Comments

Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: WA893
Rating:8.8

Comments:
Treats everybody with respect, even the most difficult pro se. Reads all her files, everyday before her docket. Handles the inherent arrogance and tendency of attorneys to try and bully other attorneys, pro se litigants and the Judge with disarming and respectful grace. Great, great Judge.

Judge Harthcock is an asset to our community. My family would not be safe today if it weren't for her ruling that protected us from harm from a physically abuser. We would not have the peace in our lives without her compassion and understanding. Judge Harthcock's bailiff and administrative assistant were kind and helpful throughout the entire process. Judge Harthcock was fair and impartial throughout. I don't know if she realizes what a significant positive effect she has on people's lives, and in our case, I might not even be alive today if it weren't for her ruling.
