Comment #: IL3710
Rating:Not Rated
Comments:
She appears to be very defensive of defendants and bias. She doesn't require that ABUSIVE men keep up and follow the orders of protection. She hasn't made any decisions in best interest of children in case.

Lacks knowledge of family law and her limitations as a circuit court judge.

Comment #: IL3557
Rating:Not Rated
Comments:
Shows bias. Her practice as a judge appears to go against the petitioners and defend respondents. Yet appears taken aback when respondent is in agreement with petitioner. Does not appear to be able to remove herself from criminal defense attorney mindset. Defend defend defend.

Someone should review her dockets and findings. Discriminatory practices going against even her own orders.

Comment #: IL3556
Rating:1.0
Comments:
Unknowledgeable of the law and unwilling to uphold the law. Disregards previous judgements.

People do not go to court to work it out amongst themselves due to her lack of our unwillingness to abide by the laws when making decisions/judgements.
