    Terrible care facility's, reception was rude on arrival, treated like a right criminal, provided transport was rough driver consistently drove through red lights not up to the standard I would expect of such a establishment. Lunch was no better, not much of menu to be fair. No one who works there can spell or correctly file a bit of paper. Rooms were pretty cramped, been in bigger and cleaner public toilets.

    I currently had a speed fine but did not receive the all the paperwork to my fine and case, I phoned up and told the court but after all that I was taken to court where I written a letter stating I did not receive the correct information or paperwork ( CONDITIONAL OFFER OF FIX PENALTY) and in doing so wrongly sentenced and currently can not drive.I have dates and facts of what has happened. I am currently going through a process of a appeal. This court is absolutely disgusting. I found this has happened to many people the court simply doesn’t care about people. I hope this doesn’t happen to anybody else.

    Complaints are abused by Micheal Seath chief clerk, he will fob you off, this man is a disgrace and deserves to be named and shamed.

    Absolutely a disgrace of a court, heartless and financially driven individuals who have no no consideration for the type of offence, mitigation or your financial difficulties of the different. Maximum fines imposed and a disappointment for the city as a whole. They make me sick to my stomach and the reason this city has gone down the drain. :(

    Lovely old building. Unfortunately 3 times more people attend this place than they have seats to sit on and the waiting room has zero ventilation. The clerk and security staff seem to treat you as a criminal, even if your here as a witness.

    Absolutely disgusting phone line that repeatedly tells you to call back later and hangs up (Option 8). Also, no where near enough seating inside the main building.

    Dvla stole my car and caused me financial loss, under common law they should be held responsible as I do not recognise their authority . The courts also need to stop working with dodgy parking companies. We the people are taking back public building. COMMON LAW COURT UNITED KINGDOM

    Most people inside are good people but not trained enough I got sent away and missed my court date cause the lady didn't see my name on a list also trying to get in contact is abysmal, waited the whole day trying to get in contact with someone I tried over 50 times (option 8) now its closed, why not keep me on hold for someone to come available? Instead of telling me to try again later. You'd think for a court it would be more professional.

    Specific judges need to be fired for handing out light sentences so that Paul Oliver and other offenders served NO jail time for feeding live gorgeous, innocent fox cubs to bloodthirsty hounds.

    Absolute joke of a system. My first hearing for speeding didn’t occur and I was immediately slapped with points and a large fine. Due to my right to appear in court, I had my case reinstated. Now my time said it would be at 10am: I show up 40 minutes early, take annual leave off my job and the man at the door told me it’s at 2pm?!!! Reading the reviews, I had to call them to confirm it’s at 2 in case I miss my court hearing: no answer, nobody there to assist me. Just keeps going back to the main options. It’s no wonder our judicial system is dead.

    The security check at this Court House is ridiculous. The amount of people waiting outside for security check is enormous and they do not have a security check machine (like in the airport) that they previously had and the process was easy and quick. Now I have to queue for 30min! I am a professional interpreter - a service provider. It's Birmingham, a metropolitan city not a village with 100 people living in and it's 21st century. Manchester Magistrates court can have it and Birmingham can't? That is the question for the management to answer.
