This judge doesn't know the law.
This Judge violated my civil rights to privacy. Violated my consent of the word NO thru via phone of releasing my information.
Above all, I am not even involved in the case. the other person is.
This case is not even criminal case for my information to be exposed.
As well I was never subpoena to give my information and as a current/former government agency, she violated the Florida Statue law under 119.
I will continue to process other proceedings higher than Samantha Ruiz-Cohen
Violate woman in court.
She was literally bulling the person that would not give my infomation with out my consent asking to much personal information. She needed to know the reason behind my NO.
She kept stating I will held you in contempt of court.
Completely bulling.
My information at this moment it is irrevelant to the court system

She will almost always rule on behalf of banks in foreclosure cases. She doesn’t like homeowners facing foreclosure even when the banks don’t have the correct documents/standing/forged documentation. She doesn’t care. She is a law professor at FIU I wonder what she is teaching these law students? Worst attitude, she forgot where she came from. I’m sure her parents didn’t speak perfect English. She is extremely unfair, doesn’t like it if you have a Spanish accent, I guess RUIZ must be a Scottish last name. I hope and pray she changes her ways and be fair to all parties.

This person cannot comprehend the case law. She reads most submittals, but doesn't understand them. She cannot follow an argument. Changes her mind constantly. Changes Orders. Is partial to certain large law firms and seems to rule in their favor as soon as they appear in the courtroom, no matter the law or equities. She appears to have a nice demeanor but beneath that fetching smile is a devious mind and unethical behavior.

Absolutely clueless about the law. Can't read and comprehend case law, so pro-plaintiff might as well sit at the table with plaintiff's attorney

Completely ignores the rule of law. An expedited trial should be expedited, but she allowed one to languish for six months and counting so far. HORRIBLE JUDGE!
