I've been in here three times to pay property taxes. Always been ill-prepared because reasons. Every time, they have sat down with me and let me email them things, show them photo copies, call other gov. offices etc. to help me do what I came to do. Each time they take an extra 20 minutes just so I don't have to make a second trip. Never made me feel stupid for not knowing what I needed, even though I should have. Little things like not making me feel like a moron, go a long way in a government building. That's just been my experience.

The department of Civil Process hired the most incompetent human being you have ever seen as its director. Her name is Jonni Wright, and every taxpayer in Jackson County should be thrilled she is gone. She wasted at least a million dollars of your money, taxpayers. She hired a guy named Jack Foster that: 1) The county purchased a brand new car for him to spend half of his time in the field (which never happened) 2) He received a car allowance (fraud) from the county that was treated as income...would love to see these tax returns. 3) Because of director Wright's incompetence, the department (county court) was sued at least a half dozen times...losing at least 2 of these suits and getting bailed out on a few others because of immunity. The amount of money spent defending the county court, along with needing the Attorney Generals office to help, meant the amount of money lost because of Ms Wright's incompetence is well over a million dollars. 5) The county actually hired Foster as her replacement....he is clueless to many functions of the dept, as was Ms Wright. Every taxpayer in Jackson County MO should be outraged at all of this. I did not even go into the hiring process that let Ms Wright screw the taxpayers, but a few emails between her boss that hired her (Jeff Eisenbeis who was sued and is now gone) tell the story. A few "sexual innuendos" were discovered at trial. Now we get to the current assistant court administrator Tracy Smedley. This person LIED on 17 pages of a deposition she gave relating to all of these lawsuits, with no consequence whatsoever. 1) How did she keep her job? 2) How was she not disbarred? Now before you say how do I know she lied? She admitted it on the stand!!!!!!! Unfortunately, there is much, much more I cannot disclose at this time.

I was in and out of court for more than 5 months. Judge round was my judge. He does not care about children involved in divorce. My children are 17 and 15, and he treated them like they were 7 and 5. He never once talked to the kids to get their views. The only thing he cared about was forcing them to goto another city for a week at a time. He was "a bully " when it came down to myself and my kids. My lawyer didn't show up due to a mis placed paper and even with my attorney office on the phone with his legal person, refused me to have court continued and made me represent myself. On another court day, the opposing council called sick and the day of court he postponed for her. Also when that day got here same day as court, I got a message saying the judge had something personal and pushed back court 2 weeks. This judge apparently had a personal issue with me and treated myself and my kids poorly for it. I recommend that judge round be evaluated for this had removed from the bench as he is very unprofessional.

How do people even get a job here. The clerks can’t even answer a single question that you ask and they sound like they don’t know what they’re talking about. they either put you on hold and hang up in your face, transfer you to different departments that doesn’t have anything to do with what you want or transfer you to a line that rings forever. Complete waste of my time. I’ve been dealing with a civil matter to where someone owes me money and I can’t even get information on what’s going on with my case. So irritating 😠 I have a real busy schedule and don’t have time to be traveling downtown wasting gas, dealing with traffic, pedestrians and parking meters just to get answered one question that could be answered over the phone. This place needs to DO BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If someone wants to put garnishment against you and take it out of your paycheck or bank account do they have to give you notice of this happening?

cathy buck | Sep 3, 2020
Ronald Jurgeson | Sep 3, 2020

They typically have to have a judgement first. You should have notice of that. Once the jmt is entered, they don't have to let you know when they file garnishment though.

the answer is they are a bunch of cold hearted cops that helps great circle and dfs steal your child. calling it protective custody..and getting by with it while they tear that family apart causing terrible pain... careful they will take custody and sell your child calling it adoption... they are worse than kidnappers...at least you have a chance to pay common kidnappers money and get your child back...dfs and great circle sell your child and you wont see them again....raise all kinds of hell people to anyone that might listen or care.. then you maybe will get a chance with a damm good attorney
