Tried to call to find out when my husband’s court time is, and it rang twice and a recording came on the phone and said, sorry the person you’re trying to call is on the other line, goodbye. Then it just hangs up. There’s no hold for numerous callers who call around the same time? Why not?

Thank you Wood County Circuit Court. So helpful. Helped navigate our way through the judicial system as someone representing themselves. Thank you so very much Judge J.D. Beane! Outstanding! Complete gratitude.
