Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: 21331
Rating:1.5
Comments:
This is the worst judge that I have ever been before. She is predisposed and biased, based upon her own personal likes or dislikes. She is unpredictable and goes to extreme lengths not to do any work -- she passes it on to counsel instead. She refuses to make decisions based on law, and contradicts her own orders. She is a complete horror.

OVERLY PARTIAL TOWARDS PROBATION OFFICE. WILL MAKE CONCLUSIONS AGAINST DEFENDANTS BEFORE REVIEWING EXHIBITS. IS PARTIAL TO FACTS BEING PLACED ON THE RECORD THAT ARE UNTRUE.

A consummate professional who was always right on the law and made evidence rulings in a quick manner in the two cases I tried before her.

An arrogant and self-important nit picker, better suited for being a school marm. Somehow a lifetime appointment has clearly gone to her head

This judge is one of the worst I have ever seen.... She is a pure politician who pretends to act like a neutral judge.
