Reviews of the Grand Forks County District Court
Having called them for the first time I was very pleased with the service I was provided. Friendly staff. Very professional and answered all of my questions.
The workers are rude and refuse to help in anyway. When you finally get them to do anything they always have to run off and ask someone else how something is done. When paying anything from a fine to court they do not assist in anyway and try to get you out or off of the phone.
The court clerks are absolutely rude. I am not even from the state of North Dakota and my soon to be ex wifes attorney filed for divorce in Grand Forks County when there is already an open case in a different county in a different state that was already filed and in motion a month prior. My ex was already served. The case is invalid as per court papers state that if there is already a pending case somewhere else then you cannot file for divorce in another place. I called to see if they have a form to fill out for dismissing the case because the case is invalid. Then she got rude and snotty and said I cannot give you legal advice as she is not an attorney. I was not asking for legal advice. I was asking for a form which is their job as a clerk to provide. Court administration is about forms and paperwork. I was not asking how to fill it out, I was not asking the next step, etc... I was simply asking if there was an order for dismissal form cause their websites are horrible for Self Help and finding/obtaining documents. In the state of Minnesota at least they provide you all instructions, all the documents you need, etc...in the self help center. When people fight cases pro se, then we the people need clear access to the appropriate documents we need to file. When the system does not provide access to those documents, then they are impeding on our civil liberties by not giving us the clear access to represent ourselves or giving us the tools we need to get the job done. Very disgusted. This is how the government treats people.
