There are good human beings who happy to be a Judge that try their hardest to render fair verdicts, then there are person who are narcissistic and just like to hear themselves speak without listening to an ounce of testimony before making the WRONG decision…the wrong decision that can put the lives of others at risk. I’ve been tormented by nut jobs who won’t leave me alone for many years, two perjured themselves badly in the written statements which I was fully prepared with evidence and witnesses to prove to be the bad guys, and this judge dismissed my case while allowing the bad guys to cut me off and speak, DID NOT EVEN ALLOW ME TO STATE MY TESTIMONY NOR SHOW MY CONCRETE EVIDENCE AND HEAR MY WITNESSES, and not only dismissed my case against these folks who have been terrorizing me for 15 years, but included ME in her little lecture about “everyone” stopping the nonsense. I went there asking that SHE help ME get these folks to STOP and leave ME alone, but she told me to stop also…stop exactly what(?), doing my best to evade conflict with these folks who won’t leave me alone, threatened my life, stole my money and possessions, and on a regular basis malign my character in public and file false legal claims against me? It’s like the Police, Prosecutors, and Judge are so stupid and refuse to properly investigate so much that they’re treating me, a chronic victim whose life is really in danger from my attackers, as though I am somehow contributory to all going on, and moreover, that I’m the actual aggressor. This Judge is a terrible human being…she doesn’t seek Justice nor even listen to evidence…she just likes to listen to herself speak and wave around her authority with arrogance. I’m very disappointed with this judge and the entire Howard County Staff for mistreating me as the victim in a situation where folks will NOT leave me alone, as though I’m the actual aggressor! It’s not okay when Police bully you, Prosecutors keep dismissing valid claims against tyrants who won’t leave you alone (even with victims and tons of strong evidence that is never, ever heard before they dismiss), and a Judge dismissing cases WITHOUT LISTENING TO TESTIMONY! This Judge is the worst and I’m deeply disappointed in her behavior as someone who is supposed to be on the bench to protect victims, but instead assists the attackers in harming their prey. Disgusting judge.

Judge Reese is a Great judge. She is fair and honest when it comes to the facts of the case. She listened to what everyone had to say and then actually took time out to read and go over all the documents. Then she addressed several people in the courtroom and acknowledged their situation. She gave caring and insightful advice which truly came from her heart. If your honest and truthful with Judge Reese then she will be honest with you. What more could you ask for.

Judge Reese was a pleasure if you don’t waste time and make solid legal arguments and know your rules of evidence.

Rude, obnoxious, uncivilized barbarian of a judge. Yells at people in court, does not allow them to talk, is very unrefined in her mannerisms and her speech. Don't know where she went to law school, but she's a disgrace to the institution she attended and to the legal profession as a whole! Plus sometimes, you don't even understand whether she speaking English or another language. She talks very fast, her speech is incoherent and incomprehensible!! She's awful, and needs to be removed!!!

Worst judge ever. Violates her oath to the Constitutions, compels testimony from people charged with crimes in violation of Art. 22 of the Maryland Constitution and the Fifth Amendment of the United States.

Had the pleasure of trying a motor tort case in front of her. I was VERY impressed by her attentiveness to both the case law and counsel's arguments in a pre-trial matter.

As soon as I began speaking, she began yelling at me and she repeatedly ridiculed me continually, and very sharply, as if I was a complete idiot, as I I had tried to explain. But it was SHE who misunderstood what I was saying. When I repeated it, she finally understood There was absolutely no reason for type of cruelty and mistreatment. Once she caught on, she never apologized. She became quieter but was still curt with me. I was the last person to be heard, and so it was just myself and an officer, so I wonder if she would have done that if more people were there to witness her tantrum. When I went to pay, after I saw the same officer who just looked at me with a sad, apologetic look, as he made eye contact with me. I had already been nervous enough inside to about the issue that led me to seek a protection order, without being traumatized by her out of nowhere berating of me. She was very abusive and not in control of herself. No one should have to worry about being treated that way. She is supposed to be a public servant. I rated her as a 2 only because she did grant me the protection order.

In order to get a protective order from this judge, there has to be a dead body first. She is knee deep in corruption and the old boys. As even the domestic violence center recognizes, and the days she presides is not one to go for a protective order. Hello, one in four women are abused by their partners, and the most number of women are killed by their violent abusive partners. Wake up to the statistics. Greed and power, nothing about justice and protecting the battered woman victims.

She wouldn't even give me a chance to defend myself. The plaintiff was blatantly lying in court. His evidence proved that he was guilty.

@MD2234: Have you thought of reaching out to one of the many women's advocacy groups in Howard County? Or directing the victim to do so? If you google Judge Mary Reese, you will see a group of moms who speak about the same concerns they have in regards to Judge Reese's ability to maintain "the letter of the law in her courtroom without bias," and which states that Judge Mary Reese is one of the legal "predators" who "puts fear into the remaining members of our local legal establishment" who are trying to maintain the integrity of the court. There are many more like Judge Reese in our system who are beginning to outnumber those in Howard County who try to uphold the standards of the law. Some resources that question Judge Reese as a fair judge are listed on Moms Fighting Howard County Court Corruption. (See also Peck vs. Peck, Irani vs. Irani, Bouma vs. Bouma, and Alms vs. Alms.) It sounds like you have witnessed yet another grievance to be filed.
Judge Reese has her hands in with other groups, such as a pro-life advocacy group, but the air of her courtroom shows her allegiance more to the politics of Howard County's elected officials, and sadly the state prosecutors have less to offer the judges listed along with Judge Reese than defense attorneys, who are often paid big bucks by their Howard County clientele.

This judge has made a severely inaccurate decision in a criminal case regarding domestic violence. Judge Reese was unable to base her findings on the testimony of the State's attorney's witness and victim, and she didn't use the police officer's testimony that the defendant admitted to physical violence that led to his arrest. Judge Reese instead implemented her own feelings about the witness, and made a comment that re-vicitimized the State's witness. It is very concerning that the judge's findings could allow the defendant access to his victim, and this time it could be a much more severe injury that she suffers. At that time, what will Judge Mary Reese say about the only victim she saw when finding the abuser not guilty, and stating that the abused woman was the one manipulating the child. Judge Reese may not believe that domestic violence is a crime, but when a violent ex-husband takes the next incident too far, what will she then believe is a crime? It is a sad reality that such a biased judge such as Judge Mary Reese is able to take the bench. Howard County, Maryland has much to be concerned about with their presiding judges. Who will be liable when this man harms his ex-wife again, Judge Reese?
