Documents that have not been digitized can be viewed at the court counter during business hours at no charge – please request the file ahead of time using our Records Request form to ensure it will be available for viewing. Audio transcript files will only be provided via secure email link or on CD.

  • We do not return long distance phone calls; please include a local phone number or email where we can contact you with questions or to provide a quote for costs, or call back during business hours.

Adoption and Juvenile cases are confidential. Access to these cases is limited and may require you to present a court order allowing you access to records as well as photo identification proving you are a party to the case.
