Do you all have a janitor? A few weeks ago I was on the 4th floor waiting in one of the waiting areas and there was blood drips and blood smears on the wooden seating. That was gross and obviously nobody is cleaning those areas. It was at the Judicial Center. I tried to delete this post and put it under the right office but it wouldn't let me.

Judges refuse to see evidence and don't let people speak in their own cases police wrongfully arrested me and illegally searched my house. Clerks here refuse to give me right paperwork saying they don't know but still have a job. Yet know what papers to press against me though. Officers had no search warrant, showed up at my house guns pointed at me being unarmed and cause I called em out and tried to run for phone to record they wrongfully arrested me.im continuing case till doj investigates last 5yrs.

I’m leaving one star, specifically for Joan at the windows. She initially ignored me for a minute after I approached the window and was incredibly rude to me when she finally addressed me- and for absolutely no reason! I was patiently waiting and even flashed her a smile. She was huffing and puffing, snapped at me when I asked for a pen, snapped at me to pass the papers through the circle instead of the metal slot, she was just extremely snobby the entire time, as if I inconvenienced her??? When I asked her what her name was she snapped “Joan!” I asked for her last name as well and she snapped “JOAN!” again so aggressively, I was actually shocked. I immediately walked out and asked an officer who I should report her and complain to. She is NOT someone who should be working with the public at all. I called to complain to the person in charge, who was very nice and apologetic by the way!! That was so disappointing and has ruined my entire day. Which is sad to say because I usually have a very pleasant experience in this place, despite it being a courthouse. Judge Stevens is a very kind, laid back and fair man! Always a pleasure being in his courtroom! I wish I knew the name of the sweet long haired brunette lady who I usually see at the windows, I recommend looking for her!
