I needed to pick up a legal document. It was ready when I got there since I called ahead to get information and request the service. Donna was very helpful and extremely friendly. Parking was very expensive but convenient.

The woman working at the Probate Court Office desk is delightful. She was so helpful and friendly both when I came with my wife for our marriage certificate and when I came back after officiating my sister's wedding.

Was there to get a copy of my friend's marriage license from back in the 1990's along with her husband. Staff was friendly and went above and beyond helping us find and certify the document so she could get her insurance restored.
