The Justice of the Peace Court is very important, even though it handles relatively minor disputes and some misdemeanors. The cases, which the court handles, can be very disruptive to a person's life. For example, being evicted from your home is a major event in anyone's life, and having to evict a family can put both a financial and emotional strain on a property owner. As a practicing attorney, I understand how stressful and unfamiliar the court process is for most people and I work every day to provide an Justice of the Peace Court that will treat all with dignity and respect, be very user friendly, and accessible.
