[Redacted by Ed.] She does not follow the rule of law. If your case gets assigned to this judge challenge her immediately as she is not a neutral administrator of the law!

She was a friend of my exes lawyer Katherine Ceisla. Ceisla arranged it so she would be the judge for the initiation of a custody case while corrupt Vega was on vacation. A complete immoral circus of
a corrupt guardian ad litum, Dr Boho , Family therapist, and Dr Palin a social worker, All apparently a team for years. Gamrath willingly disregarded multiple orders of protection (the ex was repeatedly arrested for violation and convicted of domestic violence) and would only allow him to speak. I was told that Howard Rosenburg was the guardian ad litem, disallowing me to speak up on behalf of my daughters, and threatened me with jailtime. I was treated unethically and immorally. Just when I thought the worst was over, in came misogynistic Judge Vega, whose contempt for women was not even hidden. Every time I tried to speak, he would scream at me and threaten to hold me in contempt, repeatedly asking the bailiffs if I should be thrown in jail. The guardian ad litem lied in court, claiming he was speaking with the children when he was not. The mediator physically and emotionally abused all three kids. The other therapist, Michelle White, shared confidential information concerning the middle child with the mediator. I protested this to Vega and the guardian ad litem, and was told to shut up. Cook County Court is a circuit and these people need to be removed.

The court mediator later called me drunk on two occasions, berating me, and left a drunken voice mail to my eldest daughter's physician. When I told the court, I was again told to shut up and held in contempt.

Three innocent lives were fractured and continue to try to heal.

And now Vega is the head of Chicago's domestic violence division.
