This is one of the nicest courthouses in North Carolina. However, it also handles more cases than most counties in North Carolina, so you're likely to run into issues you may not see elsewhere. Make sure that you are PREPARED before coming to court. If you're here for traffic court, have a copy of your citation. Traffic court is in room 1130 on the first floor. If you come in from the back, you are on the second floor. Make sure you turn off your phone ringer or else the deputies will jump down your throat. The lines can be long, which can be avoided by hiring an attorney so you don't have to go. Parking can be difficult, so arrive early. The clerks are always kind and helpful if you have any questions. Criminal clerk is located on the second floor. Civil clerk is located on the third floor.
