Judge Almquest is just getting worse with each passing day. This Man has not a clue of what it takes to be a good Judge,I have witnessed Him sleeping on the bench Only to wake up and make a rushed ruling without knowing the facts.He should be removed.

Judge Jeff Almquist,has his mind made up before trial.Hes lazy dose not do the required work.if he dose not like you he makes the rules.he prefer everything kept off the record.I truly believe this Judge will be removed from the bench,not because of his actions towards people but because of the sheer amount of cases he has had overturned.he was not a very good lawyer and hes a even worse Judge.
