California... you'll always be an icon of growth, struggle, determination, overcoming; my personal…read moredefinition of perseverance. Between the three SoCal counties closest to beaches: Riverside, Orange, and Los Angeles - Riverside was the most affordable. Thought out decisions have brought me to leave CA all in all. When we moved from the expensive bay area, I chose to live in Riverside cuz I fell in love with all the palm trees. I was infatuated with downtown's Festival of Lights during the winter holidays - went to see it every year. Loved the cozy feeling of having hot chocolate champorrado on a chilly evening. Found it cool to tell family that 'we live in the Inland Empire.' Thing is most my life in SoCal was spent in the OC for work. But I was able to find moments of discovery when I was home in Riverside. My favorite is Mount Rubidoux. Who knew serenity existed a few blocks away from downtown, busy freeway, a University campus, and nightlife? Riverside has some well knowns! Fox Theater, Monster energy drink warehouse, Kaiser hospital, historical orange groves. Then Corona... circle city as it's called. On a map the main streets are shaped like a sun with Grand as the "crown" and streets branch out from it. Reminds me of how children used to draw a sun on a piece of paper. Mountain views, alluring sunrises and sunsets. Atop a hill on a clear evening, sights of spectacular city lights. Just taking these little big things all in - city of Corona is deserving of its name. If you decide to visit Riverside County, I recommend you stay at the Marriott in downtown Riverside. I had done so when I was out here for job interviews. Marriott beds are like clouds. And they carry an aromatherapy line for their bathroom products. In Riverside, you'll find many things to do, including visiting museums and historical sights, a drive to Morongo Casino less than an hour away - next to the Cabazon Outlets, a drive to Santa Monica within an hour; close enough to Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm. It's not a 24 hour area, but I'll say it's just right. Welcome to the Inland Empire!

You call. No one answers the phones…read more You leave voicemails. No reply. You leave many voicemails with many different people. MANY no replies. What?!! Only way to get any service is to go there in person.... and wait... and wait... and wait. Oh, bonus is you get to go through a security check run by rent-a-cops who think they are the secret service or something. County employees must have ultimate job security and can't get fired. They must not care about customer feedback. This is where our taxes go to. Pathetic.

I just want to Thank LISA HALL!!! I have had Case Workers that have helped me, but not like Lisa…read moreHall, she was so kind enough to help my son's father and myself take care of our case. I had a previous worker Mr. Ramos that did not help me at all, I felt like he was against me instead of working with me he was just a horrible worker that Not only did he give me Anxiety, & Depression making me feel that didn't care for my son and made me cry. Lisa Hall was then assigned to our case and she took the time to listen and explained all of our options in making our case so much easier. I was Blessed to have her as my Case Worker due to she answered All my questions right away, she didn't judge me in any way possible. She helped us so quick we never thought it would be so fast. I wish all Case Workers would be just like Lisa Hall with dedication to their job. THANKS A MIIIIIILLION LISA HALL you were the Best!! Now I can sleep at night with no worries.

This review is for DCSS in Hemet in response to a father's interactions…read more It is a hit and miss with these people. My boyfriend currently is paying child support on a case where income was not reported that he had paid. His worker is very rude, abrupt and seemingly gender bias. When you come in to these situations, you are probably already frustrated, and having someone who is abrasive makes it that much worse. If you need to talk with them, I would recommend calling with general questions, and if you absolutely need to talk to the worker, then get a hold of them. They told me there was a form on the website to authorize me to work on his account, but I have yet to find it. Soon we will go in to modify child support, I might amend my review again later.

For something very robotic and repetitive they have shown lots of care and appreciation for the Juror's Time. For myself, I'm missing lots of overtime pay even though my job pays for my time here but as the hardworking know, it won't be put on top of the regular hours to count as overtime for the week. But all in all, as an American citizen, it's the least thing I could do for serving because there are actual in-danger people serving out there for the US and I'm sure they still complain about their pay as we do in the cities/towns.... honestly the speakers intermission in-between were so funny!!

My experience at this courthouse, particularly while observing proceedings before Judge Yang, left…read moreme deeply concerned about fairness and impartiality. From what I personally witnessed, it felt as though the scales of justice were tipped heavily toward one side. During the proceedings, the prosecution appeared to receive more consideration, while certain matters the defense attempted to address were shut down. At one point, when the defense attempted to discuss information concerning the victim, Judge Yang stated, "we're not bringing that up." I understand that Judge Yang may have had legal or evidentiary reasons for limiting what could be discussed, and I am not claiming that any laws or ethical rules were violated. I can only speak about what I personally witnessed and how the proceedings appeared to me as an observer. Regardless of which side of a case someone is on, a courtroom should leave the public confident that both sides were heard and treated fairly. Unfortunately, my experience in Judge Yang's courtroom did not leave me with that confidence. The scales of justice should feel balanced for everyone. Contreras didn't get a fair trial. Victims family works at this court house!

Everything's computerized you go over to the computer stations you type in your information what you are requesting and then you head back over and you wait for them to call you up really straightforward really easy the girl who gave me my certified copy was so sweet and we joked around a little bit. Always nice to have that personal touch when you're dealing with the government agency. The whole process was easy and seamless, finished quickly, jumped in my car and I was on my way.

He first took the time to guide me over the phone, and when I came in person, he made everything even clearer. He walked me through the process step by step, explained things in a way that was easy to understand, and even made it visual, which helped tremendously since this was all new to me. His patience, professionalism, and genuine willingness to help truly stood out. I would also like to thank Michael from the Fire Department. He took the time to clearly explain fire requirements and what would be needed for a new manufactured home. His guidance was incredibly helpful and much appreciated. Both individuals demonstrated exceptional service, and the departments should be proud to have team members who are so dedicated, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping the community. Thank you both for making this process much easier to navigate.
