This is an amazing Judge. She knows how to run a courtroom and a jury trial effectively and efficiently. Everyone who has seen her or been in front of her knows this.

Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: FL8114
Rating:1.1

Interpreting the law is the main weakness this judge has, as we have seen with the Trayvon Martin case, and a ton of other cases. She is very obnoxious and assuming when it comes to family matters. It does matter who your lawyer is and if she is friends or friendly with that lawyer, we have seen this plenty of times. A judge who lies right into the face of the 5th DCA when applying for the appellate court judge position, will lie in open court too. When watching her interview with the JQC, we wonder why and how she is still a judge when she lied about being pulled over for speeding on her way to the 5th DCA interview. The 5th DCA already knew about her being pulled over, but she lied to them and hid this from them. However, we have to trust that she is not biased and judgmental in open court without the facts, without a trial, and without due process????? Wow, 18th Circuit Court, we have seen it all from you and politics has no room in family court, but it rules everything at the 18th.

Rude to attorneys and doesn't allow for due process. It's her process, not due process. Refuses to hear testimony and evidence as she clearly has her mind made up when she enters the court room. She should not be a judge at all, much less in family court where childrens' safety is at stake.

Avoid. Thinks knows law - doesn't. Wrongly interprets case law to fit her "opinions."
Awful temperament - you never know what you'll get, runs hot and cold. Plays favorites. Oh, she's so much smarter than you....just ask her!

She is condescending, immature, intimidating and biased. She stereotypes people and manipulates the facts to arrive at very subjective opinions. She lacks grace and wisdom. She's too young to be on the bench and needs serious lessons in bedside manner.

One of the best judges in the circuit. Knows her cases before she enters the court room. Extremely fair in most of her rulings.

Clearly does not like her job. Appears to be always stressed out, and just rules in the middle of a hearing before parties complete their arguments.
