Comments

Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: CT301
Rating:2.8

Comments:
Picks sides from the start, won't rule on objections, ignores evidence rules and generally fires from the hip. Unprofessional and does not even pretend to be impartial. Swayed by tears and histrionics. Cannot be swayed by rational argument or evidence.

Comments:
This judge needs a psych eval. Seriously. So do most of these family court. Judges. But she's a sicko- promotes domestic violence.

Comment #: CT79
Rating:1.0

Comments:
This judge does not believe that domestic violence is the fault of the proven batterer. She dismissed my diagnosis of PTSD from years of sustained abuse from my ex and instead maintained that *I* have a mental illness that makes me unfit to have custody. I had five independent evaluations; each concluded "No mental illness present" and diagnosed the psychological injury of PTSD. So now my kids are at risk of being abused by a known and proven abuser.

she is a great judge. She really listens to what I had to say and was right on it when the other party lied, she saw right through it. Very smart.
