She is a prime example of incompetence on the bench and a blazing power hungry ego. Her inability to control her bias or lack of any judicial demeanor or proper temperament or respect for counsel and parties makes her a top candid...Read More11/17/2019 01:28 PMContact reviewer

This is a really excellent judge because: No nonsense. She is not afraid to rule or make a decision. She controls her courtroom. She knows how to apply the law. She was fair but decisive based on the evidence.09/25/2019 05:44 PMContact reviewer

It's no secret that "unhappy customers" are more likely to leave reviews, but my recent experience before Judge Lyons is completely at odds with many of the reviews below. In a very complex matter, J. Lyons had read all of the (v...Read More10/22/2018 08:45 PMContact reviewer

Consistent with the comments below this judge does not bother reading any papers. She will find any technicality to avoid ruling on substantive issues. She is utterly incompetent on the bench and has quite a record of reversals on...Read More02/27/2018 11:45 PMContact reviewer

Fails to understand the most basic legal concepts that are easily found in most statute books and even on forms. Poor staff, rude, not helpful. Court avoids certain rulings and makes orders contrary to the law, only to need to b...Read More07/04/2017 12:59 PMContact reviewer

Insulted my client and myself. She told my client that she would end up in prison, to be sure. Inappropriate and not at all something she was prompted by something else that she should resort to that. My client has been out of ...Read More06/07/2017 12:05 AMContact reviewer

It doesn't get any worse than Lyons. Egotistical, territorial, close-minded, biased, tyrannical, vindictive, and power hungry. These types of individuals should be politicians rather than judges. She has this pretense of a no n...Read More03/22/2017 11:52 PMContact reviewer

Many judges are somewhat gutless in making dispositive rulings on demurrers or MSJs and would rather punt to a jury so any ultimate bad decisions can be blamed on them. Damn the expenses to the parties. This is no Judge Lyons. She...Read More01/07/2017 12:38 PMContact reviewer

What an absolute failure on the bench! What waste of tax dollars! This judge either doesn't read the papers, doesn't comprehend the papers, rubber stamps her clerk's preliminary rulings, or some combination thereof. She is an u...Read More08/23/2016 11:06 PMContact reviewer

This Judge is afraid to rule on much of anything and will simply try to deny all motions -- probably because she does not understand them. She is not particularly bright, but her defining characteristic is her almost bizarre refu...Read More07/08/2016 09:53 AMContact reviewer

FANTASTIC judge - if you're looking for a judge who doesn't bother reading the papers, predetermines her desired outcome, and then makes the ruling accordingly. She issued a tentative three days before our reply was even DUE and ...Read More05/24/2016 02:44 AMContact reviewer
