In the beginning of the trial I viewed. He seemed very fair the first couple days. Then his actions and comments showed that he was siding with the state. And allowed the prosecution things that I dont believe gave the defendant a fair trial.

Repeatedly showed, threw out good evidence, ignored his own orders and findings. Gave custody to abuser. Told an abuser that he could falsify emails and winked at him. Sided against one party saying, "We know how single mothers are".

He is well known to be a biased, terrible judge acting with complete disregard for children's lives and then he was made a presiding judge of juvenile court. He has connections. The JPR acts like they don't receive a million complaints on him. The comments and actions I've witnessed from this guy are unbelievable.

I dont know about family court but Judge Ryan has been the judge on my sons criminal case and although his case is not over everything the Judge has decided has been fair. He has shown kindness and understanding. I am very pleased to have him as my sons Judge. My sons case is very serious and Judge Ryan has listened and has allowed my sons lawyer present facts. My son is facing 25 yrs and hes only 25 years old. For the very first time i feel optimistic and am relieved to know Judge Ryan is our judge.

Do not come on here and make comments. He reads these comments and it affects the outcome of your case. It cost me everything. I crossed him when he was in a bad mood he kept screaming at me to shut up he had me removed from the courtroom when I made valid points that he had made errors we were in a telephonic conference I was trying to ask him for a moment to put my hearing aids and and he hung up on me and found in my ex-wife's favor he had made a gigantic error on my original child support order. It took almost two years to get it fixed I was dodging watrants and jumping from job to job I kept writing letters but he ignored me. It totally ruined my life. And then when he fixed it finally he yelled at me for not following proper process procedure to fix his mistake.
This is most definitely not in the best interest of the child.
To bankrupt the father.
It destroys her home. Think about it I was running from warrants over a math error...
And then I was chastised for pointing it out to him that he had made a colossal error then when my ex-wife realized he hated me she took that and ran with it. Now I think about suicide every single day. Thanks judge Ryan.

He gave a man custody after finding him guilty of significant dv and multiple counts of child abuse and blamed it on the woman. He was very insulting toward the victim/ protective mother.

Judge Ryan is bias to men. He bullies them on the stand. His disreguard to people with a disability is mind blowing. He is one side, never listens to both sides. His only side is what his court minions tell him. Judge Ryan doesn't looks at the facts or evidence everything is based on heresy. This Judge needs to be removed ASAP or it will your children he takes from you next

Judge Ryan could simply care less that innocent children are being placed in the hands of a person with a long history of domestic violence. The law says significant domestic violence would prevent the other parent from having joint custody. 50/50 is simply not for a father who doesn't even care for a child. My child is returned to me sick every other visit, hair undone (horrible for a little girls self esteem). Scarring on her little bottom.....doctors say not definitive. But I know he over does it with spanking. Proof of dv doesn't seem to matter

In my case, the respondent was only afforded the opportunity to answer questions and not allowed to make a statement in their defense. The respondent was also not allowed to question the petitioner fully. As a result, his ruling was laced with false facts and distortions of the truth.
