Cool looking building.

If you're looking to get your marriage license or certified copies of your marriage license make sure you have all your copies because they will not help you at all. Also make sure you have the number of the person that married you, so when they tell you they don't have it after lazily looking through them you can call them and verify they dropped it off. Not impressed at all.

The staff is rude and disrespectful. Even though I was there as a witness for a trial, they treated me like I wasn't welcome. No refreshments. Then when I got up to look for refreshments the security guard deputy confronted me. That's the only reason we knew it was ok to leave because they forgot to dismiss us when they dismissed the jury. Won't be a return customer.

This is the most corrupt court in Ohio. My mom passed away and when we went into court for my moms estate Benson gave my sister who admittedly stated under oath that she was a herion addict and had a criminal history and filed the wrong surety bond the right to adminster my moms estate. This court is very biased and a complaint has been filed with the Ohio Supreme Court against Mr Benson. Stay far far away.

This was the first statehouse in Ohio and erected in 1801. Not sure about the contents, but the architecture is stunning. However the columns need some repairs at the main entrance. I found the doors individually named for what you needed interesting. It must have been easy to get to the right official back in the day.
