30862OtherNo RatingJudge Kest is rude and comes off as unprofessional. She seems to be very biased, making rulings that benefit the father rather than taking into consideration the best interest of the child. She even went as far as to say that the ...Read More11/07/2014 09:28 PMContact reviewer
30278OtherNo RatingIn my case, she showed bias against men by ruling in favor of my ex wife on every single issue. There was no exception-money, property, child support and documentation to support the decisions.10/24/2014 09:24 AMContact reviewer
27742LitigantNo RatingI find this judge does not rule for the best interest of the child and the reason is when facts are submitted for review the final ruling should be based on the facts and not her personal recommendation.06/30/2014 12:24 PMContact reviewer

She does not seem to be informed of the law and, if she is, seems to not care what it says. Makes rulings with no legal basis or authority. Seems to be following the path other judges have paved without thinking on her own. Lov...Read More03/05/2008 02:31 PMContact reviewer

It is hard to tell if this judge is totally ignorant or just bad-hearted. She has no concept of the operation of a criminal courtoom and is a poor example of a jurist. She seems to be taking her cue from some of the old-time Kissi...Read More02/04/2008 12:44 AMContact reviewer
