Clayton County State Court Clerk

I was extremely nervous about coming here today for traffic court . As an African American male i usually don’t have a pleasant experience when it comes to the judicial system . I would like to say that today was different . Everyone from the front door staff to judge was extremely nice . Everyone spoke to you if they walked passed . Judge shalonda in room 205 was also very pleasant and fair ! Shout out to the prosecutor as well for practicing fairness . Clayton county court really impressed me today , thank you all so much !

Water tight security in and around the complex.Temperature check.Dont go there if you have covid.Payment for traffic Tickets was easy.Very friendly and courteous workers.

I called to request documents. Each time I called Ms. Pauline was so very helpful. She told me what I needed to do, she also sent the documents as soon as possible with no delay. I am so very happy that Ms. Pauline is working at the Clayton County Clerk Office. What she did for me was extremely important and I am so very thankful she was the one to assist me!

I don't usually do reviews of clerks, but as a lawyer, after seeing the existing ones, I wanted to speak out. Over the years I have dealt with dozens of Superior Ciourt clerks, and Clayton is a model for others - efficient, helpful, speedy and organized (and polite). I am sure pro se litigants get frustrated there (and in every county) as clerks can't give legal advise and coach the public, since that's illegal, but when asked to do things clerks CAN do, the folks there, both over the years and recently, get a solid A/Excellent. It's appreciated by lawyers who don't always see this in some other counties.

The Clerk of Court, Tiki Brown, is very professional and went out of her way to help me even though it was an inconvenience to her. These employees work very hard every day dealing with often very difficult customers. They are very much appreciated by the attorneys with whom they work on a daily basis.

Called and spoke with a Ms. Felicia who was very helpful in pointing me in the right direction for my issue. Much appreciated because I’m operating as a proxy.

Everyone was helpful & nice 👍 ♿ accessible Fast service. I am MEGA pleased!

Very nice the lady even came around the corner to help us on the computer

Ms Charleen Bevel was very polite and helpful 07/14/2020 THANKS

Don't bother calling because they're too busy..or lazy to pick up the phone. Days and days of calling with no luck.
If you take time out of your day to go in person have at least 45+ minutes to wait in a room full of people due to the slow service. Understaffed and no customer service, but what do we really expect with Clayton County.

Dont bother to call if you missed court they dont answer. They want to see us in jail. Yall can send court dATES OUT IN A HEART BEAT BUT CANT PICKUP THE PHONE .

The main ladies at the door and window of the jury duty room were rude. Would not answer questions. And if they did they were snarky remarks. This is my first time doing jury duty and I didn’t know that they would not feed us. I asked the lady at the door my questions about food, me she replied with didn’t your mom cook you something (I’m 34 but I look really young). I replied with my mother is dead. She died 10/5/2018 of kidney failure, so no ma’am my mom did not cook me lunch. This pissed me off. Also security asked me to open my robe the second time I came into the building. I am a Muslim woman and that made me uncomfortable. Like why didn’t u ask me this the 1st time I came in? If I had a bomb it’s already inside if this is my second time coming in. The attitudes in here are stank. And the empathy and intelligence is low.

5 straight working days of no one answering the phone..

Edit: I never received my divorce decree from 2019. I’m not a GA resident, but my divorce was finalized in GA, and have been trying to receive a copy.

Id give 0 stars if I could. Getting in touch with the clerks office is impossible. Please do better! We are trying to do our jobs but we can't when you guys dont pick up the phone!! Filings not getting accepted, etc.

I have been trying to get a copy of my marriage certificate since before Thanksgiving. The week after I was told a judge had to sign off for it. The judge was off the week after Thanksgiving. Now this Monday I was told the the marriage date I requested was wrong and they were sending me a letter. Today is Dec 8. I have not received anything from Clayton County including a 10 dollar money order. I am retiring as of Dec 23 and my meeting with ssa is Monday dec12 and I need this info. How incompetent can you be.

Chanae Clemons should be thrown out of this office. non responsive

Horrible. They need to get updated with their website…and hire people to answer the phones. I hate this place. Nothing like home. Broward County, Florida would never! You can click on documents back home online . Instead of always having to call or go up there and even if you need to call it’s someone there to answer the phone!

Went to courthouse to take care of a rental deed and being pregnant I choose not to walk through the x-ray device so I asked for a pat down just as I do at the airports and other courthouses.

The VERY rude and unprofessional "security" officers told me NO oh well and to come back with a doctors note. After a quick phone call the the Sheriff onsite, I was able to come back in the building and have a pat down so THANK YOU CC Sheriff and to the security officers who opt to NOT do their job, I hope you are looking for a new one soon!

I had an appointment at a Clayton co. residence three years ago and the only place to park was on the street. The neighbor across the street backed out their driveway and struck my car. Mind you..., I WAS NOT IN THE CAR, I WAS IN THE HOUSE!!! I called for an officer to get a report. He WROTE me a ticket for 'illegally parked on roadway' and the neighbor got a to very for 'illegally entering roadway'! He REPORTED that I made an illegal U-turn and caused an accident (the clerk exclaims the report says 'illegal stop'). The clerk says to me, "When you went to court and pled no lo on the citation of illegally parked on roadway, the ticket and report stands as the same. You should have disputed that in court!!! Sorry..., nothing we or you can do now!" Then she transferred the call to the criminal division...!
That improper report is costing me jobs and has put 5pts on my licenses! For years I've had a spotless driving record until this nonsense.
