Court changing phone numbers

Effective Oct. 23, the Geauga County Probate/ Juvenile Court’s new phone number will be 440-2264446, and its new fax number will be 440-375-6810.

The new phone and fax numbers are in addition to a new website — www. geaugapjcourt.org — and new email addresses for Court staff — @geaugapjcourt.org — which are all part of a larger court security IT project funded in part by an Ohio Supreme Court Technology Grant, according to a news release.

The court is confident that these changes will better safeguard the confidentiality of the Court’s records from unauthorized access, the release stated.

Each Court staff member will also have new direct dial phone numbers, and the court’s updated department phone numbers and fax numbers will be published on the court’s website on Oct. 23.
