Is my opinion this is a den of thieves. My father passed away had a will. My didn't bother to tell me my father passed away for 5 years. The attorney handling the case was disbarred for stealing from an elderly couple. Attorney James burien. I was promised things from my father that I never got. My dad's land was sold for next to nothing against my will. His assets were sold. My niece works for the Clackamas county dispatcher. Took over the case before I even knew what happened and everything was sold and squandered. I was entitled to a third of the estate. I doubt if I got a fraction of that. When I went in to put my name down on the estate and give them my contact information I was yelled and screamed at by the clerk. Told I was not part of the case I informed her it was my father's estate and that I was part of the case she argued with me and put on the paperwork that she informed me that I was not part of the case. Talk about the blue wall of silence. When I went into a hearing I got yelled and screamed at by a cop calling Audi name I did not recognize ran up to me. made me produce ID to prove I was not the person. And then yelled at me and said that you come when I call you. I believe Clackamas county is a nut House. and that half the people in the system need to be put in the jails that they're running. Attorneys on the take. And I believe judges on the take. It is no longer for the people by the people. It's all about stealing your money at least that's my opinion. read more

If I could give this courthouse 0/5 stars, I would. Every single employee is not only rude and inappropriate, but unhelpful and lacking the intelligence required to work in such an important government position. They give misinformation to people who are trying to post civil claims and, in addition to this, will blame (and fine) the poster for their own (the courthouse's) mistakes. In the time I have had to deal with the Clackamas County Courthouse I have been met with: * Bigotry, transphobia and a reluctance to help in an otherwise simple process. (Which other courthouses have, surprisingly, no problem with!) * A lack of professional presence. They are unable to keep a cool, level and professional head when working with ANYONE for ANY reason and start ALL interactions off aggressively. I have been talked down to, yelled at and hung up on for asking nothing more than a simple question. * A complete disregard to organization or accountability. If someone tells you something (ANYTHING) at the Clackamas County Courthouse I have learned to NOT believe it. Not a single person in that building has any idea of what they're talking about. An example: They will tell you that they will call you in a week (which, to the woman who answered the phone: we HAVE been called MULTIPLE times, so maybe do some research into your own job) only to NOT call you in two months (which leaves us, the poster, to assume weather might be a factor). When you finally call them to ask about your case they will yell at you and berate you for even daring to reiterate what THEY told you for the sake of being right. They will also tell you how to fill out forms only to tell you after two months of going back and forth that you (they) were wrong and you have to completely restart the process. * If you attempt to call and express a complaint you will be berated until you hang up. They also do not accept complaints until they have a name and face to go with said complaint, so as to ensure an even worse experience for the person on the other end. In addition to ALL THAT, they will also threaten and coerce you into coming back while simultaneously disclosing other people's private cases and information as if it has any prevalence to your experience (but it does prove that they do not care about the privacy of their other cases). I would go on (because OH BOY could I) but it would be getting redundant at that point. This courthouse is the worst in this area with uneducated (or under trained) senior staff members who will make sure to pitfall you and pickpocket you throughout your whole interaction with them. By far one of the worst experiences of my life; I absolutely dread having to work with these con-artists. Please, I implore you, if you can manage it: stay as far away from this courthouse as possible (unless you are a masochistic rich person with too much time on your hands). P.S. (After this, I promise I'm finished) Clackamas County Courthouse does not check their reviews, just so you know - not even their supervisors, as expressed on the phone today by their supervisor. They believe they are without fault in everything and prove it by keeping their head buried in the sand, because bad reviews don't exist if you don't read them! read more

Worst ever, if you have to file for a garnisment, there is no help. The court gives you a piece of paper, you have to get garnishment paperwork from Stevens Ness $15, there are no instructions for the person who is doing the garnishment. Had one attorney try and help us. You take to the courthouse,they tell you get 5 or 6 copies of everything , go to UPS store, go back to courthouse, leave papers, they will call you when signed by court administrator. A week later get a call, we need to fill out interst sheet, you couldn't have looked the 1st trip. Again, no instructions. Spend 2 days trying to find attorney to fill out paperwork. This person destroyed property where she was staying and we have to provide her with all the response papers, ready to go, while we flounder with no help. And clerks bordering on rude side. read more

Very respecful agents at the entrance. Prepare for airport like check. Tons of marriages at 1pm so beware.

Some of the service I've received here is amazing to me and not in a good way. I can't believe they treat people this way -- I've requested multiple times that if they don't know how or cannot do a service for me, to just send me somewhere that can. But after many assurances (and writing over my legal documents and then whiting them out again...) that they CAN provide the services I need. To lay it out: I have received my name change there and am currently at the tail end of my gender change. They give me the most raw attitude -- not for my NAME change, mind you, but over the gender change. The two males that I have dealt with at the front (primarily for my name change) have been wonderful...And that's the only wonderful part about that place. Honestly boys, find a better job. You're their shining stars. I pride myself on being a good customer because I think it reflects on my character, and I've never felt so disrespected that I've had to not only call them to complain (which is prompting THIS review) but to be kept on the phone to argue for over twenty minutes. Most of which was spent correcting me on small things and not addressing the overall issue. My main complaint was that I be treated with respect -- the same respect they should provide to everyone. I get in return that I'm demanding that I'm somehow entitled to "more respect" than others ... No, I am asking to be treated with the SAME respect of the people going through the very same motions. I've never had an experience like this before that it's honestly bewildering. To speak to me like I'm a criminal and to treat me like I've done something wrong when I'm in a CIVIL claims case. I don't know if the staff is just so under-trained that they can't handle doing the type of jobs they're provided (I'm constantly shifted around anyways for basic questions). They also filled out my paperwork WITH ME and told me how to do certain things (which are incorrect) but now will not take responsibility because "they cannot provide legal advice". Then stop providing it to the people that are asking you for help. They even have a sign next to it that states what they can and cannot do (yes, I HAVE seen it), but they don't follow their own rules. I've been to a courthouse twice now and these were my first and only experiences with anything of this nature...To receive treatment like this -- not just to me but also my wife -- is abhorrent. I finally told them halfway through my case that I would just go to a different source...Other courthouses can do the things I need, but I was actually contacted by a member of their staff. THEY pursued ME to continue even though I was willing to accept that I just lost over 120 dollars to this place. I was willing to take that hit but THEY told me that they would print me "brand new forms" that they "have now" that they did not have before. To the supervisor I spoke with on the phone (I believe her name was "Robin") -- yes. I know you've done multiple gender change forms, Miss Robin, because (as I said before your comment on the phone) that I have SEEN the multiple changes for names and genders MYSELF ... So maybe you should have the paperwork by now. OH??? You DO have it ... Because Candace printed it out FOR ME. So NO, I am NOT the one thinking that I am "special" or somehow entitled...I am entitled as a citizen of this country, a taxpaying, hardworking AMERICAN that YOU should provide me the service that I provide to MY customers. And by the way? A lot of MY customers have serious ailments like cancer and they can seem to put a smile on their faces daily. read more
