coming back to Jackson so just come pick me up now.
Clerical staff is outstanding. Always courteous and helpful. Jackson County Judges are among the best in the State.
Very helpful with obtaining guardianship. They offer free advise from probate lawyers 2x a month.
I would like to say that I sent a petition paperwork to the court house and I hope you get it and I need your email address so I can email you or you can email me at marrerojamie57@gmail.com please email me back let me know if you can help us with something
Kalkaska county I'm proud of you for impeaching the overreaching governor.
Downtown location, and just like everywhere else downtown be prepared to pay to park.
To all you whiners, complainers and 1 star reviewers; Try going to the 50th District Court in Pontiac, and everything will be put in perspective for you. The folks at the 63rd District Court are great.
Very quick and easy to use court case research tool! I found out that one James Lee King was almost brought to injustice because of "Held and Denied" Motions to Dismiss / for Discovery. If only I could get a copy of the trial transcripts for a research project.
Very CORRUPT. This court doesn't recognize children's rights. Even with knowledge that children have been denied to see other parent 8 days in two years and have been alienated they go on like business is regular. Fails to follow custody laws. Who can say it's constitutional to give sole custody to an abuser in a default judgment? Look closer and I'm sure you will find plenty of violations against children.
This is probably the worst county to Deal with a custody case! The don’t care if kids are alienated from the other parent, they don’t care about the children’s best interest at all. It’s honestly so sick and sad.
Got the forms and filed them online. Filling out the forms in PDF format was a bit difficult
