| 129534 | Civil Litigation - Private | No Rating | Beware: Judges Fannin (misspelled as Fanin), Haight, and Hardie all retired soon after a recall effort. One earlier report indicated the recall initiative gathered sufficient signatures but it mysteriously seemed to fail to ap...Read More | 11/12/2024 12:46 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 116282 | Litigant | No Rating | This woman should be voted out of office...now. She is a danger to our society. There is nothing redeeming about her skill set. It does not exist. | 02/19/2023 06:13 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 102273 | Litigant | No Rating | When I initially met Judge Fannin I was hopeful. She seemed level-headed and soft spoken. But, OMG did that change at the next appearance. I've been before Fannin several times, and while I'm no psychologist, I have to admit she s...Read More | 01/20/2022 01:07 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 65275 | Litigant | No Rating | This judge has not enforced the judgement nor sanctions in this case. She has thwarted our legal attempt at garnishment and allows the defendants to give the middle finger to the entire judicial process. | 02/15/2019 12:56 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 61149 | Litigant | No Rating | This judge took a stand against an Appellate Court decision that reversed my case and she still stood by the misinformed Judge Treat and called me a "liar". What amazing nerve! | 10/31/2018 02:41 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 59279 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | This judge is being recalled. Thank heaven and earth. This may make my job as counsel a bit easier.

| 59260 | Litigant | No Rating | She got that job because she is the daughter of a judge! And not because of her competency. | 09/02/2018 02:44 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 58865 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Thrilled to hear of the recall on little Judge Jill. This is great news for the community. Jill has no regard for the public. She makes decisions based on dollars. She has harmed many. Her destruction runs deep. | 08/19/2018 11:07 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 58863 | Other | No Rating | She did a fair job in my case, no issues. | 08/19/2018 09:54 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 56308 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | I'm shocked she is a judge | 05/24/2018 09:20 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 56306 | Other | No Rating | How is a judge like this allowed in the court system. I am also a victim of Fannin. She has zero integrity and I have no idea what her rulings are based on, her mood maybe? She is completely unfair and unlawful. I lost everything ...Read More | 05/24/2018 09:10 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 46902 | Litigant | No Rating | Sloppy, arrogant, disinterested in reading filings or surveying case facts. Seems to crack under pressure and operate from an emotional base.

| 44981 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | I must concur with others on this site that Fannin needs to be voted out. Such a travesty. The growing ocean of damaged children and families spurred by this woman is legion. Completely clueless yet lacks basic character. | 08/26/2016 03:20 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 44001 | Litigant | No Rating | Thrilled to see little Jill's rating down to 2.4. She has no business on the bench. Where is the oversight?

| 41519 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | I urge all victims of this judge's "rulings" to let others know so she can be retired rather than re-elected in the next voting cycle. How many families have been destroyed? How many children placed in the dysfunctional home over...Read More | 03/19/2016 06:11 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 38958 | Other | No Rating | She doesn't care she is incompetent. She doesn't care for the law, facts, evidence. She is what gives courts a black eye. Shameful if she gets re-elected. Let's work together to remove this fool before she injures more families ...Read More | 11/17/2015 11:33 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 38802 | Litigant | No Rating | I had the misfortune of having Judge Fannin preside over my child custody case. Judges like her are the reason the entire family court system is in its current state. She called my exhusband 's numerous arrests while drinking and ...Read More | 11/10/2015 08:46 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 38295 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | No Rating | Judge Jill, please call it quits and get lost. Please.....for the sake of humanity and all of the people that you have messed up with your rulings. Just say good bye. Try golf or knitting but stay out of the mediation forum. | 10/17/2015 03:00 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 36622 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | This judge was the worst judge in dealing with family matters. Her unfairness and only one sided was appauling. She did not put the children first! | 08/02/2015 11:02 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 36441 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | I have practiced law for 30 years. This is one of the worst judges I have seen - not actually the very worst, but close.

| 32996 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Had absolutely no business in Family court. She made frivolous decisions and, as stated by numerous people here, evidence be damned.

| 32551 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | It is unfortunate so many colleagues work to undo the damage this judge creates. Many litigants cannot afford going back to get remediation from Fannin's frivolous "decisions." Logic or knowledge of evidence is not her strong s...Read More | 01/25/2015 12:20 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 32403 | Other | No Rating | I was used to my old judge. She wasn't pro mom or pro dad and I really felt she listened and did what she thought was in the best intrest of my children but Fannin did exactly the opposite!! I am a stay at home mom, exhusband had ...Read More | 01/15/2015 09:42 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 32402 | Other | No Rating | She is rude, does not read the information given to her before making her decision. Her decision is made alreadu. She does not follow mediators recommendation. Wast of time. | 01/15/2015 09:32 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 31938 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | The good news is that Fannin is being pulled so future children and innocent litigants may actually be heard.

| 31624 | Other | No Rating | Fannin precided over a divorce and custody. She was uninformed. Gave more custody to someone who tried to score cocaine in wc clubs over the other parent who submitted willingly to drug tests all of which were negative. Favored dy...Read More | 12/12/2014 12:13 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 31251 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | This judge is being removed from the Family Law division. There have been too many complaints.

| 31027 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Sided with a known sociopathic liar whose only "evidence" was a single facebook picture of a sporting event!! Completely ignored the defendant's well-documented evidence that supported our rebuttal. Foolish woman is over her head. | 11/13/2014 11:30 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 30813 | Other | No Rating | I have witnessed the shattered lives from this court. Why order drug/alcohol tests but then ignore the negative results because it didn't fit your preconceived agenda???? Ridiculous. | 11/05/2014 11:28 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 30592 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Not the best draw. Evidence is dismissed. Facts do not matter. Suggesting someone oppose her in 2017. Obviously tired of her job but lives being destroyed in the interim. | 11/02/2014 11:58 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 29922 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | Shamful this woman has a degree from CAL. Guess she skipped Ethics 101. A friend knows her partner/spouse/hubby--whatever the latest euphemism. She complains a great deal about the workload/case monotony. This is reflected in he...Read More | 10/09/2014 12:34 AM | Contact reviewer |

| 29587 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | This judge has earned many of the negative comments herein. She shows favoritism towards some attorneys in spite of the evidence.

| 29538 | Litigant | No Rating | I looked at all the previous reviews of this judge. I concur with all of them. She has turned a simple divorce case into a 3 year nightmare.

| 29469 | Litigant | No Rating | Judge Fannin doesn't care about the children in these cases. Her goal is to do what is easy and move on without even considering the consequences of her actions. Her decisions were made before entering the court room and will not ...Read More | 09/16/2014 01:09 PM | Contact reviewer |

| 29109 | Other | No Rating | By easily being duped in prior court proceedings, Fannin inadvertently has opened the door for the empowered mother and her attorney to unilaterally decide grandparents, aunt/uncles/ cousins (relatives of the child's father) ma...Read More | 08/31/2014 10:58 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 28989 | Court Staff | No Rating | Seeing both sides of documents presented, I must concur that this "judge" does not care about facts.

| 28901 | Other | No Rating | I've had the unfortunate opportunity to be a plaintiff in Judge Fannin's court.She is a ridiculous example of a judge.

| 28733 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | The welfare of the child is the last concern of this judge. Refuses a simple 50/50 custody despite serious psychological gaps in the mother.

| 28034 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Has her mind made up before reading DETAILS of documents. Favors the mother even with drug issues over a tested and clean father. Easily duped by lies. Just wants to clear docket with little regard to evidence. | 07/12/2014 12:22 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 28024 | Other | No Rating | Requests drug testing at $200 ea to disprove false accusations of other party--- all results negative--ignores all results!

| 25164 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | She cares and does a credible job. She is very hardworking. | 02/07/2014 10:56 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 24889 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | Judge Fannin has a complicated calendar. Many litigants appear pro per; some of the represented litigants have a sense of entitlement, and are surprised when Judge Fannin educates them otherwise. She's on an even keel. | 01/14/2014 12:15 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 24788 | Other | No Rating | She conveys a limited skill-set, and has an egocentric demeanor. She ignores evidence, and is fairly incompetent. She should be re-assessed or re-assigned, based on her lack of ability to perform. | 01/05/2014 12:38 PM | Contact reviewer |
