Look, no one enjoys the legal process, that's for certain. Okay, maybe not absolutely certain, but…read moreI certainly do not enjoy Court things... However, it helps with the process when the staff are kind and willing to assist in the manner they are able. Most clerks/customer service employees here cannot answer certain questions or provide advise that may teeter into "legal advice territory" which is completely understandable when they're not practicing attorneys and are to remain neutral in the cases. However, they can answer some questions and especially if one is careful in how the question is framed. I have been to this court a few times, it feels lighter than the ones down town (for obvious (to me) reasons), I don't mind coming up here when I have to and when I do, I leave feeling a little more at ease than when I first arrived. Today, the same was true. Be patient, be kind, and remember these are our public service workers and they do their very best, I believe.

This is a review of the Maricopa County recorders office kiosk inside this building. We visited the…read morekiosk inside. It's stuck over in a corner and it took us a while to find it. But it made changing the ownership of our property extremely simple. We chatted via a screen with a helpful person who led us through the steps from scanning our changed documents to paying for the changes. It took no more than 10 minutes and we were done. We highly recommend using this option rather than driving downtown.

Not completely sure the purpose since you can't use your arm to open it but I guess if it was a hot day, it would be helpful. Upon entering you not only have to walk through the metal detector, & have your personal effects go through the imaging machine but before you walk through the metal detector, you scan your wrist for temperature check. I think this is great & super helpful. The building is beautiful. You should definitely check it out when you get a chance.

I'm talking a speeding ticket here, where I nodded, complied, and thanked an officer berating me in front of my kids. To then call and have the receptionist let me know she was blatantly annoyed because I "already wanted to pay for the ticket when it just posted today?" I just think you get the respect you give. I back the justice system wholeheartedly, but after this it makes more sense why we have this culture moving in that wants to defund police. Kind citizens speed sometimes to ya know? lol

Another year of jury duty at the Superior Court in wonderful PHX Arizona and honestly I was shocked…read moreby how nice we juror's had it compared to serving in Downtown Los Angeles where the room is cold concrete and dark with nothing to see or do but stare at the wall. The accommodations were really nice without going into too much detail. But if you get summoned bring a tablet or laptop there's food near by so even after being there all day I was honestly content being there.

Reporting for Jury Duty, yup! Got uber to drive me here because I'm pretty sure the parking in…read morePhoenix is hectic, even my Uber driver had to circle twice just to know where to drop me off. I'm not familiar with the area but in getting in after the security check/metal detectors, you simply go left where all the other people are sitting (like they were waiting for their flights to depart) because it looks exactly like an airport. Once you enter the room, you'll have to sign in on their portable computer thingy, ah kiosk is what I was looking for, with your Jury ID # and last name. There will be people/workers to help you in the process. The rest is just the waiting game. I was here 15 mins before 9am and then didn't announce anything till 30mins after. You will be shown a video of what to expect and where everything is (cafe, restroom) which I totally forgot where those two are. And then one of them will call you by a number 1-60 and by your last name and first initial of first name, then you will head to the back of the room where an assistant will hand you a paper with your number and QR code which you'll scan to fill out the questionaire. If you don't have a tablet they will provide you one. If you don't remember the number, like I totally did, then say your last name because it should match with it. Then you wait some more. Was told that by 1:30pm that they will decide whether some of us go to the courtroom while the other goes home, based on what you said on the questionaire. There are no wrong or right answers but def they were some questions repeated a couple times just worded differently The people here are super nice and helpful and if you're like me with anxiety of going to unfamiliar places, don't be afraid to ask :) Why 4 stars? Because I don't want to be here. Lol but the place is clean and spacious. Uber was $64 plus tip all the way from QC to Downtown Phx. And in going back- Uber was $70. Love it. Sarcastically speaking. Hope yours will be a good case if you were one of the chosen 10 I got to go home.. waited 5 hours for my name to not be called

Look, no one wants to be here but that isn't the reason for the rating... I will say, I have been…read morefortunate to interact with some stellar employees who have assisted in making the experience more tolerable. I will not offer that praise to the very bitter lady at the check-in point. My take away? She either REALLY loves her job, or she REALLY loathes it, but the overall feel she gives is one of control and power. By the time I am through, figuring out the difference between up the escalator and over the bridge or up the elevator is a challenge, every time. When it's up the escalator its frustrating because the line to check in can be long, even if there happen to be two people assisting the process. Get there 15 minutes early, there is no guarantee you'll be in the courtoom on time. This last time, I was confused (as usual) as to where we were supposed to go, jumping ahead to ask a simple question to the check-in persons (up the escalator) seemed like it may ruffle some feathers. So, instead, I saw a man with a badge and a large item he was pushing and was able to ask where the location was and he was incredibly helpful informing me I had to go back over the bridge and take the elevator. I personally feel the process is designed to suck, so that no one ever wants to go through it again. Unfortunately, every now and again folks have valuable and important lessons to learn in their journey and must experience this grueling process. I will admit, in my lifetime, I have also utilized the services of the law library here and it was incredible at the time I needed it. They have everything you'd need for research purposes, although keep in mind they aren't allowed to offer any semblance of legal advice and therefore questions must be asked carefully. They also have a place to submit court forms on computers since they seem to have changed their processes 5o be more electronic... anyway, I could give another star, now that I think about it.... but, no one ever wants to be at court... so I will keep with my 2 star rating for that reason... parking sucks too, unless you get lucky to find a meter and are out within the time on it.
