Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: CA54295
Rating:2.8

Comments:
Arrogant. A provincial thinker. Quietly condescending. Holds herself in high regard, that is undeserved. Dismissive of prior judges rulings and findings. Small minded. Unable to see the larger picture. Should not be on the bench. And should especially not be teaching other judges about judicial demeanor. Should not be in any position of authority. Hopefully a DA or Public Defender challenges her appointment, and defeats her in the next election. It would be a great benefit to the San Diego judicial bench to have her removed as a sitting officer of the court.

If this judge is assigned to your case immediately request a change before it’s too late because you will regret it. She has no empathy and regularly yells and disrespects her litigants. She is obviously insecure and doesn’t even use common sense at times. She changes her mind on a whim and is inconsistent in her requests and rulings. She will tell you to do something and then at the next hearing change it and say that you misunderstood her. She loves to order minors counsel for kids when none is warranted and the minors counsel make recommendations to please her, not what’s in the best interest of the child. People have suffered greatly in her court. She is very abrasive and a downright bully and doesn’t even follow her own orders. Please stay away from this judge if you can. If not, may God have mercy on you.

This judge has been in Family Law as a commissioner in DCSS and then a judge in Family Law cases. She is regularly unprepared; she knows the law but will not follow it if she does not like it - and this includes non-discretionary matters. She ignores the law and does what she wants. She is very quick to take offense and projects deep insecurity resulting in punitive rulings. In Central SD FL cases, I highly recommend striking her.

Comments:
Judge Roberts is very cavalier in her handling of child custody cases. Seems only listen to half of what is said and makes rash comments, without any consideration as to how they can be interpreted.
