| 105645 | Other | No Rating | Yadira has outright told me that "I dont believe father's should be in the life of children" This is crushing when facing parental alienation and destructive to the child. Yadira should not be in her position. | 06/16/2022 01:27 AM | Contact reviewer |

| 76152 | Other | No Rating | Yadira Pedraza bases her rulings on emotions. Like someone said in the previous comments, there's no knowing what will set her off.

| 37192 | Litigant | No Rating | I represented myself Pro Se. There were a few issues which were to be decided at the hearing. First of all, law goes out the window.

| 13983 | Other | No Rating | She has a double standard. When I wasn't represented by a lawyer, she was barely civil, but when my *male* lawyer was there she's "all nice".
