New York City Civil Court Kings County Review

They state their hours at 8am-5pm but they don t disclose that their cashiers are open from 9am-4pm. This means if you need to get a subpoena or file a new claim, you have to do it within the 9-4pm hours. Wish they would advertise this somewhere so someone working a 9-5 won t waste their time.

Your name?
Good Morning, Your Honor, my -
I SAID YOUR NAME!

Very biased, extremely disrespectful, never been more humiliated in my entire life.
I brought a pack of documents with proof of my mother s rent payments (bank statements, canceled cheks), the judge did not even LOOK at them. He asked me What is it? What are you showing me? I don t want to look at this. You re making me nervous.
I am making him nervous.
My mother s landlord is harassing her for nonpayments LYING IN COURT (she DID pay, but the landlord asked her several times to start paying him in CASH and she refused) the judge did not even listen to me. He talked to me through his teeth and looked at me with so much hatred like I was his enemy number one.

This is justice, people.
This is the America we live in now.

In room 906, the front people are extremely rude. They don t tell you all the information you need, and I have been going to the same room 3 times to change my name( going to be my fourth time next week). Everytime, they tell you to get additional stuff. I also went to the one in Queens. Both courts require something different. I wish they can standardized how they work. At least they should tell you exactly what you need during the first time.

Wow 5 star escort to the elevator by an armed court officer really goes to show you how incompetent they perceive the public to be

Not enough workers slow slow slow. Depending on the time of day you go.

I have to say though the process was long and slow it went fairly for me. The judge was equitable. I was given a free lawyer. The suit against me and my roommates was dropped. What else could I want?

Apparently the lady on room 906 was to busy with her phone and nails. They should start from here for MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN , instead of persecuting people that want to change their lives!
You don t want to work, STAY HOME!

Regardless of decisions and cases, I want to say that the staff and security is always friendly and willing to help point you in the right direction. This is really helpful your first time visiting when things can feel overwhelming.

Long wait for broken elevators; sent from floor to floor on wild goose chase & made to wait for hours then told I need an appointment The phone # is out of service so you call for nothing. A nightmare. Judges in cahoots with landlords & their attorneys.

This court is a joke. The employees are rude, obnoxious and ignorant. Needs to be trained in customer service. So much for serving the public. Does not take the time to explain anything and gives the wrong forms.

rllThe Need to go early in the morning to get best service

The staff members are horrible, 3rd Floor for the cashiers line for attorney needs to be trained in manners, even if you are standing in front of them they completely ignore the customers, they are gossiping amongst themselves. they made me wait for at least 2 hours just to get my documents while they were doing nothing, they wouldn't tell me the time for waiting. Such horrible place. Manhattan and Bronx court are so much better.

I'm partially deaf. They have no visual number called so I never know when they call me number. Spoke to manager about it she was bothered and didn't seem to care about how I would know it was my turn.

Horrible unprofessional adult protective service is a robbery service and I have to change my payee somehow they are stealing my SSI checks and court is a joke

This place is spotless! It s so nice to be here with small crowds and a clean environment. The staff is relaxed and friendly. It s like everyone just got back from a vacation Now I just need to shmooz the judge

This court is horrible. The judges are always on the side of the landlord's attorney. This system is supposed to help prevent eviction and give people time to pay rent arrears. The "payment plans" that they come up with are unrealistic. Not to mention, it's ridiculously slow. You can get there at 8:30am and still not see the judge by 3:30pm. Even the housing inspectors are friends with the landlords. There needs to be some quality assurance in housing courts and the judges need to be held accountable.

Disgusting court house. Crowded. The air conditioner doesn't work so well. The toilets are hardly flushed.

3 weeks ago I came in with a notarized document and presented it to the judge, and he did not even read my document or take it as evidence. That was Judge Robert Fitzpatrick, and my housing assistant Mr Francis from Bayview houses has been sleeping with the residents, I have had zero to no help with my case. I lost my job last year and went to get my rent adjusted with no help. Nycha and the court systems are both flawed and disgusting. I would never in my life want to waste my time ever again in a city or state like New York considering it only caters to those of a lighter tone. Judge Fitzpatrick is a crooked individual along with the rest of the staff. The only people you can even remotely trust in that building are the guards and that's because they have guns. And the think the ones with the Firearms of the safest people in there. Nothing but corruption and hardship.

It's a courthouse, and while justice isn't always served? A lot of times it is. So I respect the Justice system.

Just had a conversation with a woman who had express nothing, but how much she did not like her job. Sighed at the 2 questions I asked. Gave me some random info I wasn't asking for. I proceeded to explain myself hoping she would get an idea on how to guide me to the right step or information, but she rudely cut me off and asked what it is that I needed?! Robotic at best. If you gave 2 seconds to listen you would have a better day!

I started a claim for my daughter when she was 16. I had to go to many hearings. Now it's 2 years since I started. Do you believe they made me start all over because my daughter turn 18. I don't think that is fair.

Horrible and very bad service they always angry and tu much discretion. Very bad experience in this place the worst.

Horrible treatment for the tenants, it's true that the court and judge's side with the landlord always . also they discriminate against the disabled.

This court, if court it be! Needs to be overhauled and restocked with workers and judges that follow the law and not their personal opinions and beliefs!

"In God we trust" Is just a quote at this discriminatory civil court/ small claims! The guilty wins while the ones with the proof lose. The wanna be female judge even granted my apartment keys to my enemy on which I have order of protection for death threats!Worst place & service ever! You get NO help at all. My hope is with the Supreme court now..Smh

A vacation in paradise. We the people doing our civic duty like selfless upstanding citizens.
