Comments:
This is a Judge who studies matters before her very well and we saw that to be true on December 6, 2021 in Court when the Hon'ble Judge judged favorably in the matter of an ongoing Bullying and harassment and issued a CHRO against the bully. Friend, Providence is shining on you with favor knowing that a Just Judge is hearing your case before her. The Bully tried acting up in court and The Judge told him he cannot act the way he acts and needs to behave. ThankYou Judge Schwarz.

This is a judge that might as well be a CPS employee - you have absolutely no chance whatsoever of a fair trial with this one. She is arrogant, even beyond standard judge levels. I suspect she has never once NOT found jurisdiction over a child. Avoid her like the plague.
