50066	Other	No Rating	I was in Judge Nelson's courtroom as a visitor twice (was there to show my family that I was very upset with them for bringing up my grandson the wrong way - no discipline) and at first, be- cause of her low voice and talking very...Read More	06/11/2017 11:04 AM	Contact reviewer
28312	Other	No Rating	I have spent many hours watching Judge Nelson at work. Most of those hours were spent gritting my teeth and pining for a time and place where the justice system was truly fair and impartial. On top of her obvious pro-prosecution d...Read More	07/24/2014 04:44 PM	Contact reviewer
26960	Other	No Rating	She is about to get a dose of reality. The public is fed up with the preferential treatment of government officials and the self serving attitude of elected office holders. Nelson is not above the law and the wrist slap administer...Read More	05/14/2014 09:48 AM	Contact reviewer
26255	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	I have always found Judge Nelson to be well-prepared, and to be familiar with the pleadings or motions before the Court and the relevant law. I think that she is very dedicated, and realizes the effects that her rulings have on th...Read More	03/30/2014 06:41 PM	Contact reviewer

18172	Other	No Rating	I think that this judge has degraded and tainted the court system with her arrogant and unethical behavour ralated to her DUI conviction. For a judge who refusing to cooperate with law enforcement when requested and who was obviou...Read More	10/22/2012 03:17 PM	Contact reviewer
13556	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	I feel sympathy for her current situation but feel it is probably time for her to do the right thing and step down. As a foreclosure judge she is out of her league and embarrassingly one sided. If you are a homeowner, you have n...Read More	02/16/2012 05:13 PM	Contact reviewer
12386	Other	No Rating	This judge has set a poor example for other jurist to follow. Should she really sit in judgement of people who are arrested for what she has done? She refused the sobriety test. She was belligerent with law enforcement. She did no...Read More	11/28/2011 09:43 AM	Contact reviewer
12056	Other	No Rating	Judge Nelson has emotional issues whether it simple self esteem or more insidious problems. It's apparent watching her in the courtroom performing duties as a judge. Her behavior ranges from gratuitous to flat out arrogance. She...Read More	10/13/2011 05:07 AM	Contact reviewer
2020	Court Staff	View Details	Judge Nelson is a great judge. She makes informed decisions; she listens to both sides and does not favor the state. She takes into consideration all the elements in the case to come to a conclusion; she knows how to apply the law...Read More	05/07/2008 08:11 AM	Contact reviewer
1875	Other	View Details	She is a very fair person and listens to both sides. She gives everyone a chance to tell her what happened and the reason that they are in front of her. She is always in court. If you are a defendant consider yourself lucky to be ...Read More	03/28/2008 08:28 PM	Contact reviewer
1849	Criminal Defense Lawyer	View Details	Judge Nelson still believes that she is employed by the State Attorney. Based upon her rulings, she has never parted with the State Attorney's Office. If you are a defendant, pray.	03/24/2008 02:39 PM	Contact reviewer
1514	Litigant	No Rating	Judge Nelson is an absolute pleasure to practice in front of. She treats people with respect and all that I have talked to enjoy the experience of practicing in her courtroom. She makes informed, knowledgeable, and well-reasoned...Read More	01/18/2008 01:52 PM	Contact reviewer
