Good Thing he retired, because he abused the rights of children. In my court case he sent me to Juvenile Hall for defending my mother, and favored the plaintiff just because he knew him personally. Because Of this Judge I was sent to Juvenile Hall and was Sexually abused because of him.... Good thing this demon retired that way he will not harm another child.

Judge Palmer seems like a quiet fellow. Not sure if he is well or not. He seems very frail. Now, his court room clerk is something else. A wild animal with a big loud noisy voice who eavesdrops on personal conversations. This "thing" definitely has a personality disorder and either leaves or gets on some strong meds.

Judge Palmer is a friendly, knowledgeable, and intelligent bench officer. The trial I put on in front of him was efficient and fair.
