⚠️ Scam Alert — Fake Court Calls
We’ve received reports of a phone scam where callers claim to be from a “Criminal Processing Division” and say you have a warrant for failing to appear in Judge Puffenberger’s court. They may then demand money to “clear” the warrant.
Please know: The Lucas County Probate Court will never call about warrants or ask for payment over the phone.
If you receive a suspicious call, hang up and contact the court directly using the number on our official website—not the number in the caller’s message.
The Lucas County Probate Court continually strives to fulfill its duties courteously, efficiently and effectively. Please feel free to contact this office if you have any comments, questions, complaints, or compliments with regards to the operation of the Court. I sincerely hope that your experience with my Court will be positive and beneficial.
