16 Best Paralegal Programs In Sacramento, CA (2022 Updated)

The staff is very helpful from enrolling to making sure you have everything you need for class. MTI has some of the best teachers around! Every teacher I’ve had so far has been super helpful and understanding and go above and beyond to explain every step of the way so you don’t feel lost. They’re very hands on and invested in every student’s success. When I first came in I felt overwhelmed as to how things would be like but they were all very reassuring. As long as you come to class and pay attention and ask questions there’s no way you can fail!Titus Tinch

BY FAR THE BEST INSTITUTION I HAVE EVER INVESTED MY TIME & ENERGY IN! The moment you walk in for a consultation, the staff will greet you with a smile & positive energy. They are very organized and have great communication skills. If you are lost and need further assistance, the instructors and staff will be there for you. You can most definitely count on them! This is not just a school, this is a community. Much love to ya'll, keep up the good work!Balla Diarra

It is my third week and so far the in person classes have been extremely helpful. I love the campus and staff are extremely friendly. They will go over anything if you don't understand it, even if it is your 4th or 5th time asking. The availability of the teachers ranges according to their own schedule. There are Multiple teachers and instructors to help you out.Richard Saelee

Overall, an okay community college experience so far from 2019 to 2022 (I took some summers off). The registration process for me was a nightmare. OpenCC upon some of the other processes were buggy, nonfunctional, or unclear. Despite this, I have to give them slack as when I was applying they were revamping their websites significantly. There's a mixed bag of good and bad staff. Some professors will be insanely rude, not understanding, and sometimes not even lecture properly on the topic at hand. Other professors will be really kind, understanding, and actively willing to work with you. Always look up the professor on Rate My Professor!!! Eservices, Canvas, and Counseling are atrocious. Eservices has been buggy at times or down for multiple hours. Canvas is usually a decent online learning tool, but sometimes it can get buggy and is not always accessibility friendly (as seen by not having a dark mode for example). I recall a time when Canvas was down due to the host servers, which are owned by Amazon, were completely offline. Counseling is not always helpful in guiding you to where to go next, will sometimes not even answer calls nor emails, and can get really busy (even with the switch from the old building to the Welcome and Support Center). I suggest looking up some information yourself on ARCs website first before talking to counselors, such as course catalogs or what classes you might take for a specific associates degree. I wish that counseling would still give out PHYSICAL course catalogs, but it is what it is. Finance is usually okay for parking passes, but other services is like pulling teeth. Communication on what is going on campus varies from good to poor. An example of this is when the pandemic began around midterms and there was the report of two people being exposed to Covid on campus, which caused mass panic and multiple people just walking out of class. Parking can sometimes be an issue, so be prepared to walk a little bit. Also, you will need a parking pass from a kiosk or buy a parking pass permit for the semester. Bathrooms could use some work. I recall a time where after flushing the bathroom started to flood. Food choices were fairly solid. If you were going to Starbucks or Subway during lunch, lines would get long. Only food offered on campus now is either from the student store, the cafeteria, the Oak Cafe, or the few vending machines on campus. Off campus, there's quite a few food places around, such as Lis Mongolian BBQ, Chik Fil A, and In-N-Out. The bookstore has been unorganized in the past, but is relatively chilled back and clean nowadays. Be warned that some things will be overpriced, but that's normal for college. Also, don't be shocked if there's a hassle with ordered books or book returns for refunds.Emily “Emma Anne” Branecki

It's almost like 90% of the people who work here will be rude over the phone and tell you to do everything online. They have messed up most of my paperwork, resulting in me having to resubmit residency forms, application forms, proof of ID. Somehow they put me as out-of-state which includes a 900% markup per credit. I went from expecting a $150 bill for a single class and ended up with a $1200 bill. No one wants to help sort it out. No one wants to answer the phone. The website is difficult to navigate. Honestly, I have had a single positive experience with one person in Admissions, and everyone else has been pushy, rude, dismissive, and argumentative. I am considering switching to literally any other school in the district. My partner attends SCC and it's laughable how smoothly they handled his transition back to school, compared to mine. Edit: it should also be noted that I had applied to ARC 4 times since 2013 and never received a welcome letter. I had emailed asking why I applied and was not told anything, or emailed, called – nothing. I got no response. Called last month because I was at my wits end and I am told "I can't give you a student ID number because your application was DENIED." I asked why and she told me she couldnt tell me. I asked for a supervisor who immediately told me "we have the wrong SSN for you, so none of your applications were accepted because it didn't watch our records." My CORRECT SSN, was being rejected. In 8 YEARS NO ONE EVER TOLD ME THIS. Just like they didn't tell me I was listed as out of state, despite submitting residency information multiple times. This school is a JOKEI Illyria

The college is great..,.. the bookstore however is 1 star at best. The school district sub-contracted it out and the new facilitators understand that they have a built in market from people having to use their financial aid or other assorted vouchers from various Govt entities and as a result they practice poor customer service utilizing people that are quite adept at rapid fire litanies telling you why none of the delays or shortages are their concern or problem. In fact in my opinion 90% of their employees that deal with the public are nothing more than thugs and bully's. They take no responsibility for faulty instructions in how to use the new book site with vouchers and tell you that they are "saaaawrrrrry" when they tell you they can't locate your books and give you a date when they will be in. Once again, in my opinion, they are nothing more than petty tyrants and bullies that should have their contract terminated for lack of accountability on their part. The layout has changed,alot of the const of the past couple of years is finished. Check updated maps of Campus on Google 😎Greg Spittler

I moved to California when I was 16 years old I met a lady called Joey that worked for Mcgeorge School of Law. She was the sweetest and really took care of me. Blake the lawyer assisted with my case. They had me meet with them several different occasions to bring in documents( a lot of documentation). We filed my case finally 6 years ago. They were able to get all fees waived and it was a lot. It was truly an amazing experience. I just recently received a call from Blake i now have a workers permit to work in the USA. Sooo grateful. I highly recommend Mcgeorge School of Law. They make you feel comfortable and they get just as excited as you when the paperwork comes through. Love love love them.Tracy

UOP'S Sacramento campus has more than just McGeorge, including many of the new school of health science programs, but the historic law school is the heart of it. Charming brick architecture and a close-knit feel isolated from the surrounding neighborhood.Amaranthine Witch

Attended a day-long seminar on California water. The lecture hall was clean, had buckets of sanitizing wipes available, clear restrooms and chargers available at the desks.C.S. Engeron

They treat their students like garbage. Very judgmental staff and instructors. They tried to kick me out of the school because the vending machine ate my money and I tried to get the item. They lie and fabricate stories to drop you. I was signed up for a weekly zoom meeting that I wasn't told about and they told my instructors and staff that I never signed up and was rude over the phone. None of that happened. All I ever did was work hard and kept quiet but was told that I yelled in a classroom once?? They couldn't provide any proof. Weird and bizarre staff that goes behind your back yet smiles to your face. I commute over an hour to get here and work late night hours I don't deserve that treatment and am disappointed and ashamed of the staff here. Definitely wouldn't recommend to anyone unless you want to be discriminated against the whole time. Terrible experience Update: an instructor named Bruce Weaver told me to leave because I was wearing shorts and go home and change because it wasn't dress code. On a day that was 105 degrees. This guy is a complete joke and is a terrible instructorGoron Saki

My experience at Asher College has honestly been the most successful I've been at any level of education previously. The Instructors they assign to us and the way in which we are allowed to pursue knowledge, be it through reading or lectures or hands on trail and error, make not just learning the information possible, but guaranteed! I honestly believe this College has a system that adapts to its individual students and that combined with the motivational and friendly environments they create, make this the BEST and MOST SUCCESSFUL Education experience I've ever had! 10/10 would recommend!Cam2Koo

I never expected to learn so much before attending Asher College. The Instructors and administration are some of the greatest people I've ever met; no matter how busy they are, they will never let you feel unimportant. The instructors are knowledgeable and the administrative staff are so very helpful. I attended this school during a hard time and I felt nothing but care from all. They enjoy seeing you succeed and have an inspiring passion for teaching. THANK YOU for giving me such an enriching learning experience.Chris Agnew

I cannot even begin to say or express how happy and impressed I was with Legal Doc. I worked with David and from the beginning to end, he was dedicated, professional, Friendly, full of knowledge & a true go-getter. Knowing this was a process that wasn’t taken care of through my divorce I was so stressed but literally by the end of my first call with him I already felt a huge sense of relief just in speaking with him. David truly & wholeheartedly works for you so quickly, efficient, and sees your documents every step of the way, not to mention keeps you informed as well. If I ever for any reason needed his services, I would be honored to let him take the job. I was a State employee & he’s very well versed in their options for the QDRO’s. Thank you David for helping me get through this, you took my stress away.Rentura Alarcon

Highly recommend David Weissman to process your forms in a timely and professional manner. I have been going through divorce and like many, was not understanding any of the legal terms being used. I was recommended by David myself, called him and the next day he started working on my case. Returned my forms fast, submitted the forms to the court and in less than 2 months was legally divorced!!!!!!! I am too happy with his services. Such great customer service. On another note he always, always answers your text, phone calls and emails immediately. Very professional.Stephanie Isabel

I came to Legal Doc because I need help filing our divorce papers and understanding the process. And I also didn’t have time to go through every single line item. David was a HUGE HELP!! I mean saved me so much time and energy! He helped me which each document and made any changes necessary on the spot. I couldn’t be more thankful that I found them!! Thanks David for everything!!Gabrielle

My wife and I were in the process of obtaining a divorce, which was amicable and cooperative. I managed the initial pleadings and property declarations, but when it came time to format the marital settlement agreement, and prepare and submit the judgment paperwork, I was in over my head. Based on her excellent reviews, I engaged Angela at Prepared Legal Documents to complete the process. With her professional skill, experience, set-up, and understanding, we were able to complete the process both timely and successfully while saving at least $10,000 in attorney fees. Understand that Angela does not give legal advice, so you have to know what you want and need in order to use her services effectively. I am extremely satisfied.Michael Roof

Best legal prep money can buy. Diligent, punctual, knew exactly what to do. Positive vibe made a horrible life experience that seemed hopeless turn into confidence that led to me winning my case. Case in a nutshell: mother absconded with child out of the city and everyone was telling me that men never win their cases. She knew the right paperwork to file for an ex parte hearing… knocked out the right paperwork to give to my lawyer and boom. I was awarded full custody. Experience made this happen quickly. My case was emaculate thanks to her know how and experience.530Mentes

I can highly recommend Angela who was attentive, responsive and thorough in handling my filing with the Sacramento court. After worrying for weeks how to handle my issue from 500 miles away and during the uncertainty of a pandemic, Angela calmly walked me through the process, answered questions, and assured me that she would handle. She provided clear direction at every step and her rates were extremely reasonable. The matter with the court is now resolved and I'm very pleased. Thank you!Susan Sims

Angela is an all star! Impeccable customer service, prompt and extremely knowledgeable! She wears so many hats and does so quite elegantly, I have absolutely no reservations in recommending her whether it’s a real estate endeavor, or legal attorney services in terms of service of legal documents or notary public she can assist with it all. I met her a couple summers ago when I was going through a divorce and deliberating on selling my home and i know exactly who has earned my business should a sale or additional purchases occur anytime. I got lucky to have met her and coincidentally our kids shared the same gate classroom then as well. I love that she is so family oriented and courteous and as a fellow process server I can also say that she has a solid foundation while compassionate. Thank you Angela!Charlene Banks-Shepard

I had a terrible experience with a nasty tenant who quit paying rent and refused to move out of my rental. I contacted LDA and my representative, Angela, handled my case and worked it through the long process of notices, process servers and court appearances from beginning to end without a hitch. As a self performer, I thought I could do an unlawful detainer eviction case by myself. But after seeing all the forms and notices that need to be filled out exactly, I realized I would have been in way over my head. Most likely the case would have been tossed out in court if I had tried to do this on my own. Instead we won and I received a judgement for back rent, court costs and of course, eviction of the tenant. Thank you Angela, and LDA, for helping me in a flawless, most professional way.Richard Smith

I called Legal Document Assistants because I needed a Paralegal to prepare my court documents correctly. I also needed the Defendants served by a process server the same day. I didn't have any time to waste! My documents needed to be filed asap. They answered my call right away and got the job done in the same day. I was very impressed. I thought I wouldn't be able to find anyone able to help me, as quickly as they did. Since then, I've also used their mobile notary services. The owner Angela is always helpful and available to answer my questions. I will recommend this company to all of my family and friends that need help completing legal documents.Rissa L

Called to ask a simple question and the operator couldn't understand me so she acted like she couldn't hear me. When I told her I was on a landline phone, she started to answer me but gave me a bunch of random answers. I finally asked to speak to someone else, her excuse was everyone is busy. I had to hang up and call the main campus. Please have someone that can understand English work the phones. By the way, the question was "If I have someone go pay my class fees, do they only need my student id number." when I called main, the question was answered right away. English is also my second language. Not bagging on anyone but don't beat around the bush.james phan

Staff answering phone calls very unprofessional, not looking to help. I was trying to schedule an appointment to meet a counselor and was put on "hold" numerous times only to have the call disconnected on the other end. When finally connected after having to call back numerous times lady had a horrible rude tone and basically said she can't do anything to help me. Like I don't need you to help me, i need a counselor….Manveer Sangha

Worst counseling’s people and staff. They had so much attitude. I had appointment I came 15-20 mins late because of it was raining and also hard to find the location. They could not help me.Vikash Kumar

I graduated here in 2011. Now 11 years later I still have mixed feelings. You should go to this school only if you absolutely must stay in Sacramento. If you’re recruited from another country for a sport, please note that Sacramento is the capitol of California but it’s 8 hours driving from Hollywood and nothing like the movies. Many of my tennis teammates came from Eastern Europe and said they had no clue, they thought they were coming to do college at the beach and hang out with celebrities. Pros +: Air Force ROTC Program Women’s D1 Tennis Very pretty campus in Fall People were genuinely nice The saaaandwich and soda man Acceptance rate was very high then Gave me the degree and future I needed Cons -: Was very much commuter school Most friends you make here won’t go very far Dating was limited (for straight women) most boys I met were just players that lied No one outside of NorCal has heard of CSUS Parking was an issue Full time in state tuition for Spring 2008 was $1863. My last semester in Spring 2011 was $2500 for part time. Can’t imagine what it is now. Professors who write their own notes/book then sell it for their course for $200+ Some of the courses I had to take were not very useful I didn’t feel safe after or before dark on campus and nearby apartment parking lots that friends lived in. I used to run in the dark to/from my car.April B

One of the many, proud students who used to go to Sac State; graduated in the fall of 2019 (and luckily before Covid-19 told everyone to screw off). I was trying to get into Graphic Design but I had no money. So I opted instead for a BA in Studio Art Methods (New Media Focus). I was taking Multicultural Studies on the side. Everything is expensive, some of the faculty have personality issues, the few Alt-Right people kept "yelling theater in a crowded fire house;" the school's transit system doesn't go far enough, and some of the buildings had issues with rain water coming through the roofs. But I have no regrets. The area's beautiful, we're able to get help with food and studies, the learning of other cultures was "colorful" in a positive way, and most of the faculty are pretty awesome. It's not UC Davis, but I highly recommend taking your chances here.Hectotane

I went here on my Field Trip in my Sophomore year and I got to say I was speechless. I was amazed by the structure of the buildings, there was bunch of scholars/students of this University and it was so big that I didn't know what kind of reaction I made. It was fun walking around and seeing so many people. It feel kind of weird because I don't like to see so many people in one place. The cafeteria is pretty small. It crowded most of the time because I can't believe they even have fast food restaurants inside a cafeteria and also Starbucks. It feel like I can reach the top of the ceiling over my head if I was tall enough and be able to touch it. I enjoyed it and it was fantastic to experience a University college.Cheesy 24

I had the best experience getting my degree at the Jessup online school. I love being able to work at my own pace to complete my degree. Instead of B.S. degree taking the 4 full years, I was able to complete in 3 years!Stephanie Lindsey

I was very impressed with my experience. Getting my bachelors degree was one of my goals I never thought I could achieve. Now, I have it and they helped me find a job immediately after!Liam Wilson

It's a very nice facility for students. There is also a library just a walk away for studying and, of course, for checking out books. The campus itself is very clean (thank you janitors!). Seating for students is a little bit roomier; the desks feel like they have slightly more leg room than the ones at the main campus. Overall, great location! Definitely consider taking a class here of you're nearby or don't mind driving here.Cesar Plasencia

This outreach center is a fantastic addition to the city of West Sacramento. I've had very pleasant experiences with the Los Rios Community College District. I've learned a great deal of knowledge and experience from the numerous courses I've had the pleasure of attending.Joseph A. Muniz (JAMunizCA)

It is quite an alternative and great SCC extension. Students (including myself) tend to focus a lot better during class sessions here, more peaceful, clean and not as hectic unlike main campus. Great facility.J V

Emily and Emelina are two of the most conniving women ever. Liars that use mean girl tactics to get other women fired. Emelina is even a self proclaimed “mean girl.” Work here at your own risk.Sunshine Jewel

Regina is amazing!! She works so hard to ensure students get a good experience and helps everyone to the best of her ability.Paige Astoria

(Translated by Google) I called and called to sign up and they never answered I attended twice and nobody attended really badly (Original) Llame y llame para inscribirme y nunca contestaron asisti dos veces y nadie atendio pesimo la verdadMisael Dominguez

This posting shows that it's in Sacramento, California. However, when going to their website it turns out that they are in the State of New York. When I went to see if they have a location here. The only ones they have are all in the state of New York. So, this needs to be corrected.OnTheRoadHome MyHomeInHeaven
