Very poor judgement [Redacted by Ed.] He dissolved my guardianship illegally and out of his jurisdiction. And refused to reinstate it. He shut my attorneys up when they told him so in court. [Redacted] The CPS worker lied to him to get my kids taken away from me then he dissolved my guardianship without a hearing or any notice for no reason at all because allegations were 100% false and I have proof of it.

Judge Kirby gave away Guardianship of my twin daughters to my fiance's adoptive parents based on Hearsay. Got word from our attorney that he allows hearsay in his courtroom and does not even let people show evidence refuting allegations. My fiances parents did not tell us we were signing away guardianship either - they said it was a part of the deal we made with DHS. We tried to show Judge Kirby our documents and explain our situation of how we were struggling financially and was able to get up on our feet, as well as the agreements made with DHS. There were false allegations made against me and my fiance for over a year and DHS told us if we gave Power Of Attorney to my fiances parents we would get them back due to our struggle. All allegations were unsubstantiated but that was not enough for Kirby. I had just given birth to our son whom we have custody of and I had to stay at home obviously. Judge Kirby told me I had to be married to be a stay at home mom. Not only is he sexist, but he is rude and does not let others speak. He made me feel like the worst mother in the world and would not let me prove this was all a scam and my fiances parents are screwing us over. Judge Kirby also does not seem to care if people are low income either; you have to pay for court ordered services out of pocket. He is not specific on what is approved or not approved and is never happy even if you attempt to do what is right. I hope he gets removed for abuse of power.

Judge Kirby tries to play doctor. It does not matter how many doctors you bring into his court room he is not happy. I would bet he has little man syndrome. I understand that he may feel that he is doing the right thing, but I am sure that he does not understand medications or how they work. He does seem that he likes to play favoritism to females on a lot of cases. It also seems that he wants men to jump through so many hoops to prove that they are a good dad. I can see why so many people give up trying because of him and how he belittles people. People change and do the right thing do not stop them from doing it and help them when they are willing to step help and be that parent. Judge Kirby I think is still a judge because no one is running against him. If he would get off his HIGH horse than maybe he would understand that one day his loved ones maybe on the other side of that bench.

I went before Judge Richard Kirby on my son’s guardianship case he’s very bias he took hear say into evidence without any evidence other then hear say no video no pics no tape recorder absolutely no evidence and when he did make some kind of decision he cut my visitations back to two hrs of supervised visits a wk until I turned in a hair follicle and I did that was 3 wks old and all it showed was prescribed meds and it wasn’t good enough and he ordered me to go take a 2nd hair follicle that come back with the same prescribed meds and he raised my visits to 10 hrs a week with my kids while he allows my ex every other weekend and she’s a convicted sex offender and anything my ex wants with our son she normally gets but has yet to give me more visitations

This judge was so rude and disrespectful to us. We went in for a guardianship signed everything and he filed out paperwork for DHS to pick this child up. He called a deputy in the court room and detained us without cause and called DHS. This Judge made us feel like the worst people in the world. He may be a good Judge but he is very Bias and disrespectful to the average person. I will never again try to do the right thing in Oklahoma County and take care of a child if I ever have to go before this man.

He is bias and refuses to allow defendants to speak or defend themselves. He loses his temper and bangs his fist on bench while yelling at defendants.

Yesterday, I observed Judge Kirby demonstrating thoughtfulness, kindness, patience, and respect to all attorneys and litigants (some Pro Se) who came before him. His level of patience with Pro Se litigants was exceptional and well beyond the call of duty.
