I will say, all the employees and even the security guards were very pleasant and efficient. They…read moreanswered any questions they could and even helped out the Spanish speaking people as well. I arrived early around 11:50am for my 12:10pm appointment and I did not get seen until 2:05pm. I just needed a new ss card so from the time I was called, sat seen and left, it was less than 2 min. At 2:07pm I was walking out the door. Apparently they were dealing with a Government shut down so a lot of things they were not able to access and a lot of people had to leave because they were not going to be able to be given any information. Also, they do NOT take walk-ins. An APPOINTMENT ONLINE MUST BE MADE!

I was told by a very helpful woman in Raleigh that to complete my application for spousal social…read moresecurity benefits I needed to just bring original marriage and divorce paperwork. She said i did not need an apt. I showed up and was greeted by two rude security guards. They turned me away and said i had to call the 800 number. i tried to explain i was 99% done and approved, just needed to show papers. The guards would not even listen or look at my letter. SSA needed original papers, phone calls were done and not needed at this point! So Raleigh - great considering these trying circumstances. The rude security guards in Charlotte? THEY are the ones that should be DOGEd.

I was here to help a friend and appeared as his witness in his uncontested divorce proceeding. The…read morebuilding is easy to find in "downtown" Lancaster, with a large gravel/dirt parking lot behind. There was a security presence, with a local police officer walking people through a metal detector and wanding everyone who entered. I'm not sure if he was a Lancaster city officer or a Lancaster county deputy. He seemed pretty thorough. Clearly posted signs indicate that no pocketknives, purses or lighters are permitted. What was odd was that cell phones and beepers (who has a beeper these days?) were not allowed at all - you have to leave them in your car. I felt very disconnected for the hour we were there. No Yelp! What to do? There were a couple of well dog-eared magazines on tables in the waiting area, as well as a Coke machine. (60 cents per can. Bargain!) I had to actually... talk... with my friend. Weird. The courtroom was pretty simple with a bored looking bailiff (Rusty?), the white haired judge and a court reporter. Standard set up with two tables, chairs and a witness stand with readily presented Bible for the swearing in process. Easy, pleasy. Once our case was called, my friend's attorney asked him some questions, the judge asked his required questions, I was called and answered my questions and we were done within a very few minutes. Divorce granted. There are now two more single (and happier) people on the planet. Yeah, it's weird to post a review of a court. I'm not sure if I'll keep it. Yelp already had the listing. I wouldn't have reviewed it if i wasn't already here.
