Not a fan of Judge Foley but believe he is in Superior Court now.I have been on medical leave. The clerks are super nice. Remember, don't get mad at them if they refuse to help you fill out forms. They can't do anything that could be construed as legal advice.
Downside: Try not to go solo. Every one knows everyone in the legal community. The judges (esp Foley) "appears to" frown on pro se litigants except in small claims court.
Suggestion: Stand when addressing court (required) and address the judge as "Your honor". If you don't understand something, say so before agreeing. If you lose a case and they impose a payment schedule and you can't pay them, tell them why then and there. It is usually based on your paperwork that you fill out to see what you can afford to pay.
Criminal cases: If there is jail time involved, you will be given a court appointed lawyer if you cannot afford one. Otherwise, good luck. Check into your right to have small claims proceedings recorded if it involves substantial funds. read more
