I had to renew my drivers license, as I just moved here. Mary Jane helped me. She is funny and great at her job! She was fast, had me in and out! Much better than Lexington employees. I love my new home in Paris Kentucky!

The staff is extremely rude… husband had court yesterday judge told us the bond was released so we went to see if the check was ready it wasn’t that day which is fine went today to see if it was ready today 12/14 lady got smart and told us she would call us when the money is ready. So I just called not to long ago and I don’t know if it was the same lady or not but she got smart/rude again usually I would’ve got smart back but I didn’t this time it’s just Crazy really disappointed.

Very helpful and nice people here. I have appeared remotely several times and the clerks are always helpful and kind. Judge Rhonda Cole is the best. I will happily practice here again. They always answer all questions. Keep up the good work!!
