Reviews of the Superior Court of California, County of Riverside - Riverside Historic Courthouse
Very unorganized and slow. Can have an appointment for 9:30 and will not be seen until after lunch break at 1. Will always prioritize other county employees and lawyers before the general population of people. Will also prolong everything so it takes forever to get stuff taken care of. Been trying to get stuff sorted since 2016 because they say their computers don't have records. Even though I have shown them my hard copies and I have no active cases.
Architecturally significant structure and within walking distance from The Mission Inn and City Hall. An absolute pleasure was derived from viewing/ambulating around this building and gazing up to find stone figures watching over all the patrons entering this beatific Beaux-Art Palais style court in Riverside. Tenants originally occupying the court were the Sheriff, District Attorney, County Clerk, Tax Collector, Assessor, Recorder, Superintendent of Schools, and many others. This Court occupies almost a full city block and is an homage to being one of the state's wealthiest counties. Post-earthquake 1994 building was vacated then restored and rededicated in October 1998. Architect(s): Franklin P. Burnham and Bliesner (1904) G. Stanley Wilson (1930) Cornerstone laid: May 7, 1903
Do not try to represent yourself. Have the DA a gift with my case. Biggest mistake of my adult life. The system in this courthouse does not favor the defendant. Get a continuance and come back with council.
Had to call family court & my goodness was the lady on the phone horrible. She seemed bothered from the moment she answered the phone & was not helpful.
i can't really speak much about what goes on in or around this building. i can only speak on having some beautiful architecture like this tucked away in riverside. i've never really driven through here and i was so happy to have done so today. it's worth it to stop by here for a few minutes and take a look around.
