Reviews of the Waukesha County Courthouse
I actually give Waukesha county -5 stars. The police department is shady.Their courts are biased. And the child support division is truly worthless.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but even if you somehow think Covid is a hoax, as a security guard at a government building you should most definitely be wearing your mask. Both guards that touch your things at the metal detector at the front of the building were definitely not practicing public safety this morning.
This building is not familiar with Active Duty Military rules and lifestyles. We do not have the same schedule as them and we are all across the world on different time zones. The woman was very kind and apologized that they could not give me more time to send in my wedding application. However, they don’t understand that my husband is across the country for the next 3 weeks unable to help me with the paperwork. I work night shift at the ER and I don’t get to see my phone much while on shift. Also, when they call me, it is in the middle of the day when I am sleeping for work. Just saying, if you are active duty military, they are not very accommodating.
Goes without saying don't break the law, but if you have to or find yourself in sting cause the cops have nothing better to do then set people up, you better make a run for another county. This county is unfair, unjust, and biased. You can't get straight answers and it takes them forever to do anything. And forget about communication, they don't appear to know what that is.
Very unimpressed, the staff are like children laughing and goofing around. Cops seem super lazy sitting in chairs and stools not doing anything. The woman that help me was nice but completely oblivious to any legal question I had. Across the room in collection's two staff members were negotiating over the prise of a bottle of wine one wanted to sell to the other one. So the one selling the bottle could have walking around cash for a country concert the she was going to later this week. Honestly I was disgusted in how my taxes dollars are spend.
