Nesbett Courthouse

I truly wish I could give this place 0 stars. I just called and waiting for 15+ minutes to be directed to a woman who was UNBELIEVABLY rude when I asked her a simple, polite question.nI have never left a negative review anywhere but it was honestly so shocking and uncalled for that I can’t not.nThere are enough people in need of a job that you’d think they could find someone a little nicer.

They never answer the phone and it’s frustrating.

Magistrate openly laughed at me when I applied for a restraining order because I'm a man and the people I'm filing against are women.nnAlso. Was given a traffic court date I couldnt attend so was found guilty without getting to argue my case instead of given another court date. City is corrupt as hell.

I just don’t like this place negative atmosphere

This could very easily be a 5 star review.nI've been going through the process of changing my name, and it's been a bit frustrating. Every time I have dealt with the court clerk I've been a bit grumpy coming into the interaction, and they've always managed to be clear, informative, helpful, and pleasant; often I'm in a better mood afterwards.nThere are of course the long lines and complicated paperwork that goes with any government beurocracy, but the clerks manage to keep things moving, and helped me through the complicated parts quickly and efficiently, so people behind me weren't left waiting, but I also felt acknowledged and confident in the help I received.nReally, the only reason I didn't give a 5th star is the phone service, there was no clear option for the clerks office, so I pressed 0 for operator, and was left in phone ringing limbo for about two and a half minutes... which is a long time to listen to a phone ring.nOnce it was answered I was immediately put on hold... which was dead silence... which was worse than the ringing... it was awful.nnBut then the clerk picked back up and she answered all my questions with trademarked efficiency and finesse, and made me feel confident that I'll be able to enter the nightmare of changing my name with the social security office, the DMV, the PFD office, and all the multitude of places I need to go within a fortnight... yes I just used that word.
