Judge Tunis has been wonderful! She's not a defense judge and she's not a state judge. She's down the line. She does the BEST jury selection of any judge I've been in front of in say 20 years. Watch her transition to a higher court.

Horrible judge!! She is unprofessional, rude, and very harsh on sentencing young adults. I was and still am extremely disappointed.

Judge Tunis has been a big disappointment. Had potential to be a great judge. Micromanages each case so nothing gets done and cant make up her mind or rule with authority. As a Public Defender her work was well regarded by her pears. As a judge she has lost the respect of the criminal bar.

An all-around good judge. Always a pleasure to appear before. Hopefully, she'll be on the bench for a long time.
