McHenry County Courthouse — Attraction in Woodstock

A Judge should be studious, courteous, conscientious, patient, punctual, just, impartial, fearless of public clamour, regardless of public praise, indifferent to private, political or partisan influences. He or she should administer Justice according to law and deal with his office as a public trust. Well, let me tell you Judge Cynthia Lamb Is the complete opposite of that above example! Her demeanor and facial expressions were terrible. I was trying to represent myself for a traffic violation while she was giving me a hard time because apparently I didn’t know the process, since I am not a lawyer, or having any background of law. They did not want to hear evidence of Dash cam footage or recorded phone conversations with the police department Who admitted that one of the dash cam videos from an officer showed my car at the stop sign, and would prove my case but he told me it got deleted somehow. I’m sorry, but when the officer pulls somebody over, they shouldn’t say you “sort of” Rolled a stop sign. You have to be more assertive. It’s either a yes, or a no! Since they did not want to hear it, I’m sure social media would love to see the videos and recordings.

I thought I had faith in the government, but with How the world is turning out right now I’m not sure being in this country anymore...

I got a case of traffic court here and you can tell the only purpose is getting you tired of trying to fend for yourself, and make the process as long and annoying as they can, pushing the court dates by convenience of the officers, and attorney, so the court fees can raise even more every time the dates/trials are rescheduled. Even having the chance to present your case finally on trial, I explained the financial hardship I have to deal with being a working single mom, I never had a traffic ticket before, who can’t afford daycare to attend, and have to drive about an hour to get to this courthouse, just to get the case rescheduled and have to attend another new court date. I wouldn’t want to think that has something to do with the fact that I’m not white, but I felt the different attitude towards me since the officer Lewandowski from crystal lake police get to talk to me when the alleged offense happened. Long story short, the Attorney Swanson bombed me with a lot of legal terms, that a common person doesn’t know because we are not all lawyers. Then ended up paying about 300$ for this trial, delays plus court costs. You can clearly see is all...

My hat will always be off to the service you provide.

Bathrooms are always immaculate and sanitized.

Everyone from the Chief Justice, Honorable Judges to the (Corrective Solutions Staff), Probation office staff (Faith & Jennifer), SA, Sheriffs, PDs, Police Officers, MHC/DUI Facilitators, unmentioned staff, and the Private Attorneys, & Counselors working tirelessly day in & day out to ensure the integrity & safety of our community.

Family members don’t always agree with our actions, but they always support our efforts to live our best possible lives & realize that together, we can.

If you can open yourself to empathy beyond words…you might hear someone you never thought would understand you, & actually say something to change your life forever.

For me, it was being called Family.

Whether you believe it or not, you are cared for here.
