this is a small town court making small town decisions. the decisions they made negatively impacted two dying seniors. the matter had to be moved into federal court where the problems they created were reversed and the family finally got the relief that could have been simply accomplished in Towns County.

We came here to get our marriage license in October 2024. Making an appointment was very easy. Everyone we encountered was friendly and welcoming. Our appointment was taken on-time, and the application process was quick and easy.
