5/3/2019 - The self help is generally a first come first serve with a ticket system. One time I was there there were 3-4 people waiting and they had been there over an hour. The next time there were 3-4 people waiting and it only took me 10 minutes to get seen. It was a little odd. When asking questions about form 100, they indicated only a page could be filed with the Claim and Order to go to court. They were not able to tell me where I would put more pages for more information (or why I might want to do that). There were other questions that to me were procedural and to them it was legal advice and they were unsure how to answer. I got so turned around by lack of info in areas I thought would have been easy that I forgot to ask about the Subpoenas and Orders.
