The absolute worst. I drove my family to Florida from Michigan. We stayed in Macon, GA after driving 16 hours and my kids are 1 and 3. We all didn't get more than 2 hours of sleep. It was a nightmare of a night. I was caught speeding early that next morning, and I was truthful about not looking down at my speed for awhile and didn't realize how fast I was going. My ticket was $530!!!! But that's not where I have a problem. The officer says you need to go to this website on the ticket (he circles it) and ask for a reduction of the fine since it will be a big one. I go to the site to ask for a reduction, and write a nice letter about how we like driving through Georgia on our way to Florida. I get an e-mail back 2 weeks later saying I now owe AN EXTRA $200 now a COMBINED $730. The woman at Cook County tells me they don't reduce fines so it was a miscommunication between me and the officer. No, it was a point blank understanding. This officer was straightforward about it and even circled it and said "a reduction for the fine". Now, because I listened to his advice I pay an extra $200 in "Court Costs". How ridiculous is this? On top of that, he wrote me for a 94 in a 70, and in section 2 of the ticket he classifies it for 26-35 mph over which is wrong - - - it's 24mph over (94-70). The woman on the phone tells me the classification doesn't determine the fine (okay? the ticket is still flawed). Either way, asking for a reduction will ONLY make costs go up. This is the lesson here, and also don't listen to any Cook County cops. Don't ask for a reduction, and don't listen to the cops there. Yes, I was in the wrong for speeding, but like my fellow friends that are cops here in Michigan, it happens! I admitted I was wrong for speeding, but was shown no leniency despite my record. Things are screwed up in Georgia with the outrageous costs by their government. We will be indeed flying next time, you won't get any of my tourist money this time. - From a hard working family in Michigan.
I got a marriage license and married here. It was easy and the people were friendly. I couldn't have asked for it to be any smoother! Excellent job!
I got a speeding ticket and I cant afford it cause of my internship. I work as a volunteer for a government environmental program and we dont get paid a lot. I have been trying to contact the solicitor, and judge for more than three months and no one will help me. They keep telling me to pay the money but I dont have it. I moved out of the state and I live in my car cause the program doesnt offer housing. I have been told to come to court but I cant leave my internship because, it's a 14 days at a time working in the national forest. I have been begging for help and they just suspended my license. This people dont care about anyone and they just want there money. The court clerk's are really rude and not helpful. I can't afford a $280 speeding ticket which is still outrageous to pay also.
When dealing with the outdated probate process, half the battle is figuring out which forms you need. You can waste dozens of hours calling courthouses, double-checking form numbers, and accidentally missing deadlines you didn’t know about.
Or you can use Atticus, where we do all the work behind the scenes to give you the exact forms and steps you need to do according to your unique county or jurisdiction. You won’t find a cheaper and faster way to get through probate.
