Reviews of the Hocking Municipal Court
I have been calling every hour on the hour for 4 days now and have yet to get anyone on the phone. The system automatically hangs up on you after 60 seconds. Unfortunately, the courthouse itself is closed as well, so getting in touch with anyone is impossible. Would love an alternate way to get in touch, as I just have a simple, but very time-sensitive question. Edited to add: I got ahold of them at 10am the morning after I posted this review, and they resolved my issue immediately and professionally, so I’ve added a couple stars!
First visit (arraingment), people were friendly and reasonable including the judge who seemed fair and even explained things. Second visit (pre trial) i encountered the large and " in charge" aspiring assistant prosecutor Miss Meadows who didn't have time for my 11am arraignment that I drove 4 hours to attend. She pretended to listen to my counter points and then wrapped everything up with no deals by mocking me stating..." and Im the one who studied law!" So funny! I bet she also wants to be a comedian. Another thing i found preplexing ....asking for the whereabouts of a form to these people is considered legal advise. The assistant prosecutor in particular is the perfect example of the kind of person who should not have the power to medal in other people's lives. She does not care about anything but progressing her career and "winning" . If you are meeting with the peach, Miss Meadows, you're only chance of justice is to pass a couple twinkies under the table. She might be willing to see you side of things then.
I call almost everyday and no one picks up, I’ve tried to fax in documents and no one picks that up either, I’ve been trying to dispute my case for a week now because my schedule is tight and no one can pick up the phone or the fax for me to reschedule my court date. What kinda court is this??!!
This place is a joke. Dont care if people actually get clean. Only care about the money. My boyfriend is in the vivatral program and he has a very bad probation officer that gives him wrong information about when his appointments are. The judge sucks. Has let people that have failed for meth go on a warning, but locked my boyfriend up for failing for alcohol. Which he is 22 years old. I know this because I have been in court with him and watched these things go down. The receptionists are VERY rude. You guys deserve no stars.
