Definitely does not like women. I am not a fan of him at all and he did not consider all aspects of our family law case

He is a biased, prejudiced, unconstitutional,asinine, rude, ill tempered judge. He falsely claimed jurisdiction over my parent's property rights issues properly filed in Duval County and screamed at my Mother during said proceedings. He asked my parents if they had anything to add. My elderly Mother stated, without any anger whatsoever, "I don't see how someone could steal from and elderly person." The jackass the yelled "One more word out of you and I will throw you out of this hearing!" She also signed a notorized affidavit to this fact, that will be included in a JQC Complaint! He is unfit to preside on the bench!

Very fair minded and open minded. He heard both sides of the argument before making what I can say was a fair decision in accordance with the law.

I’ve had three experiences with him and he is a horrible judge and I believe he is sexist he dislikes women! He handles things all wrong!! I really hope we get a chance to vote him out!! I am absolutely outraged about his Decision and I think it was very unprofessional!! The proof is there and I still loose! Witnesses there and I still loose!! That is why I believe he favors men. On three different accounts! My opponent changed his story every time and Collins didn’t even take that in consideration!! It was a total opposite of what the witnesses said! Terrible horrible judge unfair and unjust! Rip Baby my 9 yr old horse that was killed in the hands of Danny Barton by his proven negligence!! ( the judge believes otherwise with no common sense)

It was shocking to hear a judge yell, "Ethics doesn't matter!". Since when? I thought all lawyers and judges had to go through ethics training. Ethics is the basis for the judicial system. Without it, we have chaos, corruption, and an undermining of the entire legal and judicial system.

Honorable Tim Collins is the best example - in my experience - of a completely fair, unbiased judge. His compassion for human beings, not just defendants makes him the ideal Drug Court judge. If only he could be replicated.
