Comment #: CA55245
Rating:1.0

Comments:
Stay away from this judge. She is brand new to the bench and is actively ruining families. She is strongly aligned with women. She refuses strong evidence and eliminates witnesses supporting the opposition. She is more focused on procedure and perceived disrespect than uniting families. She will ruin your life. She does NOT belong in family court.

Comments:
Terrible. She let her emotions and feelings, felt like she had her mind made up before anything was discussed. It was obvious she favors women. I thought that in family court, the judge is required to do what is best for the child(ren) - not the case with her. BEWARE.

Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: CA54134
Rating:4.9

Comments:
One of the worst Family Court judges I have seen over a long career. It is apparent she performed well in Criminal Court, however is not a parent and I believe not married. Should have no business presiding in FC where children should be first priority. Inclined to rule leniently for parental “underdog” despite child safety risk. Seeming primary concern is for due process/appeal minimization. Rules emotionally/highly reactive to perceived disrespect. PSA: Keep child safety within custody disputes far away from her court- God forbid a tragedy happens on her watch.
