Immunity should be removed for this Magistrate. It took a long time to have her removed from a case in which she was so biased that she ignored critical situations that caused great harm to a child. The first hearing with a new judge and the child was saved from additional years of abuse that could have caused the child to lose it's life. She turns red faced, screams at litigants in her court room, and her rulings should have been considered criminal.

extremely unethical - does not follow rule of law, nor trial rules

extremely bias - woman hater

actions of this judge seem actually criminal..
this judge should lose her seat!!

ABsolutely ZERO consideration for the child(ren). She literally could care less.

It was VERY clear she had an unethical relationship with other side's attorney. Together they "made up" the rules as they went along....it was absolutely HORRIFIC what this judge did....and who is going to check her?....clearly there are no checks and balances and this judge is VERY clear about that...I have NEVER heard a good word about her, and trust me I have asked!! Every single attorney I ask about this judge RECOILS!! There is something very very very very wrong here.....VERY wrong...

I agree with all of the previous comments, very unfair & rude! It was obvious whose side was on even before she heard anything unless maybe she had dinner with his attorney the night before! He had an attorney and I didn't (he left me with nothing and used our credit card for his attorney), therefore I was pretty much not allowed to say anything and everytime I spoke she rudely interrupted me letting me know it was incorrect form of a question even rolling her eyes at me at times. She said at the end (rudely) that she would take it under advisement and the next day I received a letter giving me less than 24 hours to vacate my home because I was a "threat" to my 6'4", 250 lb husband and neighbors (I am 5'2" 115 lbs) not to mention the fact that he owns ten guns if not more! Her decision was soley based on one side of the story and she acted like she enjoyed humiliating me several times. I since have an attorney and let him know I did not want to ever see her again! Poor excuse for our judicial system!

This judge is obviously very rigid. She appears to be lacking in common sense and has no ideal of what's in the best interest of the children. My son was brutally murdered before his ex girlfriend would allow him to establish paternity and she refuses to allow visitation without establishing paternity. This judge doesn't know that there are cases that have been filed in juvenile court where when a relationship has been established it is in the best interest of the children to continue that relationship. I am going to the supreme court with this one.

She ordered no ph calls to my 3 children. When it was nonexistent already. She's hateful and insulting. She was effectively fooled by the opposition. Note: 20 years later the 3 children have turned their back on their Mother and her Husbamd now 5 yrs and counting. Others judges shallow and fooled. Robert Overton. Richard Culver. K. Mark Lloyd. EVERYONE was fooled, by the exs husband whom controlled eveyones thinking. Whom terrorized, deprived, exploited even molested my kids.

Heavy handed, partial and biased, with a horrible judicial temperament. Thank goodness, I don't ever have to appear in front of her court again.
