Ficeto has zero business being a judge. She has zero business being a lawyer. She abuses her power and litigants. She is about as lazy as they come. She does not know the law as she should. She is the number one worst rated judge in CT. That should say it all. Be respectful but knock her back on her heels. It's the only way to deal with a bully.

File a complaint with the judiciary committee.

File a motion to recuse.

Nothing about her is honorable - period.

Email me for transcripts and recordings.

Ficeto is a deplorable incompetent judge and needs to be removed!! She is belittling and biased especially to pro se litigants. Can not site law or where things are in practice book or sc rulings as they dont exist and yet judges make ruling with no law or facts. She is in it for the $$ who ever has the most $. She will happily take your children away without any facts or finding and keep it going as shes getting paid. Denies ADA accommodations, cant cite law when questioned where it is in any statue ( with a computer in front of her ..no practice book in the courtroom of law??) Looses her temper. Denies due process, filing of motions, avoids calendering hearings/motions. Get her out of court.

Judge Ficeto seems to be predisposed to support the underdog which to me should not be acceptable. My divorce was during COVID and only attorneys met with the judge. This judge ignored my attorney and presented as quick to close out the divorce. My ex- husband became a freeloader during the marriage, we never had children during the marriage and I still had to pay him. I resent this disregard to see both sides in its entirety.

My daughter's father has a criminal record pending and recent he has risk of injury towards our daughter for choking choking me in front of her while he was driving reckless on the highway DCF has substantiated physical and emotional neglect and she ruled that My daughter's father visitations have been reinstated and that I have to send my minor child to his house unsupervised and my daughter is crying not to go having nightmares of her father hurting me but yet she still wants him to be in her life after witnessing a horrific scene she is bias she does not care about the children she is irrational and unprofessional I believe sometimes in her head she thinks she may be on a TV show the way that she acts Waterbury Court system needs immediate help and an internal investigation on her and what she's doing to the parents that are just trying to protect their children and make sure that they are okay

This person should not be a judge she's horrible if you don't have an attorney and tge other side does she only listens to the other side. She does not care about anyone's children she's doing this job for a paycheck and she pretty much stated that during one of my family court hearings. She said you can come back 100 times you'll get the same results you keep me employed I don't have a problem with that. She's incompetent,she's rude she doesn't listen to your concerns at all. I don't know how she's in the family court she has no experience to be in this position. We all need to do something to have her removed. Our children's safety is at stake and in her hands which she could care less about because according to her we keep her employed. Get rid of this self centered biased so called judge who should be disbarred and lose her license.

Pro-Woman. In my divorce I strongly felt she was pro lawyer, pro woman. Her judgement in the case ignored criminal wrongdoing by my X as proven. But she did exactly what I was told she would do, by many lawyers, simply take two affidavits (regardless of validity) and average them. The details of that conduct would stun you.

My partner had a 10 minute "hearing" before Ficeto, during which time, she adamantly refused to take into account what he was saying, cut him off at every turn, denied him the right to present evidence in his own defense. However, she happily allowed my partner's ex wife's attorney to speak to complete and total falsehoods, with ZERO evidence and proof, allowed him to present evidence and testimony...which was hearsay coming from a person who literally physically assaulted me, and threatened my partner with violence.
This judge has absolutely no business being a judge. She was clearly partial to a woman, who also happened to have an attorney. We did not have counsel. To further the partiality and bias this judge very clearly showed and exhibited, she stated that nobody was present to testify as to why she should remove the TRO against me, which was placed at a previous hearing due to no evidence, by a temporary judge, based on his ex wife testifying under oath with lies and deceit, knowing that she was 100% lying about everything she said (because we told her the truth).
Upon my partner advising the judge that the person in question regarding the TRO was actually present in the courtroom, the judge just said "case dismissed."

She refused to allow any evidence that would prove the ex wife was full of crap, she refused testimony, and she literally demonized me due to 2 inconsequential traffic violations for which I received nothing but a slap on the hand.

Unfortunately or justice needs to be revamped!

We need people who have experience with family matters. Not someone off the streets!
How can someone Judge any kind of situation not having any experience or knowledge of the matter.

She is obviously not a friend to men. She doesn’t let you speak . She only listens to the mothers side.
Female judges should not be allowed to just side with females because they are female!

Fathers have rights too!

We need a new system for family relations!

I agree she is not a good judge in a divorce. I was a male SRP. She stated I didn't have to present evidence, a waste of time, just supported my testimony (her financial documents) then finds my testimony not credible; numerous false facts stated in Decision, non corrected. Gave my X my retirement account after I had given her my income during the 20 years marriage, but left me with my pre-marriage family property. A precise 50-50 split of the stated affidavit assets - precisely what many lawyers told me she would do. Completely ignoring 'her' affidavit was provably and provenly false.

Judge Ficeto is not a fair judge. She uses her power instead of being open minded to the law. Every case has two sides to a story.
She should not become so close to a case that she feels unable to have another judge replace her during vacation. This shows me, she is afraid to allow another judge hear the cases.
I would Rate this judge a 2



I honestly don’t know how these type of people get elected.
