Comments:
Bias pro man, dismissed exhibits (Police files, pictures, etc) and made calculations with a minor amount other than what was proven per the own parties, in order to benefit the other side. Mismanaged my case among others I personally witnessed. However, coincidentally all the rulings were to make the women prove themselves while to the man, this judge takes their allegations as fact with no evidence to support it. Despicable and definitely he’s part of the problem in this broken system. Someone that worked with criminals in regular basis shouldn’t be handling family matters.

He's a piece of [redacted]. Rude disrespectful, no compassion, seems to hate life. Makes me want to vomit having to say Honorable in front of his name, because there is NOTHING honorable about that person. EXTREMELY rude, yet expects you to kiss his ass.

Horrible bench demeanor. Appears and acts very angry in all proceedings. Favors prosecution and is very inflexible. No or little compassion for others. Never smiles and is very unapproachable. Completely different when he was an attorney.

What you see is what you get with Judge Clay. If you appear before him a couple of times, you can likely predict how he'll respond to the matter you have before him. He always seems to be in a cranky mood though - I just wish he'd crack a smile, or a joke, sometimes? I think he has a well-rounded understanding of the law; if he even hesitates, he will find out the answer. I appreciate his determination on making accurate rulings.
