This court could not possibly do a better job of focusing on rehabilitation for juveniles. Judge Grendell is an absolute life saver!
- ★★★★★Beth WestGoogle
Had dealings more than once with the Judge and Court Staff. Helpful, friendly and considerate. Except for the long hike up the 10,000 stairs!

overall ive been treated relatively fairly in Geauga County. Magistrate Barbara Powell is someone that comes to mind as particularly fair and balanced.

If I could I would give zero stars No one knows what they are doing it seems The Honor literally did not listen to us in court when we stated the parents where living the state and had money to do it from a last check The bailiff/ sheriff that was supposed to hand deliver the the court hearing paperwork instead literally post it on the mailbox and the honor says will we don’t know if they got it or not cause it was posted on mailbox. Seriously someone should be fired for not doing their job cause that was not checked on the court documents. The honor didn’t even seem worried that children are so young and JFS had took them from parents before. The parents haven’t even had them back for a year.
