I have been dealing with these people for over 20 years and every time they have been respectful and shown me Every Way that they could to help.

The clerk's office upstairs is disrespectful and unhelpful to its clients and cannot keep track of its own police force actions. Will show u where to sign but won't explain what it means until they can take more money from you.
