Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: CA14393
Rating:1.0

Comments:
She is a completely unethical judge. She should be evaluated closely by team of supreme Court. Bad listener and is a clear reflection of prejudice, favourtism and she is unable to execute fair judgements.

She don't really spend time in reviewing facts or listening, she just judged casually by her own guess.

Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: CA8211
Rating:3.1

Comments:
She is a former defense attorney. She handled a civil case as she was a defense attorney. She granted all of defense's MIL and denied all of plaintiff's MIL. She ruled that a treating Dr. cannot testify regarding medical bills. She excluded witnesses and several MRI, which taken one month before trial and 4 days before trial.
We appealed her rulings and the court of appeal overturn her decisions.
