    Just had a child custody hearing with Judge Sandra Unsworth. She was completely biased,…read morecondescending and rude. I had exhibits that she refused to even look at. This hearing has destroyed my faith in the system and ultimately will have a very negative impact on my family. Especially my kids. After the hearing, I spoke with several people who work at the court who said her staff and many people in the courts cannot stand her. My attorney also said she has a terrible reputation and is a bitter, lonely and miserable human. Has anybody else had this experience? I find it hard to believe this has only happened with my case. I want to file a motion for reconsideration and request others be there in person to see firsthand how corrupt this judge is.

    I had written a rave review about my online experience with SJC a few years back. Yesterday I…read moreaccompanied a family member in support of their situation and visited the physical location. Note to self. don't go to criminal court, ever, purposely. I am very grateful for law and order, and the people who have to enforce it to keep us all safe. And the stars are for the people who day in and day out have to deal with the stories I heard while waiting our turn to be heard. Do not wear thick, tie up boots. I could not get through security because something I was wearing kept sounding off the metal detector. I think they were the eyelets in my boots. The security folks are very patient and kind. It was first thing in the morning and we were early, and I could feel my hair standing on end.. The courthouse floor was pristine. Like a mirror. Hats off to the maintenance and housekeeping staff! There is a hush and also a "move to the left" when the incarcerated folks come in. Kind of intimidating to me just to view the presentation and hear the shackles. All of the law enforcement folks, the DA, Public Defender teams, court reporters, etc, were very professional and courteous. There were some family members in there crying. A room full of mixed emotion. I am grateful for the experience and appreciate and respect those who work in that environment

    I've had several okay interactions with Washoe County Sheriff's Office "WCSO" over the years at…read moreeach years National Championship Air Races and Sun Valley Nevada Annual Veterans Appreciation Breakfast https://www.yelp.com/biz/sun-valley-neighborhood-center-sun-valley. At one or the other I've met the elected Sheriff, several sworn Deputies, several volunteer Reserve Deputies, and several administrative staff. Their Press Releases on their website are well-written (FAR better than Reno PD or Sparks PD press releases). I have no complaints. Make us to choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong, and never to be content with a half truth when the whole can be won. WCSO has stepped up to help out Veterans. WCSO is now on the front lines of fighting to reduce the staggering and horrifying number of Veterans who daily succumb to suicide at the rate of more than twice that of non-Veterans. In 2000, WCSO recognized the special burdens of alienation and terrible toll Veterans carry from their military Service and created Veterans Barracks to house up to 60 male Veterans. Program includes the addition of Veterans' familiar resources from the US Department of Veterans Affairs and Veterans organizations. WCSO staff works to help Veterans in jail get out of jail and stay out by acknowledging their military Service and building programs centered on Veterans' shared experiences. "The ultimate goal is to reduce recidivism amongst our Veteran population in Washoe County," said Sgt. Andrew Venn, who is part of the Inmate Management Unit at WCSO. "We bring in very specific targeted programming just for those Veterans, so the classes they'll have available, for example, anger management, domestic abuse, substance abuse, and parenting are four major ones." Deputy Shannon Aller, who has a degree in psychology, said "The reason that we're doing that -- not only for us as an agency to track recidivism and see what's working, but to make sure that what we are putting in this unit is what they need." Venn said once he introduced himself as a Veteran to the inmates who are Veterans, "the change was instantaneous. They went from being standoffish and protective of their personal space to unifying under their shared identity as Veterans. The idea of peer support came up almost immediately and that is not something you hear walking around a jail," said Venn. An inmate told Venn, 'We're Veterans first.' WCSO partners with Truckee Meadows Community College to offer education for inmates along with representatives from Reno Job Connect, who visit biweekly to prepare inmates for a job search once released. Since 2020, WCSO have partnered with Northern Nevada State Veterans Home with their 'Operation Gift A Vet'. Some 86 female and male Veterans living at this Veterans Home are asked to write down three things they want for Christmas-- and their wishes are hung on the tree for the WCSO employees to collect and grant. Requests have been for slippers to blankets to compression socks to robes. According to Yelp ratings' definitions, 3 Stars is "Ok". That to me is an acceptable rating of a business that does day in and day out what they are in business to do. WCSO gets another star for their work with Veterans. On Christmas Day in history: 1776, General George Washington and the Continental Army famously crossed the Delaware River. Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of overcoming it. Christmas Day 1862, a grateful nation showed its appreciation for sacrifices of the US Army and Navy with dinners for some 35,0000 sick and wounded soldiers and sailors in hospitals in and near the nation's capital. President Lincoln and the First Lady attended the event--one of the more extraordinary of its kind during the American Civil War. "Nowhere else in the world than in America," a New York newspaper wrote, "could have been the sight which has made this holiday in Washington remarkable and memorable - spread by the hands of individual benevolence." Elizabeth Smith, wife of Lincoln's Secretary of the Interior, was a driving force behind this Christmas Day event. Financial contributions for the event poured in from individuals, businesses and states. (Indiana contributed $700, and $2,500 was collected in Philadelphia.) Food came from throughout the Union. Pennsylvania and Maryland shipped an "immense amount" of poultry. "Ever-generous" Albany, NY provided 300 turkeys, "cooked and ready to eat." Four carloads of poultry arrived from Chicago. Volunteers served the dinners in military hospital wards that volunteers had lavishly decorated. Christmas Day1896: Lieutenant Commander John Philip Sousa, US Marine Corps and US Navy Veteran, a "rock star" of his era wrote "Stars and Stripes Forever". The iconic song officially became America's National March in 1987.

    These people do not offer any mental help or veteran care. In fact they assault veterans. I was…read moresexually assaulted in the booking area. I was threaten with a taser for no reason, I was already being restrained on the floor. I have tried to get my records and video but they refuse. Worse experience of my life. I also believe that I was retaliated against because I told them i was a veteran and believed that all should be treated equal.

    I have used this used this school one time in 2022 with no problems and then I had to use it again…read morethis year in 2026 and in 2026 I was billed twice for one purchase this is fraud. And when I went to try to talk to somebody, they refuse to talk to me they only wanted to text. This seems extremely fishy. I did talk with Diane about a week and a half before this on a different matter and she was helpful but after that, nobody wanted to really help and they refused to call me. I also went to their business address listed, and it is an empty building with no office and no signage. If I get a call back and this gets fixed satisfactory, I will upgrade this review to reflect their resolution. It is not about the $25 extra. It's about the principal. They did not say they would remove the charge. The gal said she would send a ticket for a possible refund. And I did not make a second purchase in error. I only made one purchase. My biggest pet peeve was them refusing to talk to me on the phone to discuss it, which is deeply concerning. And now even if they were funded because of their mistake, I will end up having an overdraft fee

    WOULD NOT RECOMMEND! I used this service to remove points from my drivers license. I wish I would…read morehave read the reviews, but just followed the DMV link. I completed the course and checked my license after several weeks to see no reduction of points. I contacted Diana and spoke with her and she was very nice and said text her my certificate and she would resubmit. Again I checked several weeks later and still no credit. This place is a scam and will do nothing but waste your time and money. Use any other service except this charlatan!!!
