Terri in Bookkeeping is super helpful and VERY nice! Very pleasant to work with. Our law firm appreciates her help, as always.

Talk to somebody over there. Try to pay for a fight, and they try to tell me go on the internet, and it didn't work because I put my name on the application number and data birth. They didn't even tell me about just one of the other. And then when I called them the lady was rude to me. So yeah, people are there in Monroe. Louisiana, there is so rude. There were some Biden in the White House. That's like it's kind of stupid. You're supposed to be professionals when they're not professional at all the rude and crude and I give them a negative of a billion stars worst courthouse ever

The clerks there were super helpful. Haven’t been before the judge for my divorce yet so can’t speak on them. But the staff was polite and helpful with everything I needed help with.

Never had a problem until an unusual request from the marriage license department. The young lady even snatched the money from my hand. It's okay to ask when you don't know something but to become frustrated with the customer is unprofessional. If I'd acted in such a manner she would not have wanted to serve me. But I had no choice.
