The Battle sites is what I first went to view and yeah it hits you hard at all of the losses we had. Then I went to the Appomattox Court House and toured the grounds. Amazing place to take your kids there and to hear all of the History that we don't want to lose. To me, it was an Honor to walk where Victory for our Soldiers and our Country. I would for sure drive another 15 hours from Louisiana to go and Tour the grounds again.

Anyway, when I arrived, I went into the visitor's center like one always should when visiting a National Park. One of the Park Rangers started telling me about the property. "Currently you are standing in the Appomattox Court House......absolutely nothing happened in here! The surrender was just a football field's length away at the McLean House." What!? Why is it named after the courthouse then? Anyway, all jokes aside the place is great. As stated, the visitor's center is located inside the old courthouse and has the standard gift shop, museum, and movie theatre. Outside there are several buildings that include a bookstore, a Tavern, The Mclean House and several others. The Mclean House was actually torn down at one point and then rebuilt. The house is set up to look like it did then when Lee surrendered to Grant. While the Mclean house is the main attraction to the park, there are plenty of battlefields, markers and hiking trails around to explore. So why only 4 stars, well name it the Mclean House National Historic Park and I will give it another star.

The place is pretty easy to find and parkinng was definitely not the worst. The Good: This is the first time in my life when I went to a courthouse and it was a fairly enjoyable experience. Its spacious on the inside, well kept, secure, and modern. The most unexpected thing there was that everyone was really friendly and helpful. Not one person there from the security to the parking garage attendant seemed disgruntled. I went there to have my fingerprints taken and I had made an appointment online. Not only was the lady at the window and the lady who did my prints very friendly, but I was actually seen on time! Unbelievable. Friendly staff AND timely service at a government facility? That's new to me. If you have a choice of courthouses in the area, I would recommend this one. Plus some nice local shops are close by if yo u have to wait for someone or something, you can grab a nice coffee or whatever. The Bad: You have yo pay for parking. $2 for the first hour and $1 for every additional hour up to $10 max.

Suzanne represented me in a traffic matter in Mecklenburg District Court…read more Bottom line up front: my reckless driving charge was reduced to defective equipment. As readers of this review are probably aware, in Virginia a reckless driving conviction is a misdemeanor that stays on a person's criminal record, in addition to being a six-point moving violation for DMV purposes. On the other hand, defective equipment is a three-point ticket that is not considered a moving violation, and I am thrilled at the outcome. While some of the result is due to my record--I have no moving violations in nearly 20 years of driving--I also completed a driver's improvement course prior to my court date at Suzanne's recommendation. Suzanne's paralegal Ami explained that if I sent the certificate from my course along with my record that Suzanne could probably get the charge reduced, but I thought the outcome would be a three-point violation like improper driving. This reduction completely exceeded my expectations. During my driver's improvement course, the instructor advised that a local attorney can be a good investment in Virginia traffic cases, as they have practice delivering an effective argument that makes the most of the time in front of the judge--often less than 5 minutes. The instructor also explained that for some Virginia law firms traffic cases can be a big business, which is why I got flooded with advertisements for for 3 weeks after my traffic stop. Given the nature of traffic cases and my circumstances, I felt strongly that I wanted an experienced, female attorney who was local to the area. I tried calling the Virginia bar and worked other attorney friends for recommendations. Literally none of the 30+ ads or the three other firms I called fit my criteria--but Suzanne did. I corresponded entirely with Suzanne's office manager and paralegal Ami, who was professional and easy to talk to. As noted the team made recommendations about evidence that could improve my case, they were good about explaining the process and correspondence in general, and their fees were identical to the other firms I considered or for whom I received ads. The best part? I did not even have to appear in court, which is huge because Boydton, VA is far from my home. Suzanne personally appeared on my behalf, and I got a summary of the result the same day. I hope you don't ever get a reckless driving charge, but if you do I recommend Suzanne.

Early evening in Pittsboro, it was neat to walk from the restored 1881 courthouse (now the Chatham…read moreHistorical Museum) straight across the street to the modern Chatham County Justice Center and see the sharp contrast in styles. The new courthouse was built from 2011 to 2013 in a Modern architectural design, a three-story brick and concrete structure with a projecting central section and tall vertical columns rising across the facade. It sits just south of the historic courthouse on landscaped grounds, and the clean lines, wide pediment, and contemporary symmetry make it feel purpose-built for a growing county. Seeing the two buildings back to back really drives home how courthouse architecture has evolved. The old courthouse is all Victorian ornament and cupola drama, while the Justice Center is streamlines, efficient, and clearly designed for modern court operations. Even with the building closed for the weekend, it was easy to appreciate how thoughtfullt it was laid out and how in complements, rather than competes with, the historic landmark across the circle.

Never thought I'd be writing a review about a courthouse but here we are…read more I had the privilege of sitting in the courtroom of Judge Pendergrass for a traffic violation. With everything going on in the world and people losing faith in our justice system my experience today gave me a little faith in humanity. Judge Pendergrass is the kindest, most disarming and fair judge I have ever seen, onscreen or off. Many in the room were nervous, tense before walking up to the podium. Even if they were handed heavy fines or judgement, they walked away relieved. He speaks to everyone with kindness and asks about their lives. One man had a one year old son and he talked to him about how exciting it must be sharing their first Christmas. He gave him extra time to pay off his ticket so he could get something nice for his son. At a stressful moment in everyone's lives, the demeanor of this judge is hopeful and heartwarming. Thanks for reinstalling some faith in our justice system. Judge Pendergrass truly is honorable.

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.
