The place seems spacious, although the covid think had the waiting area shut down, everyone had to wait outside, they even offer chairs for elderly people and children outside while waiting to fill out forms and drop off, took me at least an hour to fill out the entire packet, only to be told by the county worker that this program required you to be US citizen and it's a loan so you will have to pay it back, how comes no one told us at the beginning, this is weird, but the employee navigated us to another program that we might consider called CAPI, since we're already here, she proceeded to take the other application anyway, hopefully when I decided to apply for CAPI they would called me back to finish up with general relief.

My Personal Experience with Judge Rosy Meyerowitz…read more I appeared before Judge Rosy Meyerowitz in a family-law matter at the East County courthouse. My experience was extremely upsetting and left me with serious concerns about how my case was handled. I felt that the judge relied heavily on her own opinions, impressions, and perceptions rather than approaching my circumstances with the neutrality and understanding I expected in a complicated family-law matter. I was on the stand to start my hearing when my husband's attorney asked Judge Meyerowitz for permission to serve me. She gave permission, and my husband's attorney personally served me in the courtroom. My husband was not present in court that day. I have PTSD, and this was extremely distressing for me. I was also concerned about what I perceived as a lack of experience and perspective in handling the complexity of my circumstances. Judge Meyerowitz was appointed to the Superior Court bench in 2024. I also personally observed what I felt was a very harsh manner toward other people appearing in the courtroom. I believe litigants deserve patience, dignity, courtesy, and consideration. This review reflects my personal experience and concerns. I am pursuing the appropriate legal channels to address them. One positive thing was the bailiff. He is always kind understanding, considerate and I very much appreciate that:)

One day I had to call the El Cajon Police Station because a woman resident who lives in this house had to report a serious crime that has happened in her previous place where she used to live at in El Cajon, CA. There were 2 police officers that came over to our house this month in April 2025. Me and another person came outside the house to talk to them. I talked to Officer Kyle Webb. Officer Kyle Webb is in charge he is the Sargent who was on duty that day. I asked Officer Webb some questions about this case that was filed against this woman who owns this Independent Living Home in El Cajon, CA. This woman owner has committed a lot of serious violations with these elderly people who are currently living in her house. There is a current ongoing investigation on her property right now. Officer Kyle Webb talked to me for about one hour that day. Officer Webb was very professional and polite when he was talking to me about this situation on this criminal matter. I usually don't like COPS but Officer Webb was very easy to talk to about this criminal investigation that is ongoing right now. Officer Webb made me feel very comfortable with him and I felt at ease with him when we were talking to each other about this case. Even though the El Cajon Police Station is a much smaller facility than the San Diego Police Station Officer Webb said they do their best to solve crimes in the order that they were received by phone calls first then by driving over to that specific house in person to write down all the evidence that is required to solve these crimes that are happening now. Both of these police officers acted very quickly and they were also very professional people and very knowledgeable and kind to me. It changed my way of thinking about police officers. I now have a more positive attitude towards police officers in general.

We got here at 11:30AM, they signed some paperwork, then it was a waiting game with the ceremony starting at around 12:15PM. Thank goodness there's air conditioning inside and plenty of seating. Especially in Santee and this heatwave we are experiencing, the AC was an amazing relief. They also had a water bottle refill station and water fountain. I also realllyyy liked that they had free menstrual products in the bathroom (so awesome!). There was lots of people getting married that day with around 3-4 other couples getting married. We waited for our turn and when the officiant was ready, they called the names of the couple and then we went outside. The ceremony area was shaded and had concrete benches, the only thing is that other women people/families waiting outside had slowly congregated nearby and were a little talkative. The ceremony area is located to the left of the front entrance and provided shade so I understand people want relief from the hot sun, but o feel like there should be a sign or a small fence or something to denote that that's the ceremony area so that people are mindful. ---- Overall: a longer wait time than expected, great free amenities, and affordable things like getting married!

The one we were greeted with was friendly and had a fun sense of humor. Once inside, you check in at a kiosk (side note, if you have an appointment, you check in from your phone when you park). You receive a number and are asked to be seated based on whether you have an appointment or not. There is a bathroom, which was clean. The air in the waiting room was nice (not stuffy or hot). When your number is called, you go to a window to be helped. Please be patient as there are only a few people taking care of many and the time slots are limited. The lady that helped us gave us bad news, yet everything we needed to correct my application and set us up with an appointment to do so.

While setting an SSA appointment the rep discovered an error and determined the root cause. Since their system had my phone and email info, I received reminders and information including an advance check-in weblink for when we arrived. I followed the link instructions and promptly received my ticket number before we got out of the car. There were a couple of people inside the lobby among the rows of seats towards the right when entering. The information TV screens and kiosk were to the left. Office SSA reps worked behind glass and each space provided two chairs with partitions separating customers for semi-privacy. We spent less than 5 minutes in the lobby after checking in online from the parking lot. Our SSA rep was friendly and helpful, answering questions and providing reasonable expectations of next steps after concluding the appointment in roughly 30 minutes to resolve why we needed to stop by in person. If you have an online account. I'd highly recommend taking that route, but if you must go the SSA office, be ready to endure the steps for making an appointment and be prepared with all necessary documents.

" Just Another Cafe With The Same Boring Tastes "…read more Went to the Cafe At The Courthouse in El Cajon, Ca and went into have a snack while we were on break for the Jury. The food is just OK.

But when you are trapped inside of the court house you have no choice but to go with the taste. The meals and drinks are also a little on the pricey side because they know they have you trapped in there.
