Comments

Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: FL9791
Rating:2.5

Comments:
Like far too many judges, Judge Polo does not give a damn about the law or the facts.

Unless you are favored by her, you will not get any semblance of due process.

Litigant

Comment #: FL6783
Rating:1.0

Comments:
I will say after being before Judge Polo that she definitely does not care about the litigants in her courtroom nor the children involved in her cases. She has absolutely no understanding of coercive control and the fact that is abuse or what a narcissist or sociopath acts like because she has been fooled every time that we have been in court.

Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: FL6303
Rating:2.8

Comments:
This Judge has a very poor judicial temperament and needs to be reminded who she serves and that people, including clients and judges, are also imperfect.
