50938	Criminal Defense Lawyer	No Rating	She is a legend in her own mind. She is not mindful of people in the courtroom whether it is lawyers, litigants, and courtroom personnel. She is notoriously late and inconsiderate of lawyers who have to be in other court houses ...Read More	08/05/2017 12:09 AM	Contact reviewer

33354	Criminal Defense Lawyer	No Rating	I recently read that the Judicial Performance Commission submitted that this person (I will not use the word Judge because she is not worthy of that title) needed to undergo a judicial improvement plan. I think it goes beyond tha...Read More	03/09/2015 04:34 PM	Contact reviewer
28867	Criminal Defense Lawyer	No Rating	She is an absolutely horrible judge. She has no business serving as a judge and it is a disgraceful site to see her wearing a black robe. She has no regard for anyone other than herself. She is constantly late for court and doe...Read More	08/19/2014 01:14 PM	Contact reviewer
25179	Other	View Details	This judge is the worst: she is unfair, and doesn't work by the book. She has sentences with no background at all for the maximum of jail time -- no probation, no boot camp. She works based on how she feels that day, and if she do...Read More	02/09/2014 08:20 AM	Contact reviewer
