The district court staff, and the judge were extremely pleasant and helpful! This is not the first time either. They've gone out of there way trying to resolve a 20 year old driving issue of mine for more than 5 years now. The real kicker is it's not even because of Kansas it's a Nebraska issue. As of today the issue is finally taken care of! A big thank you again to Judge Tate and the ladies at the desk for all there time and effort
