Who to speak with when visiting the Lee County probate court
Plan ahead to be early in case available parking is limited and be prepared for formal security measures upon entering the building, as courthouses are official state and federal property. This generally includes passing through metal detectors and allowing search of any belongings.

Reviews of the Circuit Court Administration
i'd give 0 stars if possible. Judge Mary Evans of the 20th Circuit Court in Florida is a Tyrant. Refuses to see evidence and has little time for anyone who isn't part of her social or economic class.
Unfortunately, I have had to deal with this court a lot the past few years due to a divorce. The Judges don't care. If you have an attorney they will sign anything; if you are pro se, you are screwed. The Judges don't care if what they are signing is true or not, they will sign whatever the other parties attorney hands them to sign. No ethics. No morals. No just or fair proceedings. They don't care. They are jaded and need replaced. Oh wait, I can't forget to mention that money talks in this county; it is also a "who you know and who you blow" type of county. The "good ole boy" mentality if you will, and I'm being told this by several professionals in various lines of work that work with the courts a lot. If anyone would like to place a complaint on a Judge they can write the Chief Judge Michael T. McHugh and Director of Court Administration Scott Wilsker like I was advised, but they probably won't reply or if they do they will just chastise you for complaining and tell you they can't help, and they'll do this without even reading your complaint. Complaints can also be made with the Florida Judicial Qualifications Commission (they will respond) and The Florida Bar. One could even reach out to their local representatives, such as the Senator's office. The Governors office will also provide you with additional resources you can contact. I will include that although I have come across very impatient and incompetent staff at the Clerk of Court; I have also experienced the assistance of helpful and knowledgeable staff. Keep speaking up everyone, especially with elections right around the corner!
....[ continued from FMPD review]- While the search for a new police chief has appeared to end, The decision came down to one man made by the city manger and mayor. Some parts of the process are extremely suspicious. When a person is shot and is dyeing, they do not think to themselves, " Help! I've been shot.Quick someone call a representative from the Freeh Group." No. They usually think to themselves, Help! I've been shot. Someone call the police." The DOJ are the police of the land. What The City did was reject the DOJ by hiring a private consulting firm. Sabotaging The Department of Justice helping hand and spent money they don't have. It seems as if Mayor Henderson dose not want any help from the government, quoted, " We don't need any help from the government. We have the good old boys system". Well, the " Good old boy system" just got two kids killed and seventeen others shot. So much for " The Good Old Boys System" . What the city did was slap to the face of the black community, People of Wealth are Elderly and are Children in,denying them of being represented by their President Obama and The Department of Justice. The Black Community loves their President and so do the Wealthy. The city is has taken that opportunity away from them and their law enforcement agents until now. The Department of Justice is deeply involved with police reform and civil rights enforcement. I represent the minorities of Ft. Myers and I can say, They want the help from the DOJ. They want to have the privilege of knowing that their President is involved and loves and supports them. I also represent the millionaires and billionaires of S.W. Florida and we want the help of The DOJ. FMPD and it's officers and citizens deserve the best are country has to offer. The City has stolen these people's confidence and hope for a better city by being so pompous trying to keep their elected offices and the dirt-bags that placed them there.. Obama is the Black Community's President, and this is The Department of Justice Black's Authority for Civil Rights, and they are trying to pushed them away. Shame on you City of Ft. Myers. With all the talent coming out of FGCU , and all the other Universities in the area in criminal justice the last thing students want and law enforcement wants is to begin their careers in a corrupt court and police system. The FMPD is your One- Stop- Bribe -Shop for Steven Russel and scumbag attorneys and judges. It would be a great experience to work side by side with the DOJ to teach law enforcement all the new training going on by the DOJ. To bring the FMPD up to date with justice reform. I hope that the Department of Justice will help bring reform to all are future and present law-enforcement. In my duty as an investigator for my foundation, I have had the opportunity to meet and work with over a hundred, F.B.I. agents, Secret Service, CIA, IRS/CID, TBI, ATF, DEA, City Police, Sheriff Departments, Park Rangers, U.S. Marshal Service, U.S. Attorneys and State Attorneys out of the State of Florida and they all say the same thing. Fort Myers is one screwed up city.
