I've had the pleasure of dealing with staff at the Waterford Court Office on a number of occasions, and I couldn't thank them enough for their warm and empathetic approach. At a time of immense personal difficulty, I was treated with the utmost of respect, and my concerns were discussed in a fair, unbiased, and non judgmental manner. I offer my sincere gratitude to all staff members at Waterford Court offices for their guidance and advice on clerical matters, and I thank them for the kindness they demonstrated to me at times when I felt confused or overwhelmed by court procedures. An exceptional service that offers respect, dignity, and a touch of humanity to those who may find themselves under the most difficult of human circumstances🙏
