The worst Judge that I have EVER stood in front of. I asked the moron one question and she flew off the edge (so to speak). I asked, "Is this a court of record?" She then went off, talking about, "You are not going to start asking me Sovereign Citizen questions. Yah, Yah, Yah! Blah, Blah, Blah! Now how do you plea? Trust me. She has NOOOOO idea the lawsuit that I have coming at her for even hearing this case.

Disgustingly rude and unfair. I went in front of her for a speeding ticket I wrongfully got and the cop showed no proof of me speeding. Ritter Hoff didn't listen to anything I said she automatically had more respect for the cop. Where's the justice in her courtroom??? Unprofessional! She also had everyone that came on time wait a hour for the cop to show up. Horrible judge.

Very unprofessional and rude. She had no consideration for citizens of her courtroom. She has the mindset that everyone in front of her is guilty. She doesn't want to hear nor care about there side of the story Very unfair. I don't understand why someone so miserable and hateful could keep a job like this. She's on a power trip.

She is not a fair judge. Her bailiff even expressed this. Whatever her mood is, especially being nasty, she is nasty to the defendants. Picking and choosing who she chastises in her court room. She needs to be thrown out on her tail.

Ritterhoff denied me my rights. Denied me the right to plea. Denied me the right to my private counsel. I had a blank piece of paper stuck between my fingers with no charges, i was almost dead. I asked if id even been arrested, (never bring in any trouble before) she told me i was guilty of something and sentenced me to a public defender who avoided my family for over 3 weeks. Special Needs at that. I just happen to be smart special needs, an educator amongst other things within my field.

Judge Sarah Ritteroff Williams is knowledgeable, experienced, fair and impartial, with loads of INTEGRITY. I stood with her in a Pod with a small group of Citizens years ago as a notorious Serial Killer heckled her from his cell. She was professional, steadfast, and did not grandstand the situation in any way. It was an unnerving moment, but she appeared calm and in control. Her integrity and experience showed through that day. She has only improved throughout the subsequent years. She needs to be returned to the Bench. Justice needs her!

She is a tough yet fair judge who does not just take plea deals to make her life easier. If you break the law you should have to pay. I love seeing these defense lawyers all complain about her I wonder why. We need more judges like her.
