This judge has shown contempt for fathers' rights, does not follow the law and seems to be trying to right some wrong from her past by punishing fathers with her unfair, unjust, prejudicial and illegal rulings. She should be remov...Read More09/26/2025 03:56 PMContact reviewer

Judge Bell is the worst family law judge in Orange County history, and likely the State of California. She rules with an iron fist and a tin foil mind. She always thinks she is the smartest person in the room even though that is o...Read More06/13/2023 05:38 PMContact reviewer
