Who would lie about that? Not me...not you. I explained I had a piece of mail with my son's name and my address in my car, but was told NO. Come back when you have something. Another day and I got in line again. Was second...woot! But the young lady in front of me was transferring from Ohio also and had been there several times before. She had a driving abstract - whatever that is - instead of a Drivers License and a interlock. I don't know what that is, and it was causing so many problems I hope I never find out. Someone finally came to help after about 20 minutes, and I was done in about 5 minutes. Exiting I saw the line had grown to about 25 people. So lucky me I didn't came later. I would probably have left and some again another day.

She was/is very excited…read moreabout the name change and once we got the paperwork we brought it back notarized the next morning and before the end of the day we got a call saying it was official and we could pick up the paperwork. We had no lines on either visit and when they called I explained I had told my daughter (she's 6) she would have to sign something. A wonderful employee named Gaila (I am sure that's spelled incorrectly-sorry) made this even more special by asking our daughter some questions and getting her more excited.. thank you!!! From this staff and the judge that doesn't let these things pile up-- good work! I am from San Diego and the stories you hear about wait time with any government office is not an exaggeration so I am shocked on how smooth it is here. I miss my hometown but NOT the lines and trying to make sure you get to the right person. This experience and previous ones at this courthouse have been amazing! Thank you For anyone curious... name change from Sandra Marie Frances to Sandy Bella

This is a safe courthouse with screening but is not so obtrusive to make our court house feel like a jail. The clerk of court staff from Tracy Winkler on down are helpful, courteous and caring though they can not give legal advice. The bathrooms for a busy courthouse are fairly clean most of the time. The lawyer lounge is a plus though I rarely use it. it really has not changed all that much fro 55 years ago when my grandmother used to take me there.

This is a pretty run-down Northern Kentucky suburb which is a bit like stepping back in time. I'm not saying that Cincinnati is a very fancy city by any means but you do feel like you go back 10 or 20 years in time when you cross into Northern Kentucky. Newport is one of the Heartland towns up here in nky along with Covington, and I like coming here for Dixie Chili mainly, which is really awesome, but Starlight has a very different opinion and she totally freaked out when she came here with me in a way that I've never seen her freak out before. She did not appreciate what she thought was somebody coming to actually attack me. It took her quite a while to recover from it. I will never forget it.

I really appreciate good costumer service, I know that we are all human and have own issues, but when you're at work you have to present yourself with professionalism- just like what I had experienced at the car registration renewal today. There's only two people ahead of me, and the wait was not long at all when it's my turn. I was done in less than 5 minutes. As long as you have everything you need- you're done very fast. You have to remember to bring your checkbook or cash to save for the additional charges if you pay with a credit card.

I was not a plaintiff or defendant merely an outsider observing family court. When you have, not one attorney, but a Guardian Ad Litem, County Attorney and a private attorney, telling you it is a bad idea for you to send a child with a complete stranger to another state and you do so anyways you're a terrible judge. Although it seemed the child had two useless social workers also (Williams and Gaines). This particular case seemed botched, but then again I have seen this judge botch other cases as well. Votes matter just so you know!

Fairytale-like house [Cincinnati OH]…read more We couldn't just drive-by this whimsical house without stopping and doing a double take... and staring. This is the Mushroom House in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Cincinnati. The amount of detail is really breathtaking: circular steel steps, deck rails of wood shingles, stained glass windows, tiled ceilings... of course, I had to snap some pics. How often do we come to Cin City. The original owner/builder by the name of Terry Brown has passed away in 2008. The house is currently not on the market and occupied as a private residence as of 2021. Here are the deets in Zillow: 1 beds, 1 baths, 1,260 sq-ft.

If you're passing through Cincinnati you have to stop by the Mushroom House. This is the most…read moreunique real house I have ever seen. It is a relatively young house, when it comes to house age. It was started to get built by architect Terry Brown in 1992 and completed in 2006. Terry Brown him self resided in it until his passing in 2008. This house looks like a mushroom from a certain angle, and like an owl from another. It is a fairytale house in the real world. There's so much fine detail, there's no wonder it had taken this genius man 14 years to complete this artistic masterpiece of a home. The spiral orange stair case was chained off not allowing access to the public. There was a car parked in the driveway as well as a surveillance camera. They also had a "no trespassing" sign. The land around, although very minimal is very well groomed and well kept. Something tells me there are people who currently reside here. I don't know how I would feel about living in a home that gets so much attention and that is always being photographed. The Mushroom House is a must see in Cincinnati. Use your fairytale imagination to guide you inside. Happy travels!

I'd been given all the paperwork I needed and was told to head straight to the BMV since it was close by. But after being turned away at the door (they only accept so many people in the lobby at once), checking in online, waiting, finally being allowed in, waiting again for my number to be called, finally getting to a person, filling out a page of paperwork and handing it over, I was then told I had to process my name change with Social Security first. Of course social security is by appointment only and seemed to think the BMV should've been able to help me either way. God forbid I get everything done at once. But I have to say that the woman I spoke with here was very kind and helpful in the way she answered all of my questions. Apparently if you're military you can accomplish everything over the phone and online. So that's what I will do in the future!

But this time I got speeding ticket from a State Trooper who is smarter than the Waze app. (He used moving radar, got me on I-71 at mile marker 34, which is not half a mile from where the speed limit raises from 65 to 75. This guy knows exactly how to game the system.) Working with Attorney JR Bernans was a breeze. He advised me on the current state of the local prosecutor (some recent personnel changes at the courthouse added some nuance to the case. We discussed strategies, and probable outcomes. And while I know that everyone will not be as fortunate as I in their legal disputes, JR was able to reduce my speeding ticket to a nonmoving violation. This guy is GOOD at his job. Took all of the hassle and stress out of the equation for me. ac And while I can't vouch for the firm at large, I expect that if they attract talented attorneys like JR, working with Rittgers and Rittgers is probably going to be a great experience for you. It certainly was for me.
