I agree, he will never grant an Order of protection against a woman! Even if she’s abusive! He gives women advice on what to say and do, and ignores any evidence presented against them. He handles women with the softest of kid gloves, even when it’s proven that they’re lying to his face.

Minimal intellectual capacity and minimal ability to understand when an order of protection is appropriate. I sough an order of protection after ex beat up his child in front of my child and terrorized her. Judge Doody said "if you can't prove that he hit and injured YOUR child I cannot hear an Order of Protection." He did not see a problem with a young child fleeing from a house barefoot screaming for help with an abusive man chasing her. It was. So scary a third party called 911. Judgy Doody believes that domestic violence means body strikes and bruises and barring that he has no issues sending a child victim back into the home of an abuser. Seriously VAWA needs to evaluate this guy's rulings! INEPTITUDE equates to EVIL when a child is harmed

Mr Doody has preconceived judgements. Will never side with a father. Gives the mother information during the hearing so she is aware of what to say and what not to say. It’s very unfortunate we have such an incompetent commissioner here in maricopa county. My only comparison to him is our current commander and chief Joe Biden. He constantly makes clerical mistakes, loses his train of thought. He is not fit for his current role. It’s just very sad that whenever a father sees he’s been assigned to comm doody there is no chance whatsoever. Arizona needs young, intelligent, people with reason.

Disappointed in the biases and unsureness of commissioner. He let my ex submit exhibits that were not available or filed properly or with copies. Seemed to be giving mother legal advice and subtle hints on what to say and do.

Judge was confused about exhibits and filing, debated with his staff. He seemed to forget the rules and who was who in the hearing. I have no DV with my ex, but he was too bias/old fashioned with his stereotypes and explanation of his "rules" to make a fair assessment, called a DO in the room to force my ok with his tactics under duress.
