No one said the court house is supposed to be fun I was just down there and everyone was very helpful to me I took care of a few different things and I only spent 2 hours down there due to the fact that people were directing me where I needed to go

This place is a joke...you go from room to room to room and back and fourth...no matter what the reason is why you're there...you have to Google everything or else you won't get the help you need. Try to stay away room here at all cost.

I came in with a positive and excited attitude (applying for my marriage license) and at each interaction with the employees I was met with nothing but rudeness and pompous attitudes. They really spoiled the whole thing for me and I felt bummed out.

I called directly about passports because I have questions and would like to set up a time for a meeting. The call back I received after leaving a voicemail, this person just told me to go to the website. Thanks, very helpful, I would not have called in first place if that would have solved it. Maybe Google should change this due to them diverting back to the website that will not load.

Very thoughtful, kind people behind the counter. The marriage license process was also very quick and easy.
