Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: WA1548
Rating:9.8
Comments:
I have known Judge Rulli for fifteen years and I have never seen him behave inappropriately in the courtroom. He is always even tempered and his ethics are of the highest order. He is very knowledgeable in family law, having practiced family law before coming to the bench. I don't always like his decisions, but I always believe his decisions are the correct (that is, under the law) decisions. I have never seen him display any biases towards any particular person or group. I have enormous respect for Judge Rulli, based on my experience in his courtroom for the past fifteen years.

When my son said "Dad I want to live with you," Rulli turned us into felons. Close-minded, inept, destructive, impervious to reason, ignored wife's admitting she suffers stress related illnesse. Let jean Waller lie again as usual. Ignored Stankhe's favorable ruling, ignored report cards, police reports, medical reports and forced son against his will back in other house.
Ignored provocation at my house, I finally lost it. Puts trashed son back in my custody when it predictably fell apart within 7 months. Came after me for judicial intimidation -Judge Poyfair spoke in my defence but my attorney Steven Sowards covers up Rulli's incompetence to jury and insisted I not testify.

This court utterly trashed my kids and I over 8 years of hell in this inquisition, kangaroo court that is unnaccountable, does not enforce the law, and can come after anyone they want. The new America, folks. now, you see it everywhere. They are a disgrace as people and there's no one to turn for help.

I would agree with the previous comment. He is a gender-biased judge. If you are a male seeking custody or at least fair visitations with your child- forget it. This judge let our son be essentially kidnapped to another state, where we only see him 4 times-a- year. Since then, our son has now been molested by a member of his birth mother's family. Way to go, not-so-Honorable Judge Rulli.

This judge is lazy and gender-biased, and allowed multiple violations of orders without holding a woman in contempt.
