Got a angry cop at the front door not sure what his problem is but he's always got a attitude. This place always gives me a hassle for simple things.

Got a show cause for not turning in a conceal weapon permit. Never got anything saying it was supposed to be turned in. Now I have to go to court and explain why I never turned it in. The courts sent a deputy to the door with a show cause but didnt send one to the door with an order for me to turn in my conceal permit. I gave them one star because 0 wasnt an option .

The Circuit Court is beyond broken. They have no voicemail direction telling you how to reach various departments. If you want to reach someone you better know who you want to call so you can dial by name. The record room's voicemail has been full for days and so you can't leave a voicemail. The gentleman who answer's the Clerk's phone, when he finally answers, gave me more attitude than is necessary. They need more help in the Clerk's office, but the City will never give them the budget for it.

My mom and I were coming from Richmond of 2025 Dominion Energy Christmas Parade, and then we finally made it early at the parking lot of the city courthouse in Old Towne Petersburg.

Very rude especially when they’ve seen you had a “case” they seem to treat you less of no matter the circumstances or how long ago it was, doesn’t matter treat people with decency, respect and answer the phones!
