Over twenty complaints have been filed about Judge Waterman-Marshall since April, 2024. She is a vicious [Redacted by Ed.] who denies pro se litigants due process, separates parents from their children [Redacted by Ed.]. She needs to be disbarred.

Her honor is as good as they come. A class act who maintains a neutral temperament no matter what transpires in her court room. Her ruling was just and fair. She pays attention, reads the papers, and is an empathic individual. God bless.
