This is the worst judge in the county every seen. He’s over emotional and not objective. He does not follow the law and destroy families and children’s life. He dismisses evidence and not not follow procedure or rules of evidence. This judge put children in danger daily and does not care about the consequences of his actions. It’s a shame our justice system allows [Redacted] judges to rule on children’s life’s. Judges should be held accountable for their decisions that traumatize children forever. [Redacted by Ed.] It’s extremely prejudicial to have a judge who is not only biased and unfair but does it openly without any accountability.

This Judge breaks judicial ethics and speaks about cases outside the parties presence. He also give impermissible deference to the CPS agency as experts and relies on them to tell HIM the law. It creates the appearance of unfairness and bias in his courtroom. Many families have lost their children in his courtroom due to his failure to follow state laws and procedures, additionally children are at high risk due his inability to assess family law situations.
