An attractive, fairly small courthouse. Stopped in to see about a parking ticket. My fault, but…read moreconfusing meter placement, so I wanted to try not to have to pay it. Turns out, this is the place you pay tickets; you need to talk to the police department if you are disputing it. The staff here were great. Security tried to answer my ticket questions, and directed me to a counter. The lady there gave Baby K a sucker, and explained what I needed to do, giving me the phone number for the police and tips on navigating the phone system, who to talk to, etc. All in all a pleasant experience here, plus I did end up fixing the ticket with their help. Parking around back and on streets nearby, but be careful and read the signage- you don't want to get a ticket while dealing with another one...

I recently called the probate office at Ironton courthouse, and I told the lady The question I had…read moreand she said one moment please, she then connected me to another person in the probate office and I ask her the question and she did not know therefore she had asked someone else, they were not friendly whatsoever in fact When we were hanging up I heard the girl tell someone else what I had said, in other words they were making fun of me because of what I said. And I heard them, I don't think this was very appropriate of people working and our government offices. And specially being made fun of. And if this girl actually worked in this office then she should have no one the answer without lying the phone down and going and asking someone else. If you're going to make fun of people you should at least make sure you hang up the phone first. I am very upset what's this. If anyone out there knows who I could contact personally of this happening please let me know.
