Hennepin County District Attorney Review

No parking; horrible sidewalks all ripped up for disabled people and the court area is just full of nasty people taking advantage of their position. Security people were awesome and helpful to disabled - thank you.

Never can talk to any one and I would like someone to send me some papers to fill out for a birth certificate for my daughter. This was even before the virus.

This courthouse is an awesome wedding venue for an intimate wedding! We found some awesome spots to photograph portraits and the historical building is just gorgeous! Had a great time here as a wedding photographer!

Beautiful building and very freindley staff in building and outside not to mention house's the best probation officer in the world Mr roy Artis man what a wonderful man who works for you and actually cares thatk you roy

Jury duty is no fun. Parking is a nightmare. Public transportation isn't much help. The courtrooms art state of the art, at least.

Nice view from the 24th floor jury room. I haven't seen US Bank Stadium from this angle. A few years ago the jury room moved out of the basement and onto the 24th floor with these nice views.

Jury duty is inconvenient but a necessary duty for our free society. New Jury room is great, clean and efficient. Has a business center for those that can't just pause their lives. Center itself is remarkable. Don't want to do jury duty but when forced to - It's a good place to serve.

very slow and they treat u ikr anmail make you starve in freeze u harrase you and rob your hatd working money at the end....

Referee Harris is a shame. He seems to like to talk to anyone without an attorney or representative like he is a day time tv judge. I am glad you can write to the Chief Justice, which the service center informed me how to do. If Referee Harris was just not so bad I would give a higher rating as ever other judicial officer I have interacted with has treated everyone with dignity and respect that is due everyone.

It's infuriating that you have to take time off work to show up in person just to show your proof of payment or proof of a broken parking meter to fight an illegitimate parking ticket, then be charged a downright extortionate rate of $10 per 15 minutes for parking while you were there.

Furthermore you are forced to plead guilty to get the fee waived because if you actually want to plead innocent you need to schedule a 2nd court appearance and take additional time off work, a detail which is not mentioned at any point until you are already there with the hearing officer. It feels like they purposely make it so hard and inconvenient to fight a ticket that any normal person will just pay the fee. Feels a little bit like extortion.

In the future I will just resign myself to pay any unfair ticket rather than fight it (a process I have been through twice now and "won" both times), because it's impossible to actually walk away with a positive outcome (the 2 court appearances required to get an innocent verdict on a ticket would cost a minimum of $60 in parking alone plus taking time off from work on two separate days).

Atrocious marriage ceremony by the office of Judge Sara West

I called Judge Sara West's office to schedule a marriage ceremony on a Saturday. I specifically asked the staff member whether the building would be open on a Saturday and where. The staff member assured me that it would be. On the day of, we arrived and all the doors on 4 fronts were closed. It was -20 degrees outside and we had to wait 20 minutes knocking on doors until a security guard saw us.

For a service of more than 200 USD, I expected to at least get inside the building, but the lack of coordination leaves a lot to be desired.

Automated phone system is terrible i just want to ask a question

I'm pretty disgusted with this place. My partner and I have ordered a marriages license twice from here at the end of November and mid December. We have attempted to call a number of times to inquire about where our marriage license is and nobody meets our call. We ordered this marriage license for proof in insurance so that my partner is insured. Presently, my partner is without insurance because after many attempts in communicating and ordering our marriage license, we have nothing.

If you hate driving in minneapolis you'll hate having to come here even more. Park farther away and walk the skyway.

Every single aspect of everything in this building is inefficient and terrible

It is a public building and courthouse. Security cue was quite long, but security team tried to manage expectations in a professional and polite manner. 70s building, but nice interior.

Double standard B.S. and nothing good comes from going to court usually jail time.

The facilities and personnel, by the standards of a county government office, are excellent. All kinds of services are offered here, and the building is architecturally interesting and well-maintained. However, it is, in my opinion, silly to subject people on the services side to the same security as people entering the courthouse side. Maybe separate the two?

Prison sentence, 30 years should have had life. Praise God

Courthouse and the jail .l was treated fairly. But the state Trooper was one corrupt +&$_+-&+ and he did pay dearly for it. Thanks to the state of Minn.

I had a quick and awesome experience at the service center while renewing my license. The worker was very nice. I was in and out in under 10 minutes!

Judge Jeffrey Bloomquist ignored all of the actual evidence in my case. Instead, he believed all of my ex-employer's lies, even though the facts stated by her didn't add up at all. He also seems to have no awareness of professional ethics. He either needs substantially more legal training, or disbarment.
