The woman at the desk are always so rude and act like they absolutely hate their jobs.

Very unprofessional establishment but the staff are courteous. What are Letcher county tax dollars going to because it is definitely not this place at all. Avoid this place at all cost if you can. Don't even get me started on the Penal system in this county.

Total Incompetence and a lack of professionalism are the first words that come to mind when dealing with Letcher County Clerks Deeds and Records. They have no courtesy, respect or patience for the public they serve. Double check any and all paper work they hand you once they finally decide to bother with your inconvenience because they will hand you junk just to get you out of their office.

Very professional staff both in the vehicle license area and in the deed area. They have always been extremely nice and knowledgeable. Remember folks, customer service and being nice is a two way street.
