Tuolumne County Superior Court - Sonora, California

The court clerk is really not doing her job. I have paid the bail amount for traffic ticket for which the refund is pending for almost 2 months. I have followed with her 5-6 times and all she says she will talk to her supervisor and call me back after 2PM, which she never do.

Either she is not doing her job or don’t know how to do it. We need good and ethical representatives in courts. There is no way to complain so writing the review in case any official can take action.

The staff were friendly in the courtroom, but some clerks outside the courtroom were rude. Being friendly and polite can get you far in life. They could use some customer service training, especially for people who've never been there and are unsure where they're going; they don't have to treat you like you are stupid.
Being on your cell phone and texting when you are supposed to be helpful to the public is unprofessional, and you act like we are being rude for interrupting your "Candy Crush" game by asking a question.

First off, the message about possible closure due the weather hadn't been updated for five days and the weather is still under a severe winter warning.
When I went for jury duty selection there were not nearly enough handicapped parking spaces and once inside there were many more people than there were seats, the same was true for people waiting to be called into the court room.
Also, there are no visible signs on the second floor indicating where the restrooms are located.
I expected more organization and convinces from such an expensive and modern endeavor.

This is my first experience with this courthouse. Court staff answers calls promptly. One very important item to note: I just learned that the court operations are moving to the new location at 12855 Justice Center Drive, effective 11/15/21. The court's website should prominently announce this important move on its website: there's no mention of this move and this could affect parties and counsel who must give formal notice for hearings scheduled for newly filed cases.

I thought I was treated unfairly. The Judge granted the other party before he read my case. He don't care what I had to say without a lawyer. The other party has the money for a lawyer. I have the Last Will of Testimony. But yet how does the other party get the property and leave me homeless? I was the one that took care of the person until his death.

Since my original comment was removed. I won't be silenced. I wanted to like judge Boyack but I can not stand by the racism of making fun of my husband's and my last name. Very unprofessional all around. My family member works as a high official and they won't even stop for drunkards calling out to them as they have real problems. even the ones screaming at people. My husband although drunk, did not bother anyone walking to his hotel room at night. But an officer with an ego problem had to send the wrong message. Would she of preferred if he drove and got a dui? After being raised around law enforcement I am appalled at this county's precinct. None of you would last a day in the city if a homeless man even approached you. Your job is to de-escalate not escalate and be power hungry with your ego which seems like that's the M.O. in this county; Judge and officers alike; shame on you all for 0 tact, 0 honor as an officer and 0 respect for a non white person. All of you should receive training regarding the real world. What is wrong with you people... drunk and disorderly conduct for being safe? You guys living is the 1930s or what? All I have to say to all of you and how you treated my husband is ew. Will never be coming back

The law « help » person to whom I was recommened by the AMAZING, SUPER NICE, VITAL RECORDS DEPARTMENT LADIES❤️, was sadly no help at all. Vital records recommended that I might find the answer to a legal question about the procedure for filing documents with the probate court with this person in the law library/help center. It’s on the right as soon as you walk through security. This person was not only unhelpful, she was unbelievably rude and condescending for no reason I could see other than being a mean and bitter person intent on making herself feel superior by belittling the people around her. What a terrible way to live and so unfortunate for the desperate people that come here to seek the legal help they need!

3 judges with a caseload for at least 6, every court date is at LEAST 6-8 weeks out, the clerk staff are friendly and usually helpful, that's about the only good thing, other than the courthouse is a wonderful piece of history.
