Fourth Judicial Circuit of Virginia, Circuit Court of the City of Norfolk: Norfolk, VA Reviews

Website is horid. Clerk advised can't place bond to vacate mechanics lien per code of Virginia u can.

I had a swift and great experience here with my fiancee for getting a marriage license and certificate. The best part was the marriage commissioner Sally O'Neil, who conducted our marriage ceremony with beautiful words and emotions making our experience memorable forever. I would suggest to the Clerk's office to provide a bigger room and better amenities like A.C. for the marriage commissioner since it was very hot and the room wasn't that big for a marriage ceremony.

Remember to bring a quarter for your phone. Park in the parking garage near by and walk. Remember to leave weapons in vehicle. It's very quiet, there are like 8 floors. Just ask security what you want, and they'll give you the floor.

This is the worst place ever to call!!!!! I need to get a court order to be mail out; before traveling. Since, Monday I've been on this phone trying to get someone as soon as possible. Today, I went to their website and see if they will respond to my message before traveling.

Please!!!! People, have a human answer phone call. We pay taxes!!!!!

When going through the metal detector, the security waiting for you with the wand is extremely rude, racist and on a power trip. If people are being cooperative, there's absolutely no reason for these guys to treat people so ugly just because they want to feel big & bad and don't like you if you're white. Also, they either act like you're going through the metal detector too slow or too fast. If you do as they told you before, they will tell you to do exactly the opposite next time (if that makes sense) Taking an elderly person with you? Well they treat the elderly like garbage too. I'm telling you, these security people have serious problems. I could understand their behavior if they were dealing with trouble makers but they are evil, no matter how submissive and nice you are. It doesn't matter if you do as they say because they will treat you like a dog. They shouldn't do this to the older, slower and possibly sick people. And they shouldn't treat you like a dog or like garbage if you are doing everything they ask of you. Try to hire some men who don't get off on treating people like dogs and try to hire some people who aren't on a sicko power trip. Sorry if you guys don't have any control over anything else in your lives and sorry you feel the need to punish white people yet give special treatment and a smile if the people are your race, but you don't need to use your job to play your sicko control freak games. Believe it or not, there are actually good people walking through there. Good people of ALL races. These guys on their power trips have no business dealing with the public. We shouldn't have to be subjected to your sick games. Also, sorry me and some other people didn't have the skin color you prefer. And yes I saw racism at it's finest because the white people were greeted with a bad attitude and were yelled at and made to go through the detector more than once HOWEVER, the people who weren't white and did set off the metal detector, mind you, were greeted with a smile, a "hi how are you today" and were told to go ahead and and walk on through....they weren't made to go back through the detectors despite the fact that they set the thing off. The white people who didn't set it off were made to go through it again and start taking off clothing. Surprise surprise, the people who were the same race as the security guy walked away with being treated like royalty. If white guys were standing there treating other white people like they're royalty and treating nice innocent people of different races like dogs, there would be so many complaints and maybe even protests. Power certainly does corrupt. There needs to be new people put into place. Everyone should be treated the same and be treated well, especially if you're doing everything you're supposed to do and everything that's asked of you. Just be kind! It doesn't hurt, I promise. This goes for every race by the way. I mean really, just be kind, do your job properly and if you're racist or have some sick thing going on where you feel the need to be on a freaky controlling power trip then you have absolutely ZERO business working in that particular field and you shouldn't be working with the public.

Unable to talk to a person in 3 days. The contract# given on line is not functioning. Wow

Are we going to ignore that the main image is a horrible photoshop of what the final building will look like? ...With the jail cropped out.THIS IS NOT A REVIEW OF THE COURTHOUSE...only of the image somebody loaded onto google. Posting a review of the courthouse is like placing a big stamp on your forehead asking for an official to look you up (because they will) on social media and find incriminating stuff about you. Food for thought.

I got violated on my visit to this town. See photo and you'll see

Most technologically advanced Clerk's office in Hampton Roads by a mile. Thank you George Schaefer and the staff for being at the forefront. You have made my job much easier.

Why have a number if you dont answer the phone! Tax money at work.....NOT!

What s the point of having a phone number on here if it goes to voicemail each time?

Haven't had any issues with security like others seem to have had. They have always been respectful.
Just make sure you LEAVE YOUR CELL PHONE IN YOUR CAR. They will make you lock it in a lock box in the lobby.
It's only $.25, but seeing as most people are probably going there to handle legal issues, it probably isn't going to help your day.

Very pleasant, quick, and professional. Had our marriage license in less than an hour.

Unable to get a live person on the phone in a timely manner and recive a call back within 48 hours.

EOE employment at its finest. Call 45 minutes before closing and no one answers the phone. I guess when you get hired just because you are a minority you don't have to be able to read or tell time.

Thanks for shutting off your phone answering system 15 minutes before 5 pm on a Friday. I'm sure you had somewhere to be......
