If you are fighting for Temporary Guardianship to protect your grandchildren from their drug addict parents. Run from this Judge he will ask no questions and say go get your kids! He is condescending, arrogant and narcissistic. I’m shocked at how he speaks to people. Why was he elected to this position? I concur with other comments below.

Comments:
Judge Cope gets very easily distracted by ordinary aspects of remote appearances. If there are any minor background noises or interruptions, instead of remaining poised and proceeding with the hearing, he becomes very upset and unable to keep focus. This is unusual behavior that I have not seen from any other judges. It results in a lot of wasted time and what appear to be emotionally guided judgments from Judge Cope. He also misses things people say because he gets so flustered. The "new normal" of remote appearances is here to stay, and if Judge Cope has trouble with remote appearances he needs to resign or develop the skills necessary to participate effectively.

This judge should be called dishonorable not honorable. He is the worst judge I have ever seen. He is prejudice and only listens to one side. He coerces the individual with whom is siding into saying what he wants them to say. Then he asks the other party if they have anything to say but when they start to speak he basically tells them to shut up and says "I don't want to hear it". Aweful judge. If you can avoid him presiding over your case, at all cost, find another judge!!!
