Judge Pomrenze gave no attention to the facts of the case. She also displayed poor demeanor by actually yelling at me when I asked a question or tried to give an answer to her questions. She also violated my due process rights repeatedly and had no control over opposing counsel who repeatedly violated rule, law, and lied to Judge Pomrenze’s face. Judge Pomrenze was a complete disaster and the pepper of Clark County we’re seemingly better that she retired. [Redacted by Ed.]

Sandra Pomrenze is the worst judge ever. What she has done to my Vietnam Vet, Wayne Conte,is abhorable. He tried to prove he was not married to this Philippine lady and when her attorney, Michael Root would not find the Marriage Certificate with the Philippine National stamp on it, Judge Pomrenze said, "OK, let's just stipulate that they were married. For over 10 years, Mr. Conte has tried to prove they were never married. Judge Pomrenze also gave her $1,000 per month for 15 years. That is just unheard of. Sandra Pomrenze needs to have action taken against her for all the wrong she has done and this is not the only case!

I am now retired, but I graduated from a "First Tier" law school in 1978 and practiced litigation in Federal, state and bankruptcy court for 25 years. I went to watch Judge Pomrenze "in action" in my adult son's divorce case at several hearings. Judge Pomrenze is clearly the rudest judge I have ever seen in my 25 years of litigation experience. She is particularly nasty to non-lawyers like my son and ex-daughter-in-law. Every several years the big local newspaper, The Los Angeles Review Journal, surveys local attorneys practicing before a judge, to see what they think of her. In 2019 Judge Pomrenze was rated as "the Worst Judge in Las Vegas". A few years earlier she had been rated as the Third Worst Judge in Las Vegas, so its clear her temperament is getting worse. Yet she's been reelected because voters don't read the newspaper or remember her name. From a practical point of view it seems like there are only 2 ways to get rid of her in a divorce case: If you are the plaintiff (party filing the divorce case) and you are assigned to Department P where Judge Pomrenze is in charge, dismiss your case and refile it, hoping that under a new case number you'll get a different judge. If for some reason you are stuck with Judge Pomrenze in a divorce case, the smartest thing to do is NOTHING. Do not ask her for anything, and do not try to advance the case towards completion. Once a year or so, Judge Pomrenze sends her "old" divorce cases to a retired judge for settlement. Chances are you'll get a much more rational judge and you'll be done with her. Sadly, if Judge Pomrenze has control over a child custody case, you need a really good lawyer, not a newby, because only the very experienced Family Law attorneys in Las Vegas have figured out how to deal with her.

The fact that this woman has been present since day one of my TPO’s against my abusive ex who is also my child’s father (defendant) and here it is 4 years later and she’s still siding with him despite the clear, consistent, organized and overwhelming evidence I have against him is mind boggling. She never addresses the series of issues I’ve noted in my motions and exhibits, has the worst temperament I’ve ever heard of, complete lack of professionalism and continues to put my child and I in harm because she won’t hold the defendant accountable for ANYTHING. He’s never had to submit any argument against me (reply to my several motions)...therefore he shouldn’t even be allowed to show up let alone speak. She continues to give him more of an opportunity to speak than I. This year it’s gotten worse and had to file a criminal case against the defendant and although I had that documentation of the multitude of harassment behaviors before during and after shared custody and mediation she decided to still have us go to mediation. My child’s father has abusive issues, substance abuse issues, has stalled and cyber stalked my husband and I and our family members, boldly have left more voicemails, emails and texts than I can even count OVER THE YEARS to which she doesn’t even give him a slap on the hand. I can’t blame him for her cavalier behavior in court. Apparently, in her eyes it seems it’s my fault I left the abusive relationship (damn right) and despite me trying to be civil and having to constantly resort to police escorts the majority of my five year olds life and console him when his father tells him he’s the boogeyman not to mention repeatedly shows his son his weapons, claims he’s a bad guy, ripped toys in front of him, grabbed me and kicked cars during exchanges, snatched him from me and my car, threatens to set my apartment on fire, that he will blow my husbands head off, AND been on our property multiple times after police escorted him off, harassing our son at his school, and making the bizarre and bogus police reports tells me and that I need to be better as a ?black mother? and that “I” should be ashamed of myself and treat HIM better. GTFOH! We are well passed negotiations and mediation and she knows it. She totally discounted the fact that my son is doing therapy due to his fathers torrent and reckless behavior.

She constantly interrupts me to make her own judgments and points and never asks me about my household but the defendant gets the few court minutes she allows to speak and cry crocodile tears to her like he’s some wounded deer. The whole cycle of having to have her as a judge over the years is a travesty, a hardship and the fact that she has control over people’s actions is a real farce. Her own biases are practically tattooed on her forehead. She does not care what happens to anyone. It’s a shame so many people have suffered under her rule. I have always been one to color in the lines when it came to seeking justice and I’ve never had any situations in my life to need litigation thank goodness. To have her as a first line in my case is discouraging and I see why so many people take the road of consequence by going at things on their own. She is one of one. Nothing stops here. She’s a piece of work. January can’t come soon enough. #justiceforfamilycourtplantiffs

After waiting a year for this hearing, it was over in 8 minutes. I am still in shock that someone with this lack of temperament, professionalism or expertise with the law ignoring the details and evidence in this case is sitting on the bench. I had no idea she had this kind of record until I Googled her name to see all the other people whose lives have been thrown into limbo by her.

After waiting 15 minutes for her to appear, it was apparent Pomrenze didn’t read any the details of fraud and misrepresentation whatsoever in our complaint as she interrupted my attorney, my answers while literally making faces and chastising us as we spoke. Get her out of there at all costs. How is she still serving with this kind of record of malfeasance and unprofessional behavior? She is a MENACE.

I was not happpy that she would not let me voice my position in my case for reconsideration that was passed to her from Dept. M. Not sure why but at first I was happy as getting a New Judge but then found that she would not let me attend via phone that was approved. And then to make matters worse, did not even look at the evidence of a Deed which showed that it was not community property and still gave a large portion of it to ex. Then state that funds from my Pension and or Money Purchase account will be withdrawal from the account as ordered as stated in the Amended Decree. This could not be done even if I agreed to it also reason for the hearing because the QDRO was not signed by the previous Judge after it was approved by the Plan Admin a few year back because the defense stopped and told Judge he did not agree to it. Why send for the plan to approve it then? Now the defense is able to type up a NEW QDRO when one was already approved and waiting for Judge to sign? Is she really a Judge that knows the Nevada Laws or any Laws?

We just left this judge's is courtroom today. We've been there several times over the years. All of the comments left here are exactly our experience with this judge. She doesn't let the lawyer speak on behalf of the client. She gets on her soapbox and likes to talk. She doesn't review the evidence that's been submitted regarding the Motions that have been filed. She seems to only want to hear herself talk and prove how wise she is. She seems to dislike men. She seems to be more harsh with the fathers. She is a terrible judge and has no business dealing with family law.

I have had to see this judge for awhile now and she has her moments when she is good and then others when no one can understand why she still has a seat. She is the worst after my last hearing. She does not review any black and white evidence that has been placed in front of her weeks prior to the hearing. She wants to put her own twist on things and make her decision. Will not let you talk or even allow your attorney to talk. She wants to use " I have heard this many times from other cases" In my opinion she does not have children's best interest in place. Ask yourself why would you allow children to have unsupervised visits with a parent, after that parent has made death threats on their own children, wants to come in and out of the children's lives and yet still wants to give that parent more chances to hurt the children more than they already are. When do the children get to heal, never when she is the ruler. She needs to be fired and never placed back on a seat. She can not assume the children are hurting if one parent is absent sometimes that is what's best for some of these children. Then she likes to blame both parents of not loving their children because they can't co-parent together even when one parent has done everything to try even sent black and white to show the proof. She is doing damage to these kids. Please don't take these comments lightly. Its time to save the children!!!

My daughter is autistic and claims she is an advocate for autism and disregards the fact in court. She blames me for living across the country on the the reason why her rulings are just..personally I think she should be fired and to never be involved with have all of her cases reviewed and pardoned.

This family court judge is an awful woman. First words out of her mouth was I think you're being a bit SILLY asking for a divorce at your age. She made it sound like one day after 14 yrs married I woke up & decided to divorce my husband. He flat out lied about his financials. The verbal & mental abuse alone was grounds for divorce. She said there's no abuse, there was and I had proof of abuse from paperwork that I had from shadetree shelter. I went to the class UNLV holds for DIY divorce since my husband has total control of $$ in our marriage. All the money goes into HIS BANK ACCOUNT which is password protected & I cannot have any access or knowledge of what he's doing financially. At the time I found out he was $22,000 in debt that I had no knowledge of and makes me sick that I had no other choice to drop the case and wait 6 months and refile. Hopefully I won't get her next time. My lawyer was horrible I acknowledge that fact but it was like she was a scared little girl in front of this judge. If this is an elected judge I will do everything I can to get this awful, condescending, judge off the bench. She reminds me of the female version of Donald Trump.

This EVIL judge, in my opinion, terminated my parental rights. Based solely on my Ex's statements. My Ex is beautiful and started dating an old, fat ugly millionaire she used to know. He hired marshal willick, who wrote Nevada family law. As soon as the dis-honorable judge Pomrenze saw who her attorney was she granted a TPR!!! Termination of parental rights. Her verdict stated in her conclusion I had only given token visits over the years, even though I wanted to see my twins every chance I could get, she never did any investigation! How can she come to the conclusion I gave up on my kids without investigating it, or my friend family, or the kids themselves? She saw the million dollar attorney and granted the TPR, and ruined my life, and my twin girls who I would die for' lives forever. Pomrenze MUST GO!!!! She is very money biased!!!!! Get her off the bench, so no one else will suffer like I am, and can never get back the years I lost raising my kids.

Judge has no compassion for the children involved.she claims she does but doesn't listen to them ever, doesn't listen to the numerous court ordered mediators either. She doesn't read any facts police reports, or court papers she's previously ordered. Why is she still on the bench!!
I am the mother and have to pay child support, we both have joint legal and physical custody of kids, with a 50/50 visitation schedule. Explain that. It's been like this for 6 years with a domestic violence background on him.

Yes she is incompetent. Gender is irrelevant when she makes her rulings. Evidence is also irrelevant. Her sole concern is her own personal agenda. Period.

Just went to her court room with my ex wife for child support hearing. I'm the father and yes. I got Fxxked just like all the fathers in here. I love my two kids like no tomorrow but now I don't even want to deal with that part of my life. The judge looks at me like a criminal when she was looking at my tax returns. My lawyer said she looks at all the fathers like criminals too, she always makes sure she gives the moms a lot of child support so they can stay home and don't even have to try to lift a finger to get a job. My ex wife quit her job on purpose when she know she is going to get $2000 a month from me. She even told me" why work? You are going to pay more than I make and I don't want to work" This judge order me to pay for her lawyer fees because " she is broke " and I have to pay for my kids daycare, sports, Heath insurance , and don't know why the hell I owe $6000 back child support just because my ex is not financial capable !!! She quit her job and lives with a 69 years old. My lawyer was trying to show her the texts and the judge just ignored it and said she doesn't care and told us to get out. Now I know why so many deadbeat dads out there. Not because they want to be. Is the system created deadbeat dads and men don't even have a chance to get a ahead in life again because you will only owe more and more and see your kids less and less because you are too busy paying child support and can't even have money to take your kids out!

The judge hates men and favors all the single moms. I have like 5 male clients got nailed by her in court without doing anything wrong but 3 female clients got everything they wanted in her court room even I think they didn't deserve to award those requests. What people are talking about in here is true. I think people have emotions but the judges should hear the stories from both side before they make ANY decisions. Judge Sandy is only making the parenting thing became a battle between two parents, it's really not fair to the kids. I hope she will realize how unreasonable she acts sometimes.

I would say just try to avoid this judge if you are a male. Change judge at the first place or just prepare to be screwed in her court room. If you are women. Make sure you cry very hard. Good luck. God bless you all.

This judge is very black and white where the law is concerned. Best interests of the children? Not even a consideration from what I witnessed. This judge handed over 2 children to a drug addict and convicted felon numerous times over who abandons her children often because of a gambling addiction. She has since gave the mother the power to alienate the children from the only parent they know their father. We have traveled from another state to fight a loosing battle because this judge is a lesBian who favors women! I have never seen family law be handled so carelessly. This judge (and perhaps all nevada family court judges) should come to California and sit in on family law cases to see how they act when they truly care about the children. You don't even need an attorney to approach our judges because our judges CARE about the welfare of the children. It's just sad.

She has refused any and (ALL) evidence, and what I was told multiple times by my attorney was "she had made her choice from day one". She almost always sides with the mother, NO MATTER WHAT! Unless they are total meth, coke, crack prostitutes with multiple incarnation's, you lose for being born a male. EVERYONE, PLEASE LISTEN! My Ex cheated on me with a millionaire, old by the way. Filed a TPR, said I abandoned my wonderful children, who I would dIE for, and mrs pomrenze made up her mind on the FIRST hearing, cause of the expensive attorney she had (my ex) she was going to grant it!!! I don't do drugs, been to college, teach music, but because I don't fit (HER) expectations as a father, never heard my evidence btw, went on to murder me, well.. Murder my role as the truly loving, caring, giving, do ANYTHING for my children father I really am. I just pray she does not get the chance to do this to someone else. God bless you all

This judge's propensity to ignore repeated perjury (and even most times to reward those who perjure themselves) leaves little cause to show respect for the courts. Far too often, testimony turns into character assassination through unsubstantiated innuendo, perpetrated by both clients and their attorneys alike, which is then knee-jerk reacted upon by the judge's following of improper procedure with no regard for even a modicum of proof being presented or required. As a result, the person(s) being slandered are not only victimized by opposing council, but also victimized repeatedly by the courts when they are subjected to extra fees, wasted time, and travel expenses in order to obtain proof of their innocence. Meanwhile, the perjurers get a free pass and delays in adjudication, which again continue to penalize the victims as the attorney's fees continue to mount. As the saying goes: "It's so obvious that even Ray Charles can see it." That leaves just two questions: firstly, if a blind man can see it, why can't the judge see that the court is being manipulated? Justice should be no more blind than Ray Charles. Secondly, what level of intelligence is being displayed by the judge of this courtroom? It's high time that the courts show respect for the taxpayers who pay their salaries by recognizing the manipulators for what they are, and start penalizing them for misleading the judge, outright lying, or perjuring themselves -- felonies all.

This judge does not seem to read the motions, or even care to hear the facts from either side. She literally told the other attorney, "You're boring me." Then when my lawyer tried to speak, she said, "Are you going to bore me too?" I was attacked, and my child witnessed the whole ordeal, and has not wanted 50/50 visitation, but this judge has awarded just that, even though the D.A.'s office had a trial date set! This judge continues to deny multiple requests for child interviews, even though my child is "of age" to do so. This judge cannot possibly have the best interest of the child in mind when she doesn't even care to hear what the child has to say!

What a disgrace and an embarrassment! Family courts were supposed to be an improvement over the old system. Taxpayers and families are being ripped off. Why this judge was not disbarred long ago is indeed disturbing. Her actions in any other venue would be considered criminal. She needs to be prosecuted for criminal negligence and wanton endangerment -- but that would never repair the damage incurred by this monstrosity. If she is an example of what is typical in our judicial system, the Revolution was a waste of time, money, energy and human life. Vigilante justice is saintly compared to what is happening in this judge's Nevada courtroom.

I was the full time father of two wonderful boys. At the initial divorce Pomeranze decided to go to NRS 125.480 to justify her decision to give the mother primary custody. 125.480 states, "Best interests of child;preferences;presumptions when court determines parent or person seeking custody is perpetrator of domestic violence or has committed act of abduction against child or any other child." None of this appllies to me in any way, shape, or form! I have been denied my right to be a father because Pomeranze applied the wrong NRS to justify her egregious decision.

Sandra Pomeranze is horrible. How do you say you want a child interviewed and then say you dont care what the child has to say and give the mother the ok to take the child because she primary and JUST (I mean just like the 3 days before court) got married and she feels that is enough reason??? Why waste people time in court. We need a judge that will read motions and if the child is interviewed listent to what the child has to say. I am a female and what I saw makes me wonder why they place bitter woman in family court if they can not be fair to both men and woman. I was just watching this case not even my issue but from what I heard I was shocked of how she rules. I hope they do take her off the bench.

Sandra Pomeranze and the word "judge" should not be used in the same sentence. She rules without evidence and apparently cannot comprehend the statutes. If she doesn't like you regardless of whether it is warranted or not, don't ever expect to get treated fairly in the future. She is a disgrace to the bench. She should be assigned to parking tickets, if anything at all. Words alone cannot describe how inept she is in the application of the law. Fellow Las Vegans, be concerned.

This Judge is belligerent and self righteous. She obviously does not read the motions before her. She contradicts her own decisions from one hearing to the next. God help you if you present her with a transcript… she goes nuts when presented with the facts. She has waffled her position more than once on a moderately straight forward dispute and as a result, we’ve had four hearings and no decisions. No wonder the RJ found her to be the lowest rated Family Court judge currently serving.

She is a fair judge in my humble opinion. I am the other litigant in one of the before mentioned comments. The 24 yr old from Texas. I am the father in this case and the comment beforehand is obviously one sided. There is alot of detail missing. With that said, judge pomeranze has put my feet to the coals as well. She is stern but fair bottomline. We have only been in front of her twice, but there will be no crap in her court from either party or attorney. One had better be prepaired and follow all procedures.

One sided, She should not be on the bench, I am a single father of two little girls and I would do and doing everything I can for my girls, she does not look out for best interests of the children, she laughed in my face and took their mothers side, she has issues of her own and needs to definitely be evaluated, we need a judge that takes the responsibility of doing what is right , not some crazed lady with her own issues, we need a good judge with real concerns for the family and what is right ,

She ordered a 24 yr old with a one year old infant to return from family in Texas, to leave her full-time job, childcare, and home,and to return the child to Clark County in 7 days so that the boyfriend living with his mother (a traveling nurse - they're from Texas as well)can have visitation rights the 1st & 3rd weekend of each month. She has no car, and now no income, and no where to live. This judge has no good judgement at all seeing she did not even hear the entire case, and started using the "F" word in court when she got angry ( a habitual pattern from my research). She made a judgement that was NOT in the best interest of the child, only that of jurisdiction and of her own interests.
She should be disbarded.

This woman should not be ruling in any family issues. She is rude,and one sided . She allowed a known offender of domestic violence not only to my kids but to me as well to grant his custody and I didn't do a thing wrong. He is bipolar with a temperament that is truly freighting. He does not work and just by me saying that I was going to call his father, he wet is pants he was so scared. She needs to be thrown off the bench and arrested. How many more children is this judicial system screwing up because of her cold heart and absolutely no compassion. I pray for any and all of you whoever has to face that obnoxious monster in court. and to condone allowing a man to keep 2 kids hostage for 9 months is just inhumane and the only way i was allowed to see them is by his supervision. I had all reports. Domestic violence, character witnesses and even a lawyer. And she didn't care. At lease not about the well being of my precious boys who might I add, I am not allowed to see again because he doesn't want to let me. I have to find out their well being by their guidance counselor at school. Its heart breaking. Someone , If you can, please help me. I am heartbroken without my twins.

This Judge will not read the motions before her. She will not let people have their say regarding whats going on. She is very Pro Mother especially being a single mother herself she gives mothers chance after chance while will nail fathers to the wall. I really find it hard to beleive she is impartial.
