Reviews of Polk County Historic Courthouse
"The historic architecture is undoubtedly striking. The best place to take photos of this courthouse is at the intersection of 5th avenue and Cherry street, that way, you get the rest of the Des Moines skyline in the background."
"It is so pretty with those new lights. ❤"
"I mean no one like coming here but after the renovations and improvements it to also even the best in technology, updated interior decorating while preserving history, and genuinely nice staff"
"Judge was fair and understanding but everyone at this building needs to be fired. I had court at 9am, my car broke down. I had to Uber. not the courts fault I was late, but the fact that I had called five different times to let them know I was going to be late, and I got transferred every time to a different division because no one could simply just tell the judge I was going to be late and wanted to even listen to my 1 minute call. Eventually I got transferred to the right people, and I spoke to a woman named Ashley. I said, “my car broke down so I’m going to be about 20 minutes late, should I still come or should I reschedule?” Hastily with an attitude, she replies, “Well I don’t know if we’re gonna wait for you but you can come. We have another session at 9:30, but I’m not rescheduling you.” Not rescheduling me? If I needed to be rescheduled, its a constitutional right to be rescheduled. I understand my court session can't overlap with the 9:30, but to tell me you aren’t going to reschedule my restraining order because it’s inconvenient for you is unacceptable. You guys are the deciders of big things in our lives. if you don’t like your job, quit and let someone who cares be hired in your position. I told the judge she was very rude and unprofessional, he said she’s the most professional one here. If that’s true, god bless this building"
"All I care about is that people do their job and no BS but they were very helpful. I called ahead of time to make sure that I was heading to the right place for the paperwork I needed and a woman who worked there by the time I got to their office had it ready for me. Don't know her name but she had pink hair and she made it an easy painless process and for that I'm thankful. She made the difference between a good day and a bad one."
