Mary, the lady that works there, was such a blessing to our family! She truly went the extra mile to help us when people at the other courts could not.

The probate court ladies are so rude. Didn't drive 50 miles to get talk to like poo. You ladies need to take a corse on communicating skill, which yall lack. Hopefully I never have to deal with again. Thanks for the bad attitude I lefted with. It wouldn't hurt to be nice to people. If you are having a bad day , save it for your home life.
