Ottawa Courthouse

They never respond to phone calls, and never call back when you leave a voice message. They mail back documents saying the documents don't meet the court requirements. When you mail them everything per their requirements, they run out of excuses and claim they've never received your mail. I have lost faith. Nobody cares, and there is no justice system.

I was bounced around 6 time to the same 3 desks and told from each one that the other one had the documents. Very low employment standards or the staff knows they dont have to do anything but collect a cheque.

Well here we are at Ottawa's Courthouse. It's a fairly modern building, well lit, professional and courteous (if overworked) staff. The staff I dealt with were quite pleasant and my overall experience was positive. Lost my favourite pocket knife upon entry though, but it's just something that didn't occur to me. Oops.

Takes forever juz to get in the buildin.

I went in for family court and asked the front "information" desk what court room I had been assigned to appear in and they told me the wrong one! Luckily for me I was able to find someone that could point me in the right direction even though I was a bit late I was able to attend. If I had not shown up the judge would have issued a bench warrant for my arrest (on top of the 400$ court fee). At my court hearing I had to represent myself because I couldn't afford a lawyer and didn't "qualify" for legal aid even though I haven't been working due to being injured now how's that for "justice" ?
