Anything but fair and honorable! Did NOT go by everything sent to him by my lawyer. It was all in front of him. I waited 11/2 years to go in front of him for him to hear my case. All he did was tell me everything about me and what he thought I was doing. Again, obviously he did not look at all the information in front of him. He is very intimidating. Actually allowed me to be curse at in his court room and said NOTHING! Somehow my strong attorney suddenly lost her voice in front of him. I wanted to see the accounting of my mother’s estate. With all the intimidating I felt had I taken this to courts again he would not have looked at anything in front of him and felt I would have lost so I settled. I had to settle not seeing the accounting. As far as I am aware this is not legal. So much for going in front of a judge to get the accounting of my mother’s estate. In my opinion he must have been good friends with my brothers attorney. Wish there was a department of some sort to prosecute a judge. I believe he is far from an honorable judge. I’ll give him one star because he ruled the first time over zoom befor we were in his presence fairly. I do not know if my brother followed his orders properly as I did NOT get to see the accounting.

He catered to the demand of opposing party. It felt like a setup, or a pocket deal. Didn't take in consideration, that we had an agreement and that he is allowing an 8 y.o. child to travel 80 miles back and forth to/from school, just because her mommy wants to live with her boyfriend. No justice there. The rule was not taking in consideration my child, just her mother, that keeps ripping her child into pieces. Biased and incapable to empathy.

Judge Charles Burton is biased against defendants and is definitely pro-prosecution. He lacks compassion and can be hot-tempered. But Judge Burton has a lot of people convinced that he is a "fair" judge.
