Hon. Michael Harris (Rutland) Stunningly inept. Hard to believe he's actually looking at the same case. Decisions reads more like he knew what he wanted to do, and is trying to construct a set of facts to justify an unreasonable conclusion. Unfortunately when he relies on misrepresentation of facts rather than law he can get away with it. He knows on appeal they aren't checking the facts. Litigant - (12/3/2022 12:41:30 PM)

Hon. Thomas Carlson (Grandisle) watched thomas carlson evade all commen sense and put a hardworking women out on the streets based off lies from an individual who lost custody of their child due to the(victum who was tossed out of their residence) their abuse of the child and the victum in this case working with dcf to help find the truth, childs mother lashes out and says she is afraid of the victim who is 1/3 of her size.............With judges like this on the bench, dont expect any kind of unbiased law being practiced.

Hon. Michael Harris (Rutland) Favors 50/50 visitation, but heavily favors the mother in custody. He turned all the facts on their heads to make sure it could still grant her custody in spite of frequent violations of court orders. He simply didn't hold her to account. I was warned that this judge knew what he was going to do before we ever set foot in the court room and it went exactly as predicted in spite of the evidence. He relied heavily on gender stereotypes to draw untenable conclusions unsupported by the facts because the gender bias overrules any rational viewing of the evidence presented.

Hon. Dennis Pearson (Lamoille) Dennis Pearson is symptomatic of a serious affective disorder. He will display vindictive and apoplectic behavior if aroused, and it's difficult to predict what will arouse him. Attorneys North of Montpelier start conversations with "oh, Pearson, was he in one of his moods?". He'll also disregard established law, give attorney fee awards to his friends and inflict sanctions without reference to procedure or law. He shouldn't be exposed to the public.
