It was like my attorney and I were not even in the courtroom. She simply ignored everything as well as countless mathematical errors. How can someone which seems so biased have a job like this determining peoples lives,

[redacted] concerning when DCF commits crimes such as perjury covering up child abuse. She ignores laws and goes off on opinionated tangents. She needs to be removed immediately. She is putting children in danger.

Where do I start. We help people with their divorce paperwork and anytime we get this judge we roll our eyes and warn our client to be patient. Cases under her take double the time, sometimes triple, the time it takes if we get other judges assigned. We feel sorry for those working in the courthouse that have to take the heat for her. We pray she finds better pastures...soon

What a truly awful Judge. She sent my grandson to live in one of the most dangerous cities in the country instead of allowing him to stay with his father. The mother was living in poverty ($36,000 per year for a family of four in Mass.) in a one bedroom apt. My grandson had to share a room with his little sister, whereas he had his own room at his fathers house in Cape Coral. His mother and step father slept on the couch. If my grandson had to go to the restroom in the middle of the night he would have been walking through their bedroom. We had been told she was biased but it was still stunning how this so called "Judge" blatantly ignored the terrible situation my grandson was in. Fortunately, it did not take long for the mother and her new husband to realize they were living in poverty and to move down here. So in our case it worked out in spite of this despicable human being who clearly cares nothing about the best interest of our children. My heart hurts for any father that has to go in front of this horrible being. I wish I could rate her a 0.

What a mess. Known as "Skanky Liz" around the courthouse due to her appearance and court room demeanor. Shouldn't be on the bench. Maybe the bench in front of the court house. Lack of basic knowledge. I could say more but it gwts worse.

Out of chambers comes this rough older than middle aged woman attitude WOW. power trip.. she will allow all kinds of banter from plaintiff nothing from the other side. Had to rule on behalf of the defendants, she didn't like that. An attempt to shut you down after the ruling are threats from her. Appearance first and foremost wow, like a old mess

This judge is lazy and generally biased in her ruling. Her docket schedule is stretched out months due to her lack of productivity. Then, he rulings take another six months to write. She is extremely biased in her rulings against men in general. In the face of clearly contemptuous behavior and abusive behavior she bends over to give females favor. This is even true when the father was the primary caregiver and the female was hands off and emotionally distant. Its disgusting. She asks for the input of experts, then if they don't favor the female she completely ignores their input. She wastes litigants money on needless lawyer fees as she in no way attempts to quickly resolve matters and often forces litigation to be reheard and appealed due to her faulty judgments. She has no place on the bench.

Very biased, seems unable to follow facts of the case, does not seem to understand the letter of the law or does not care and just hope plaintiffs will not appeal. Numerous lawyers descibed her as lazy and inefficient.
