Reviews of the Midland County Courthouse
I first came across the Midland County Courthouse when I was in Midland, Michigan for a business conference. I noticed it when I was driving at night out of town looking for a supermarket. The building kind of ‘jumps out’ at you because it is well lit. That’s not the only attraction about the place. It is uniquely designed. The shape of the building is attractive, strong and reassuring. Not like a faceless, bureaucratic building at all. I must say, however, that an addition was put on the building, thankfully in the back, and it is a dull, glass and brick affair. In the manner of such buildings that side tries to appear antiseptic and professional but comes off as intrusive to the eye. The main building that I am describing is much more a part of the community. The cornerstone was laid by Professor Dow of Dow Chemical. Much of the paint materials and other items on the outside of the building are or were derived from various Dow products. Almost the entire courthouse, except for the addition, was made from local materials. What an accomplishment! The building is decorated with historic paintings including images of representatives of local Native American tribes and pioneers. It is a very touching set of scenes. Along with the building comes a descriptive historical marker (read both sides!) and a wonderful tribute to members of the armed forces of the United States.
The clerks in this Courthouse need customer service training. When you call to make a payment there tones are awful. Don't dare ask any other questions or you WILL be hung up on AFTER they chuckle and snicker at you. Multiple times this has happened. “There’s a difference between voice and tone. Look at it this way: You have the same voice all the time, but your tone changes. You might speak in one tone to your closest friends and family, and a different tone with your boss.” When you call there tone makes you feel like you are a bother or they are annoyed with you already for nothing! For being in midland county you would think the customer service would be great but it's not. I rather talk to bay or saginaw county. So bottom line. Basic calling in to make a payment, rude tones from clerks, they don't tell you you're getting charged a fee for processing a card and they hang up on you . ext. 6735!
Employees are always rude and short. They never seem to know what's going on. Judges are the same. Even when I was subpeonaed as a witness (I wasn't on trial, I had only witnessed something of importance in a case) the staff and state attorney were absolutely rude and downright mean-spirited towards me and the other witnesses and I've been threaten several times by state attorneys and staff. Midland needs and overhaul of the entire place .
It a big joke. ...The judges dont care about kids. They protect deadbeat dad. In Michigan, struggling single mother has no rights.
