Aftab Pureval is the Hamilton County clerk of courts. You can visit the new site at www.courtclerk.org.

When I was running for office last year, I told the people of Hamilton County that we would create a modern, efficient Clerk of Court’s office that would put customers first and would invest in technology. I’m excited today to announce that we’ve kept that promise by unveiling a brand new website for the clerk’s office.

The new site provides a modern and fresh look and makes the site more user-friendly and intuitive. It better organizes the information on the site to make it easier for people to find what they need. And for the first time ever, the site is now mobile-friendly as well, so citizens can access our site on the go.

We’ve also added new services like the ability to contest a parking ticket online. We will continue to put more services online so that customers can do their work when it’s convenient for them.

We have added and organized new self-help resources from dealing with landlord and tenant disputes to handling expungement and record sealing. Access to justice is the priority for my administration, and we will use our new site to add more resources and to produce self-help videos that assist people with forms and filings and common procedural questions.

Our new website is now using updated technology which helps strengthen the security and the safety of the important personal data we store. The old clerk’s website used a technology that was so outdated that it would be difficult to protect against hacking or other security breaches. The new site solves for that by utilizing updated systems that better safeguards our data.

In just four months, we’ve moved from a website from the computer stone age to a vibrant new site that is modern and efficient and that emphasizes customer service. It is a great example of why our courts need to invest in technology. Technology is the great equalizer, and when we make it easier for people to do their work, we make the playing field more level for all users.

We spent time before designing the site with attorneys, judges, criminal justice advocates, auto title dealers and the citizens of Hamilton County to better understand what they wanted to see in a website, and we are grateful for all the feedback we have received about how to improve our services. Now that we are launching this new site, we want to continue to hear from you about suggestions and improvements, and we invite you to visit the survey and contact links on our website to share your thoughts.

Today, we are very proud to announce the launch of our new website. The new site has a better look and feel, offers more services, provides more resources, utilizes mobile technology, and is safer for our customers. It’s truly a win-win for the county and for the 2 million users of the site who rely on its information. And it’s an example of what we can accomplish when we invest in technology and put the people of Hamilton County first.

We look forward to making more improvements in the clerk’s office and ensuring that justice is available to all of us, not just some of us.
