Bureau County Court House - Princeton, Illinois

This place is an absolute scam. Every middle class person is treated poorly and are guilty until proven innocent. Their cases are pre ordained, and unjust. I was sued for medical bills when I had two active insurances at the time of the birth of my son. They messed me around for months, to just tell me I owed it anyway because I signed the paper two minutes after I gave birth…instead of holding the insurance people accountable at the hospital for not turning it into either of my insurance’s. So that was my fault because they didn’t do their job. The local hospitals are shut down for these reasons. People not doing their job. And secondly my husband is being treated unfairly for standing up for our 9 year old son, who was being bullied by a 30 something year old bus driver. We obtained a statement from the superintendent at the school stating the horrible things that were being said to my 9 year old son, also finding out that he was talking about his genitalia to high school children also riding the bus. My husband is the one being reprimanded because he simply asked him why he was bullying a 9 year old.( in a very respectful way I might add) Our kids haven’t been on the bus or in the public school system since, but this doesn’t stop this courthouse from trying the get money out of a man who can’t afford it, nor owes the money . The only person who owes a fine and needs a mental evaluation is the man in his 30s bullying a child, and talking to high schoolers completely inappropriately. These people aren’t even taking the time to do what’s right, they didn’t even read the statement from the superintendent. They couldn’t have . He’s just automatically guilty, because the other guy was the first one to call the cops?( and he lied on his statement I might add) I’m so confused. This system is all about money, and who you know. I don’t know how these people sleep at night . The amount of negative energy and karma these people must face in their personal lives has to be astronomical, because you can just walk around treating people like this, and live a happy life.

Feels like walking into a snake pit. Everyone lies which is why they don't want recordings. They are even juvenile about it and petty. You won't convince me these people aren't willfully evil and getting kickbacks for the very scammy, shady things they do. We need to get these people out of our government.

Went in today just to ask a few questions about a home auction since the hours ARE NOT posted on here and the sheriff was very loud to inform us "THE COURTHOUSE CLOSES AT 4 PM!!!!" Then proceeds to point to the circuit clerk door and says the hours are right there. Sign reads "passport applications accepted 8-3."

No additional information was given to us about how else we can reach the circuit clerk or Treasurer.

Super unfriendly people, hope I never have to deal with them again

This is one of the most unprofessional institutions I've ever dealt with in my life. The county clerk in particular was extremely rude and unhelpful. I was told incorrect information for my court case. It turned into a huge ordeal that could have been avoided if the people working here could actually do their job and weren't useless. Places like this are the reason society doesn't respect government institutions. I wish them nothing but the worst.

Amazed phones are not allowed at all. I can understand inside the courtrooms, but for most other offices, just ridiculous. Why are you afraid of cell phones? Not doing your job properly?
