Why We Built This Site
Public access is useful only when a request reaches the right custodian. In Pocahontas County, Connie M. Carr serves as Circuit Clerk for circuit and family docket files. The Magistrate Clerk keeps lower-court civil, criminal, and traffic records. WVPASS provides public circuit searching, while the Magistrate Case Record Search covers public magistrate case information. The County Clerk is a separate office for deeds, probate, vital records, elections, and county recordings. This site brings those distinctions together with verified contacts, search methods, and copy-request guidance.
What You Will Find Here
- Case lookup instructions: ways to search by case number, citation number, party name, and court level
- Docket references: help reading Pocahontas County criminal dockets and civil dockets
- Hearing information: steps for finding and confirming court dates and settings
- Document requests: routes for obtaining court records, plain copies, or certified copies
What We Cannot Do
This is a privately operated reference site, not part of the West Virginia judiciary or any Pocahontas County office. Its role is limited:
- It cannot retrieve an official docket sheet or case file
- It cannot set, move, cancel, or confirm a hearing
- It cannot amend, seal, or remove a court record
- It cannot authenticate or certify a copy
- It cannot provide legal advice about a specific matter
- It cannot promise that a fee, contact, or setting has not changed
An official or certified docket copy must come from the clerk or court that holds the original Pocahontas County record.
Search Partners
Outside providers supply search boxes on some content pages. Each provider controls its results, fees, service, and data practices. A paid signup reached through one of those tools may generate a referral payment to this site. That support helps fund free access to the reference material, but it does not give us control over a partner's prices or records.
