The single most difficult and uncooperative county government I've ever worked with! The Estates…read moreDivision will not answer your legitimate questions BEFORE you file an estate and is constantly looking for the smallest incidental reason to reject a filing once you present it. They require very specific language in a filing that is not required by other North Carolina Clerks. So you will make a filing, it will be rejected for knit-picking reasons by one employee, you will address all of THAT person's concerns, then it will be rejected by another employee for different knit-picking reasons. Mind you, I've been filing estates for 20 years so I know how to open an estate. According to someone who works on a daily basis with the Cumberland Clerk's office, NOTHING ever goes right with this place. Mostly due to their eccentric lack of helpfulness and their obscure make-it-up-as-you-go "requirements." They also have the weirdest phone system: ALL calls are directed to the phone of a single woman who rarely answers her phone and "forgets" to relay your messages to the staff. If she transfers you to the phone of one of the deputy clerks, they NEVER return your calls. So you have to call several times to break through the wall. IF at all. I guess there is not enough going on in Fayetteville so they entertain themselves by rejecting filings and tripling your time the expenses incurred in filing a document. Hostile and passive aggressive. They forget they are affecting the very real lives of the grieving and making the experience worse.

Johnston County's Courthouse was completed in 1921 and is a three-story frame building in the…read moreClassical Revival style. It has a four column portico and a stone balustrade at the roofline. There is recessed entrance a large vertical windows on the second and third stories. The roof line is flat. In the interior, the main courtroom is located on the third story and has a balcony on the rear side. Johnston County was formed in 1746 and Clayton was selected as the county seat with the county's first courthouse. The seat was moved to Smithfield in 1771 and the new courthouse was built here. A third courthouse was built in 1786 and then a fourth in 1843. This one is the fifth and is considered "the old courthouse" as the current one was built in the 1980s. There is a Civil War marker on the front steps - General William T Sherman used the 1771 courthouse as his headquarters on his march toward Raleigh. On April 12th 1865 Sherman received a telegram from General Ulysses S Grant informing him of General Robert E Lee's surrender at Appomattox while in Smithfield. There is also a WWI memorial with a "doughboy" holding his rifle "In memory of the illustrious dead of Johnston County who died in the Great World War 1917-1919" with a list of names.

Brunswick County is named for the colonial port of Brunswick (since abandoned and in ruins) but the…read moreport was named for the Duchy of Brunswick-Luneburg. The county was formed in 1764 though the county seat was not moved to Bolivia until 1978 with this courthouse completed in 2001 along with the other buildings in this county government complex. the courthouse is a three-story structure built of structural steel, concrete, and stone. The building presents a formal, symmetrical façade with a prominent northeast-facing portico supported by four large columns. These rise to a wide entablature that frames the recessed third story, I would describe it as neither Modernist nor Classical Revival, as the building has a sense of classical gravitas while maintaining a contemporary footprint. The interior has a grand staircase rising to the second story and five courtrooms. The building houses the County Superior Court and County District Court of the 13th Judicial District. The government complex is massive and so there is plenty of parking that is a short walk to the building. It is not open on the weekends and even if it was, cameras are not permitted inside. Still, you can walk the grounds to admire this impressive structure. [Review 1364 of 2025 - 4483 in North Carolina - 24916 overall]

So let me first start with apologizing for not having any photos to go with this, but it is frowned…read moreupon to have a camera on in the courtroom :) however, with that out of the way I want to take a moment to give my pros and cons on this location. I have had to visit the courthouse more often than expected in the last few months, but I have had a relatively good experience each time. The staff is very friendly, but I do think they could improve s few things. The courthouse has very minimal signage to help navigate which if you're like me, I don't make it a regular visit to go the court so I was turned around many times. At first, I was given 3 different floors to find my room, but finally found it on my own in the basement. The rooms didn't have a list of people assigned which made it more difficult and the parking is a few blocks away, but again not marked well. I don't mind walking except when it's cold and pouring rain outside. Unfortunately that was both times I had to come. I do praise how clean they keep the inside and outside and the bathrooms as well! I also love that the bathrooms are individual vs having many stalls. Overall, I am happy with my experience but the few things that could be worked on would be better parking, staff more knowledgable of layout and signage to help find your way inside.

You ask for a copy of the alleged ticket, all notices regarding a court appearance being required for a ticket issued to an out of state driver and they refuse to supply anything. Fast forward to 2008, the same out of state driver's license that allegedly received the ticket and driving privileges in Nort Carolina being suspended in North Carolina came back with no problems when supplied for a traffic stop. Instead of dealing with the incompetence you get a total due and call to confirm they received the check, they confirm they received the check but it's for more then is due. They provide a receipt in the mail showing every amount apparently the word refund on the receipt means addition to those morons. The total was 421.00 plus 20.00 for installment plan(which there wasn't) so 441.00 total then refund of 20.00 for the installment plan total 461.00. Received the refund today 20.00 not 40.00. They give anyone your information, I called once and couldn't deal with the stupidity of the person I talked to. My girlfriend called and got all the information including the date of the ticket, the driver's license and number they issued the ticket to, not once did they ask to speak with me to get my permission to release any information like I said morons.
