This judge definitely has bias against men and fails to review all applicable evidence and exhibits. Orders of protection were granted in a case that was nothing but crocodile tears and a ploy to emotions rather than facts. I was very disappointed to see her spend 10 minutes after the judgement offering her personal opinion to a grown man and reprimanding him like a child which in my opinion was not her place to do so. This was a very biased case and she came across as a man hater and very protective of women.

While Judge Mcoy was fair and honest, she did have a tendency to fall for crocodile tears and give the other party the benefit of the doubt. She also changed an order that gave the non custodial parent , who has zero visitation the right to claim the kids on taxes even when he doesn't cover half of their monthly bills. Making the other parent then owe the government the years the other parent claims the children. I will say she did take her time and have genuine concern and understanding. I will take into account that COVID made our hearing via zoom and I feel that can interfere with how a hearing should happen.
