Attorney Shannan M. Kane was amazing she went above and beyond to help my brother. We are so grateful for her time and effort she put into his case.

Worst court system in the tri county area. The judge does his job based off of his emotions. Needs to be fired, not professional at all. Out here ruining people's lifes just cause he had a bad day. I give zero stars, had to click one star to submit review

The people who work in this building are very unapproachable. Even when you call they are very rude. And I wasn't calling cause I'm in legal trouble. Was calling for a simple birth record. When you talk to people in your profession you shouldn't act like your smarter or above them. Cause you're truly not. Not even better then the drug addict that calls you for probation information. Do better montcalm county. Treat people with respect. Smh

I had to get a birth certificate for my kid, went in to find out you will be treated as an inmate. I had a box cutter on me (legal on planes and in California) yet they said they could hold me in contempt of court for having it on me. Very rude and bizarre thing when I'm on my way to work I carry a normal tool that most blue collar people need to work. Compared to Kent county clerk, this clerk is twice as expensive for the same stuff and Montcalm is way rude. Terrible place.
