In large part I say the Whittier Courthouse is 4 stars due to the judge who was assigned to our…read moredivorce case. Judge A. Verónica Sauceda was extremely professional on June 18, 2026. My ex and I were forced to sit through several other cases before us. The one right before ours was not very pretty. Judge Sauceda handled it well. Such wretched lawyers she had to deal with! The court system for Los Angeles is honestly a bit chaotic at first, but it is mainly because of the populous county. I had more questions after speaking with the judge so I called the hotline since my ex and I are representing ourselves... the guy I finally reached was friendly, but said an attorney would reach out to me no later than 3:30 pm. It is now 7:50 pm. I'm not hopeful for a callback tomorrow either. Parking was free but usually quite a long walk to the courthouse. Not a fan of the clerk's office at all here. I went there several times to file papers within the past five years and they were so rude to me and all other patrons around me each time. Despicable me, despicable me.

If you have to file anything for Family Law, I suggest going to a different courthouse! Whittier needs to close that Courthouse...again...WHITTIER COURTHOUSE IS A JOKE!!!

I visited this police station seeking assistance with a report request, and unfortunately the…read morecustomer service I received was disappointing. Yvonne Llamas was unhelpful and appeared unwilling to assist me from the beginning. Because I needed assistance in Spanish, another employee was initially asked to help, but when Ms. Llamas became involved again, the interaction continued to feel unprofessional and discourteous. I understand that public service employees can be busy and deal with many requests throughout the day, but members of the public deserve to be treated with respect and professionalism. A more courteous attitude and a willingness to help would have made a significant difference. I hope management reviews this feedback and continues to emphasize the importance of providing professional, respectful service to everyone who comes in seeking assistance

Wow! I can not believe how low the rating is and bad reviews, for a city that is all I've known…read moreall my life. I grew up here, my kids grew up here, seen lots of changes since 1975 (yup!). I can understand the complaint about the incompetence of city employees; I've had mine with the Police Department & also with Whittier High School & WHUSD (side note w/both school & school district, I'm talking a few certain employees, the rest of employees were fine, it takes a few bad apples, as they say), that is much needed area of improvement, but I don't take it out on the entire city. And the city is most certainly not desolate! Try going to San Bernardino and you will change your tune. Yes, there has been ongoing rise of crime, tagging/graffiti, lots of outsiders from all other cities moving here- both good & unfortunately bad (West & So. Whittier and unfortunately pockets of Uptown as well) moving into the area, apparently it's appealing to them as well. There are times I go to Uptown for dinner, drinks or to chill, it seems like you have to be there in the day time till early evening before the mob of socialites & attitudes come out at night and saturate it. But again, it's not that bad, just know when to go, know where to go and know when to leave, if your the younger generation, then I guess you guys know how to handle it, focus is elsewhere anyways right? But what does the city have to do with it? If we can all look up above it and take it for what it is and make the best out of it, then it's all good. I probably won't buy a home out here, unless I won the Lottery and was in a position to pick and choose (I choose Whittier Hills, Friendly Hills & the best of East Whittier only), but mostly likely looking to get as far away from the city and live on an open field of homes with a view of the mountains in the quiet sleepy town of Yucaipa, what some will call boring, I call it peaceful. But when I get homesick, I know I can come back to good old Whittier. The point is, if your new to the area, have an open mind and give Whittier a chance.

Whittier is one of those cities that has pretty much everything you'd want from a city, from nice…read moreshops, restaurants and a large middle class population. If your a foodie your gonna love this city because we have it all and who makes the best of a certain type of food is up for debate! The city is pretty safe compared to neighboring cities and yes Whittier has pockets were gangs and low life's thrive but Whittier PD is pretty aggressive keeping the city safe. As for the average citizen we have old folks from the old Nixon days and the new generation of people trying to live in a modest home and give their kids a good life! If I could suggest any change i'd say the city needs to do something about the homeless in uptown and the gang activity in the surrounding area! Also limit the number of apartment complexes and section 8 because we already have a large share of renters! This city has a lot to offer on the weekends if you check the city website. It's far from a boring sleepy town, It's a thriving town with wonderful people living in it!

I had a great experience with the people who ACTUALLY WORK at SSI. It went smoothly. The security…read moreguy is also nice. However, two security ladies are rude; they are middle-aged, and one appears to be in her early 60s, so please keep these disrespectful "low-class security guards" in your head. These women are so lazy that they would rather waste their breath and sound dumb than get up and unlock a bathroom. My dad and I came from the courthouse, and we were told to go to Social Security; however, we didn't know we had to book by appointment. My dad had to use the restroom, which so happened to be very close to the entrance. The one in her late 40's or 50s started whistling for about 10 seconds; we were confused at first because (why can't a decent or educated person use their words to grab someone's attention), so we walked to her desk, and she gave us attitude, asking various questions like, "Why didn't you go to the courthouse" over and over again as she is making mockery faces thinking she knows better. Keep in mind the courthouse is about a 15-minute walk and a 15-minute drive from the building, and these are the furthest apart; the library is closer to the courthouse. My point is that's enough time for someone not to be able to go. Plus, your desk is about 20 meters from the entrance. Then the 60-year-old butts her way in, basically copying her coworker, thinking she's helping HER. She does end up opening the door. Then asks me rudely if I needed to go. Like, come on, all you had to do was get your a## up. When I finally came for my appointment two weeks later, the 60-year-old was giving me a hard time again. For a different reason, now all she had to do this time was direct me, which was only a few steps to the sheet and say, "Fill this out". On my end, all I did was show my confirmation. End of story, like why they have to give people a hard time. For security guards, this attitude is utterly embarrassing even as human beings. The staff actually handling the social security can give customer service 1000 times better, says a lot about you as a person.

Five-Star Review for Social Security Administration…read more I've had nothing but excellent experiences with Social Security. Anytime I have questions or concerns, they are addressed promptly and professionally. The staff--whether on the phone, through the 1-800 number, or in-office--are always kind, understanding, and patient. The process is straightforward, and the website is easy to navigate. Even when speaking with an attorney or judge through Social Security-related matters, I felt heard and respected. That's a rare feeling with government agencies, and it deserves recognition. A special shout-out to the Norwalk office--they go above and beyond. Overall, Social Security provides truly outstanding service. Five stars, two thumbs up, and a big round of applause!

WHO IS THIS FOR THE BENEFIT OF???? The unilateral…read moreannouncement of restricted hours is falling on angry ears as the very people you will restrict from the preserve with the 9-5 hours are the taxpayers who work those hours and rallied to support and vote in preservation of the hills. They will be restricted access and fined because they work when the hills are open. It is outrageous and frankly I rather see development or oil drilling then to pay taxes to support something we are then denied access to. This will come back to haunt those who make such a hasty decision when funding issues are considered. I recommend you go on their website and see the notice of the New Preserve Hours- on left side of page.
