Best District Justice Independence Near Me

Chuck Williams: Online resources were not helpful and I couldn't fathom how to file declaratory judgement to get a new title for a car. I tried calling several times but never got through. This 4 stars rather than 5. I took the time to visit the civil court, which is located just inside the south entrance to the right.Joe at the front desk has patiently educated me on the nuances of filling out the petition. He has been very cordial and unbelievably helpful! I needed to run out to get some signatures, but thanks to Joe I was finally able to get it filed with confidence. God bless you sir!

Nichole Ortiz: Vicky on the civil side with forms was super helpful and patient in guiding me through the online resources! Thank you!!

Rachel May: I had person commit perjury in the Independence MO location. I don't know where to turn them in?

joni swaney: If i wanted to listen to someone talk i could talk to my children or friends. I want to talk to a person not listen to a recording after recording. I want to file a document thats all. If i want to to it online i would. I NEED a QUESTION answered thats all. Hire people like a few years ago. Not a bunch of recordings. This is so impersonal.

Robert Bivens (Rob): Well they take my money and put people in jail

Glenda Ross: Deserves 0 stars. The women who answer the phone act like THEIR job inconveniences them. Worthless to say the least

Vern Gib: This is the most ridiculous process. My mother has been trying to get her personal property taxes taken care of since she moved from clay back into jackson county. Finally, after three months she waited in line ALL DAY LONG. She is 70 years old and this is a ridiculous process for people who don't know how to use technology. Nobody could answer her questions over the phone or at the counter without having a place in line.. She was treated rudely by some of the staff. They are lucky i wasnt there. I was at work. This process needs a process improvement asap. My mom reported that the elderly people were stuck there all day. People in walkers and wheelchairs. No food, water, or inside bathrooms were available. Is this how we treat our elders? Unreal. Come on Jackson county get it together!!!Independence property tax applications

Tyler Samborski: Up stuck most snobby peaple ever to talk to over the phone, tell me to pay my fine online so I try but It say I can’t pay online. I live 3 hours, the right information should be told to me in person when I’m there not over the phone with some lady that has zero patience.

KeyaAnd Quezzy: They never answer the phone!!!!!

Good Citizen: Please support your 1st Amendment Right to video record the public service areas in Independence like the social Security administration facility. The security guard and police are tyrants and rights violators. We need to document their rights violations and horrible service. That’s precisely why we have a first amendment. It’s kind of ironic that this happens in the town of Independence.

Caleb Savage: Quick and easy. I put myself in line at the courthouse via text and just waited till there were 12 people in front of me and headed there. By the time I got there I only waited 15 minutes and a helpful lady got my property taxes set up and got me my waiver. Just call the courthouse for the number to put yourself in line first. Wake up at 8 to be the first in line or the Q will close before you can get in

Courtney Lindsay: 3 hour wait to obtain 1 form in order to get my car tags switched from KS to MO. I had to call into work in order to be here....

Sean Laney: Thank you for kicking me while I’m down. Nothing like a monetary fine for having expired tags to reinforce that I’m poor. I now have $0 in my bank account for the week, guess I just won’t eat or get gas for work.

Blake Adams: This place is a joke

Christopher Lincoln: If I could give the Independence Municipal Court 0 stars along with the judge over my case I would. I filed charges with the Independence Prosecutor to have a woman by the name of Mikysha D. Bates prosecuted for stealing my social security number and compromising my identity. Mikysha D. Bates had got every utility bill in my name from Spire, Evergy, KC Water and even a AT&T/Direct TV cable bill. These bills totaled over thousands of dollars at an address I never lived at that they are trying to hold me accountable for along with a fraudulent check that Mikysha D. Bates sent electronically to KC Water. The amount of money this has cost me to clear my name and miss days of work while Mikysha D. Bates hired a defense attorney to have a lesser charge or to have the case dismissed is ridiculous and absurd. If Mikysha D. Bates defense attorney finds this okay maybe she needs to steal the judge and her defense attorney social security number and tarnish they're identity and credit representation. She reluctantly didn't show up to court the day she was supposed to because she doesn't want to take no accountability or responsibility for her actions. Now I'm stuck with the bills while she is living her glamorous life on Facebook. I tried going about this the right and legal way to recieve justice for the mental, financial and emotional stress this has caused me and this is the thanks I get for doing this through the judicial system wow I guess this is what justice really looks like so much for liberty one nation under god with liberty and justice for all.

only success: Terrible service

Grisel Carreon: Impossible to get anybody on the phone

Kim Cox: Judge Helms (Gary) is short , rude , won't give you a chance to explain anything , he's very inconsiderate and needs not to be a judge! ! He doesn't care to find out the truth he's just ready to get outta there and go home !

Tino Le: Update: According to the news. Judge Gary Helms was reprimanded with a different judge due to his misconduct and some violations. Some of them were failing to comply with the law, failure to promote confidence in the judiciary and failing to avoid abusing the office of judiciary, etc. I was the victim of domestic violence and get charged with the same crime by this judge. I’m glad the court reprimanded this man. I have to live my life with a record because this judge abuse his power and denied to hear my side of the story even when my ex failed to appear in court. She had been charged for domestic violence for beating me up with multiple objects the first time when we lived in Olathe. Since I moved to independence I had ran into this judge twice for different situations and he always look at me differently because I’m Asian. The first time he charge me for some logs behind my own backyard and fine me without giving me time to clean it up and the second time for dv assault when I was the one who called the police for help. I know this review is long but I’m just trying to get this off my chest. I’m just happy that he’s no longer a judge for independence for the sake of the community. I’m still trying to get my case expunge to this day. Hopefully the legislative pass a law to where I can expunge this off my record🙏. God bless America!

Connie Rivera: The 1st judge I encountered, Judge Helm, was curt, and rude, and accused me of asking for 2 continuances when it was actually the court who imposed them, as he imposed yet another, 3rd, continuance.This court appearance was because a cop accused me of running a stop sign, which was NOT true. When the judge, Susan Watkins, finally heard my case, she wasn't interested in hearng the details of my case or looking at the photos I had. So, without considering the details, especially the photos, to prove my innocence, she found me guilty! But to her credit, she waved the fine, $92.00, and only charged me court cost, $31.50. Still, it's a mark on my driving record. 😦

Jimmy Elmore jr.: If I could I would give it 0.

A B: Terrible. Just a money machine.

Daniel Henderson: Got a seatbelt violation after I was rear-ended sitting at a red light... I took my seatbelt off to get out of the car.... How does that mean I was driving without it? *Because you didn't put your vehicle in park before getting out* was the answer I received. Everyday I lose faith in the independence PD and all the people working at this courthouse...

The Law of Attraction: A love story like no other only God is allowed here 2 helper guard us. Thank you and God bless you for your service.
