I visit that place once a month with my big brother his name is James Lowe he's on probation for 5 years so that's where we go see his probation officer at I have to take him over there and make sure he goes even if he is older than me he's 56 years old and I'm only 50 so I'm looking out for my big brother and trying to keep him out of trouble

although covid 19 is causing q lot of issues that interfere with court cases being heard..Its becoming very confusing and little to no reasonable information was available about cases I need to attend as a witness for the state... Month after month. Yet they STILL can't tell me when I need to be made available. Or if these cases are to be heard.. They need to give ample time in order to allow everyone time to be available for these cases. It's not a big office, so I'm rather sure the case load reflects the amount of cases they hear for the county. As for the building itself, it is very LOVELY. And the ppl that work there are nice too. Overall its a fairly good courthouse as far as they are concerned. I personally just wished I could get a straight answer.
