Judge Riley acts like she is God almighty, I wrote The board on her but they take care of there own. I reported her in June of 2010 and they let her stay and do her dirt until December 2010 until she retired and then they worte me back to tell she had retired there was nothing they could do. That Judge let my husband exwife have what ever she asked for their children were grown.

I agree, Judge Riley Is a very unprofessional, careless, and often sides with females. I have been dealing with Judge Riley with quite sometime (10 years to be exact), and most of the time she has ignored what I've had to say, but completely goes with whatever my ex-wife has to say, as well as the States Attorney's Clerk... This Judge should be Investigated, SHOW US THAT THE U.S. does not have a dishonest Court System I PLEAD investigate her court room and all of the cases that she has judged for...

Judge Riley doesn't really care what the law is, and even when given the law, she often chooses to ignore it. Due to an injury from an accident, she was often not at work this past year in a very unpredictable manner. It is difficult to get things done in this courtroom.
