My husband and I waited 6 months for our de novo appeal to be heard in Circuit Court. We appeared at court only to be told she had cancelled the hearing and simply decided to rule against us based on the District Court's decision without hearing the case. Is this even legal? Zero stars.

Judge Gill Bright my sister just told me she wrote you. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. We almost gave up. When she got home and told me all the people to call I didn’t know. Now we called Ms Mary at DSS and my baby sis is getting help. His bless you.

Thank you Judge Bright for listening to me. I wanted an emergency custody order. I didn’t get it but you took the time to explain why. I’ve been to so many people in the courthouse looking for help. Only help I got was when I came into your courtroom.

Incompetent, totally lacks basic legal knowledge. One of the worst judges I have ever been before in my 40 plus years of practice. She basically implied my client was a total liar for no reason. She did not know the law and did not understand what was said. Now I have to take an appeal and my poor client is going to have to pay me money she really cannot afford to appeal this case.

Judge Robin Gill Bright was rude and dismissive. I requested an emergency hearing regarding the safety of a minor and she didn't introduce herself or allow me to be heard and didn't deem the matter as an emergency though the child's whereabouts where unknown and without necessary medication. I'm not sure how long she has been hearing Family Court matters but she lack empathy and respect.

Judge Bright is simply not my cup of tea, and I can't imagine that she is anyone's. She is rude, disrespectful, condescending, and very short tempered.

She focuses on whatever she wants to focus on and does not give valid arguments any credence if they don't align with what she already has predetermined in her head. She also is lazy and I do not like her at all. Zero stars.

Doesn't know the law or follow the law. Shouldn't be on the foreclosure docket, because she can't follow the basic rules.

This judge thinks she is the smartest judge of them all. Talks down to people. Rules with anger. Hates. I mean hates non-black people. She’s a poster caricature of a token judge elevated without merit and just to get political points.

An extraordinarily unqualified judge. She's a toxic mix of laziness, miscomprehension, arrogance, unaccountability, and ill temper. Litigants deserve much better than this.

This judge apparently has no problems putting condoning UNFAIRLY putting people out of their homes.

she denied me a trial or hearing. bank of America forgave the balance of my loan due to predatory lending and Shellpoint Mortgage years later came staking claim; and without hearing the evidence, this judge issued an order for them to foreclose on my home of 22 years.
A home that i have taken people in and have a community food pantry.
Without any regard for justice.
i have fought as long as i could and am now being forced out of my home without even being HEARD! WHERE IS THE HONOR OR JUSTICE IN THAT?

i have heard what others have said and now have experienced 1st hand her reckless disregard for Due Process or Truth. Sin is a REPROACH TO ANY NATION. iAM ashamed of her.

Please do let her know her days are numbered as a justice!!! no threat to her life at all! GOD Gone handle her.
After being forced to get out of my home i have nothing but time now to make sure she never does this to another soul! EVERYONE has my word on this! She needs to go. she has no honor. i know iAM telling the truth and she has refused to hear it! that is an abomination!!! no justice no peace! her foolishness and disregard for TRUTH MUST CEASE! EVery stone now will be unturned! ya better get to shredding! you have been warned. start looking over your shoulders!

Hon. Judge Robin Dana Gill Bright I want to thank you for making me feel like an adult male human being yesterday morning at 10am doing my divorce proceeding. I had bad representation from my attorney throughout the whole process of my divorce. She treated me like a child and talk to me with an nasty unprofessional attitude. Yesterday in court you made me feel like I was worth something. My case was handle unfair and unprofessional. for one the payments I was giving is to high for me to afford. My attorney did not fight to have it affordable for me. This putting me at risk in being in contempt of court. I want to thank you for explaining every detail information I needed to know and understand. You are a great understanding Judge that respect the well being of others. Thank you!!!

Poor excuse for a judge. Prince George's County is one of thee most disapointing and unprofessional courts systems that exist.It makes sense that she's a judge here.

Judge Bright displays clear bias towards women, and completely disregards evidence that would hurt the female's case. Her rulings seem to have more of a personal sentiment than a professional one. Her behavior proved to be less than professional and lacks a necessary level of patience a judge should have. This is unfortunate because as citizens we are urged to do things the "proper" way and not take matters into our own hands. Judges like Robin Bright completely discourage any natural instinct one would have to do things the "proper" way.

Very rude and impatient. Very disrespectful to lawyers - yells and argues with attorneys inappropriately. Points can be made without the constant yelling. Her behavior was embarrassing. Appears biased toward attorneys who practice in PG County.

Robin Dana Gill Bright is a judge for the Seventh Circuit Court in Prince George's County in Maryland. This judge was bias and unfairly dismissed my case because the defendant's lawyer asked her too and they didn't have an expert to go against my case.

U[Redacted by Ed.] judge that pushes docket through the court without hearing both sides FAIRLY!! She also discrimated against the men in the courtroom, specifically telling the men that we have to tuck our shirts in or we will not have our case heard!! There were no signs posted outside of the courtroom stating that but that's what she wanted. There were women in the courtroom dressed in men like fashion (button down shirt and slacks) but she said nothing to them at all!! [Redacted]

Lacks basic knowledge of law other than moving criminal cases through the docket. No experience outside of being a paper pusher / former prosecutor. Was not known to be bright at all. Can we try some reverse discrimination in this predominantly black county. So tired of incompetent judges - who are mostly in PG County and this judge is without doubt one of them.
