Litigant

Comments:
Threatens retaliation in open court if I ask for replacement counsel again, meanwhile the Public Pretender didn't gather a single piece of evidence nor deposition a single witness, and refused to prepare for trial in any way form or fashion. At final pretrial I'm told by the Pretender Tyler Williams that I either take the 2yr offer, or I'll go to trial and lose getting 10 years. Knowing that Maltz threatened retaliation if I requested affective counsel again and that there was no trial preparation or support, I submitted to the coercion and spent 2 years in prison for crimes I was innocent of. Maltz also fails to report corruption to the JQC and the BAR Association happening within the Saint Johns Courthouse. He is the overseer of the judges and happily keeps them safe from harm when they commit treason, murder, and kidnapping.

Smartest judge in St. Johns. If you are prepared you’ll be fine.. Unprepared lawyers will be called out. Very fair judge. Good demeanor. Be on time.

This judge does not know the meaning of fair and just. He is a polite, smooth talking tyrant.
