Needs to be more organized. They never call back, nobody knows anything about the paperwork that comes thru. Expect to be transferred around a lot. On the other hand they are very friendly.
I had to get copies from the property deeds and county clerk offices. The employees at both offices were kind and helpful. Great customer service!
At the center of the "Shelbyville Plan" Town Square, this 1935 Courthouse hasn't changed much in 80 years. The architecture and atmosphere will take you back to a simpler time. As it hasn't kept up with growth and a changing culture, it lacks the size and security of newer courthouses. Walk in and enjoy the ambiance while you can. The courts and several offices will be leaving in the latter part of 2019. Maybe it will become an events center or museum. But with no firm plans in place, I recommend you tour this facility as soon as possible and see history while it's still being made.
The ladies in the office were I had to do my business was extremely nice as well as helpful.
Good for a courthouse but who wants to go to court lol but all jokes aside it's a nice place..
Great customer service. Gwen was very friendly and helpful.
The number on their website is disconnected and there is no way to reach them otherwise. I'm sure that's all you need to know about how they run their court
Clerks office gives the best service you can expect. However, Detective Jason Ramsey of The Newport Police Department is the architect of the September, 13th, 2010 Murder, and Kidnapping and Arson of our home just across the Sevier County Lines off of Rocky Flats Road. He is still harassing my family by another recent Kidnapping of myself and Blackmail of two members of this family. He is big time now that he has cross Federal Lines of Decency. Keep this man away from your children. There is a private reward for the prosecution of Jason Ramsey for the crimes mentioned above. Mr Ramsey, " Big Time Mountain Tracker" should know where her remains are because he placed them there. Jason Ramsey seems to have a video tape he wants to show people. What he has is a death sentence for not only him but the The women in the video and her husband. Awesome. This means that The Great State of Tennessee could give all three of these scumbags the death penalty and leave the incompetence of florida out of it, and bring Justice to it's survivors. Good news for these folks is that The great State of Tennessee will allow them to have their choice of either the electric chair or lethal injection. It saddens me to have to write a review like this pertaining to The Newport Police department, especially because they have been an outstanding bunch of people during my 25 years of tincture living, working and building my home in Cocke County area. I was never pulled over once during this time. I encountered them twice six years apart when I ran out of gas on The Cosby Highway. Each time they brought me five gallons of gas when I became stranded. Always pleasant and would not accept money for the gas. A very pleasant exchange. They were both fast and respectful and gracious. There is major corruption here. They need a major overhaul to weed out the corruption and bring the cops higher pay and all the specialize new technology. The Mayor should think about this and many other issues, or The People need to think long and hard when they select a Mayor. Remember, God doesn't forgive murderers. God burns them.
Easy entrance fast service
Arcitiure is great beautiful town square great place to live and just visit people are great and friendly
Don't like going, only a few select people are nice. Tags are Way too expensive.
There about fairness and justice.
Money-grubbing operation. We had someone trying to get employment, but said information on their background had been updated. No problem right? I'll just call the court to confirm what they are saying...I call and the clerk says because it relates to an employment screening, I would have to mail $6. Are you serious? How is that ethical? I am calling like anyone else, but because I have a purpose that really needs the information, I am extorted monies?
Online it says they open at 8 but it's really 8:30 they should update that information. Trying to call while at work makes it difficult already when you work at a factory and have to be at work before 8 wish I would have known 8:30 so I wouldn't have to wait even longer to get to work...
Judge Angel was so kind and helpful in our case.
Very fun to walk to and spend some time
I went to this website for a specific purpose but was given an option of two phone #s. I left a message with the first one by was highly agitated that the second sent me to the Mayors answering machine🤷🏼♀️ Was I not on the right web site? It took long enough to find this site, I’m not tech savvy at all
The area has a serious education deficit. I have a special needs child we are having to move just so she can have a chance. There are very few opportunities are when the factories ext. Do hire sparse. The people who live here, are hardened by poverty. The law and justice systems are unlike anything I have ever seen. I went to court with a family member and the judge came in overalls. The entire county is different. It is a nice place to visit. Many littel hidden gems. All in the way to some other place. I have lived in most of the southern states. I have even lived I thought deep in the country. You have heard bad jokes about this area that stem from reason. I was lucky my husbands family moved young so we know it through other family. Great places to see, I would not recommend living here. As with many cut off southern counties, the biggest influx of money is from the systems of justice. This is just a fact of people especially in Appalachia. Lost culture, this area was at one time a great farming center. The sad truth living in areas made sick from drugs and poverty scar everything. The scar has yet to form here it is still scattered and scabby.
Is this where I pay a citation at
Unprofessional and downright RUDE! The building is a confusing mess. The judge did not listen and was unnecessarily harsh for a simple speeding ticket.
As far as I know, this place is fine. I've never been there, but I'm adding this review since I accidentally rated it.
As long as u go in front of judge Ross. He is a very fair man. Will work with u just dont lie to him seen ppl do that an it dont end well for them.
In and out quick on a Tuesday morning so that's good, but the judge was late so minus a star. Also they say it's cheaper if you come to court, but they only knock off 5 bucks, -half a star. Individual cashiers have little or no change, - a half (get them girls some change!). But hey the general sessions judge was nice and very lenient to most people even though they are highway robbing people like pirates.
What a bunch of mindlessness! I received email notification about my car tags expiring in June 2020. I had the option to pay & order this next year’s decal. The office took my money and sent me the same year 2020 to stick on my tags. It expires at the end of this June!! What is going on??
My son received a traffic ticket leaving the drive in. The officer who pulled him over didn’t actually pull him over. He went speeding by him to pull over another car . My son did look at his speedometer because he had lights behind him. He was going 45 mph. He kept driving and 2 miles later he came to the intersection where the trooper had the other car pulled over. The trooper motioned him to pull over. My son was in a black truck . The trooper wrote white truck on his ticket. The judge said because he had the make and model correct the she sided with the trooper. The judge didnt think about it at all. She made a spontaneous decision. The trooper got the make and model from his registration so of course that was correct. The whole hearing lasted about 3 minutes. My son was naive thinking there would be time and thought put into it. He learned a valuable lesson. The court just wants you in and out. I believe the trooper while trying to multi task and some how clock two cars was confused but gave my son a ticket for doing 57 in a 45. The trooper said by eyeballing him he thought he was doing 58 in court. It all seemed very unprofessional
They have always been good to me. Fair, not always easy but good and fair.
I needed some info in regards to filing a petition and getting some certified documents from the clerks office. As you probably know, it can take days and sometimes weeks to ever hear anything back from someone. Not in this case, I emailed the Circuit Court Clerk Kevin Poe and not only did he answer my question immediately, he also checked on and researched the information I was needing in regards to the petition I was filing to make sure that I was going the right direction in the matter I was pursuing. Top notch service from top notch people! What more could you ask for!
Came here to change my name, everyone I spoke with was kind and informative.
Maker’s Mark chose our little town to light up this year!
I called the office regarding the need to set up probate to settle my mom's estate and my questions were answered courteously and promptly. The clerk to which I spoke was very kind and considerate and very professional.
8 years ago before I moved here to Daytona Beach, Fl , I got a ticket that I DID pay for before I moved. Well here 8 years later my license needs to be re newed. So i went to the DMV here in Fl only to find out that TN has suspend my license. You can only imagine how confused I was at this point. So after a few phone calls, I got ahold of someone at the court house, I was told that I did pay for my ticket but that the person that took the payment never processed the rest of the paperwork. So i had to pay a reinstatement fee to get back my license because of someones messes up. Also it takes a few days for it process in the system and my birthday is on the 18th. I guess all i can say is im so extremely disappointed.
Excellent service and very friendly polite employees
It's a kangaroo court where da and pd and judges especially judge Myers work to squeeze and collect the most money guilty or not I was verbally bullied bu DCs court liaison danessa heard in front of my oldest was told pleading guilty to false accusations and charged was the only way I would see my youngest or bring her home
Cause my attorney dod not know that tim guider had a brother who was a pedestrian and drug tested many of the juvenile people on probation now their adults
They have always been so helpful and efficient.
Just country court house
Worst jail and court I have ever been to was there for driving stayed in the court house for 7 hours just to pled guilty after in told the DA I'm guilty already
Longest recess. Happens right after docket is called. Pretty stupid. Tells everyone to stay in the court room then doesn’t come back for an hour.
My wife and I just got our passports from the circuit court. The ladies were super kind and patient and gave us new forms when we found out one of the ones we printed out online was incorrect. The passports arrived in less than two weeks! The last time I did this was in Altlanta and it took 3 months! 5 stars! Thanks so much for your help!
Darrell is doing a great job. He has a wonderful staff.
Not high on the to-do list while travelling, but should you find yourself with an 'appointment', come well dressed and well represented, arrive early, and be polite. It's a courthouse, get it? The courthouse ia a quaint, old historic building like something out of a movie... Footsteps echo down the polished halls. Spotless and efficient. Parking is easy and cheap and daytime eats are across the street.
You should change the time it says your open
NOBODY KNOWS HOW.TO ANSWER THE GOD DANG PHONE
the DA asks for information for bail and a week passes and does not give an answer ... what happened he went on vacation? it is unfair someone has to look at this state they are breaking many laws
Thank you Judge Scarlett for fighting against legal corruption to reunite my family. God bless justice reform in 2020.
Nobody was wearing masks....very rude and un helpful...
Everyone in the building helped me except for the one court I needed to help me which unfortunately was probate court. All the women of 146 Adams were smiling and friendly except for them, the customer service they provided was appalling. The people inside were just standing around talking to each other not helping anyone while claiming that their appointments for the day we’re full although no other court in the building requires an appointment. All I was requesting was a copy of an old document. The number listed outside of the probate court is basically useless, despite calling multiple times they won’t answer, even though they’re clearly on the other side of the door standing around chitchatting.
I just called to check on a price for an ticket I received and I was calling to see if I could get any information on how long it takes for the ticket information to pull up on website or in their system. So instead of the secretary or whatever she is, at least try to direct me to how I could get this information. She just tell me to call divorce court? Why would you have attitude when someone calls to get information!! And if you could comprehend what I was saying then ask me over again what did I call for? I guess customer service, hospitality, or just leaving your issues at home when your at work; doesn't exist anymore!! I looked up a number on google that gave me information about where to call for traffics ticket information!!! But I guess that didn't matter either because she kept telling me to call divorce court! Then when I asked about a ticket, she then tells me that's not the place to call about that information. If you work for the city, have access to the right number. Why wouldn't you give me the number to make it easier and also just to be helpful?? No. I guess not today. I hope today gets better for her but next time it would be great to have someone that answers your calls to be more expressive and light hearted. Not cold and mad at the world for god knows why, but I didn't do it to her so she should lighten up more. I only called a number that was given to me to check for a price of an ticket of a vehicle! I'm sorry I called you today! Thanks for start my day off with more bs!!
They are being very ⚠ at the court house , that I'm very grateful for cause not all places are taking things serious and they shld. cause notices some not concern for others well being 😞.They do require mask and check temps. so if u need or have to go. Also call if u have a court date I recommend cause some are being pushed off til later.
CROOKS! They are trying to revoke my husband's license from something from almost 7 years ago that I stood there and watched him pay all of his fines and fees in full. This is the second time they have tried to pull this stunt. He even paid all probation fees in full same day because per their agreement he would not be released from probation and had his charges dropped unless everything was paid. So took care of it then and there. I was there. Reminds me of when he got a ticket, went and paid it, they came back saying he never paid it, he took the receipt to them to show he paid it, and the lady said "that isn't our receipt" then he pointed out a different receipt book laying on a woman's desk with the same exact receipts that he had in his hand, and immediately the woman barked "we don't need to steal your money". He never said they did. So he had to pay it twice. NEVER PAY CASH.
From the Car Tag and Title office (Mitzi Bowen) to the Tax assessors office (Amanda and Debbie), the people are so incredibly friendly and helpful. They absolutely have done backflips helping these two GA retirees get established in their TN retirement paradise. We will be pleased to call Unicoi home and sing your praises to our friends and family.
I'm writing this review about the building because I like old courthouses. This one has a very nice architecture.
Good people doing the best they can for the most part.. Trying to deal with the same bureaucracy we are all forced to deal with unfortunately 😕 In other words.. don't hate the player,.. hate the game!
Rules are not defined until in line to go in. Was made to return my phone to my car for no good reason, then after standing in line the second time was told I had to wait until the end to be seen by the judge because I had a child with me. They wouldn't allow me to go in the courtroom. I was told to leave 2 and a half hrs later because my child was tired of sitting there and was getting restless in the lobby. Then they want to try and suspend my license for not coming to court.... they try to keep poor people poor in this area.
Very professional office, loved the one on one personal touch with each individual. Mrs Wilson has a great organization and here’s to many years of great service to our community.
One of the judges continuously talks to others while not assessing the cases. The other judge cannot go through the day without constant breaks throughout the day while also talking about personal experiences rather than doing his job
The clerks that take your payments over phone are a bunch of inept people. I called 3 times to make payment. 2 out of 3 actually found the correct person. One worker told me my balance was over 2,000 and at that time I knew I didn't want to make my payment with her. The website charges a convenient fee as well as over the phone. Why??? The website isn't user friendly. I couldn't even make a payment and then I call to make it over the phn and not much help from the clerks. All that money they fine people should go towards a new website that actually works and hire new clerks that knows what they are doing.
