Reviews of the Rowan County Courthouse
I have had the worst experience dealing with the Rowan County Courthouse. I got a speeding ticket before covid and I received a notice that they changed my court date to a different date. The date they gave me changed again however the court house never sent me a second letter of my new court date and when I tried calling the clerk of court I was rudely told that I would have to appear in person in which I live over an hour away! The system was supposed to generate me another court date and mail it to me but they never did...Now I have a FTA and a fine and I will have to get an attorney! This is another case of someone trying to get over on people due to Covid 19
Most entitled government group of workers I have seen to date. With the small area they serve you would expect a little help, but I guess you can chalk it up as their superiors thinking they are untouchable.
I think the clerks are nice, never had an issue and they have always been helpful to me. As for the bailiffs, some are very rude. The district attorney is definitely disrespectful and I have nothing bad to say about the judges because I haven’t had a unfair or bad outcome. The sheriffs at the door are being selective about who comes in during covid. Singling our blacks who come in together but letting a white man his wife and a under age child in! Smh
Unknowledgeable, Unprofessionally and unwillingly to help/ answer simple questions listed on their own website. My experience was a very hateful and rude one by employee(Kathy S.) at the clerk or court office. The “I don't want to be here“ “I’m too old for this” “I don’t know it’s not my job”, sorry attitude by much of the staff there is horrendously disappointing and blankly written on their face and tone of voice. Even the Security guards speak down to you and raise their voice when asking for directions since main entrance is closed. Completely unprofessional hateful nasty staff. Please consider when rehiring for those positions with our Tax Dollars that the applicants are eager to work, enjoy helping others with professionalism and are knowledgeable of their positions.
Rowan county has a very shady court system they will lock you up/drag you through the mud if you cannot defend yourself lawfully even if they know they’re WRONG it’s a lot of fraudulent activities altogether from the sheriff department in Rowan county to the judge that’s appointed to your case. PLEASE do NOT get a court appointed lawyer you will go DOWN.
