Waited 1.5 hrs to see judge for traffic court and they were not busy at all.

Can't miss the court house unless you are blind or impaired. Beautiful old side and high functioning new side joined at the hip. Officers, clerks, judges (only meet Judge Patton and saw Judge O'Connor), and attorneys were all welcoming, helpful and pleasant. Judge Patton, because I actually had the opportunity to witness a hearing and introduce myself, is engaging, highly knowledgeable, humble, and seems a really good guy that loves what he does. He is not swayed by rhetoric and follows logic, reasoning and the law. O'Connor has a great presence in the courtroom keeping everyone at task, knows his law, and likes to get cases resolved not just allowing any side to arbitrarily delay. The clerks are incredibly helpful and kind to all that entered their office. Looking forward to another visit in 2020.
