Litigant

Comment #: IA74
Rating:Not Rated
Comments:
Lacking respect for families, does not hear all sides to cases, makes judgements on hear-say, does not know the dynamics of her cases and is partial to sides and is not bias or open minded. She has often made her mind up before a case even begin's. She allows Ad-Litems and DHS to over power her decisions. This Judge has not one ounce of compassion, nor the understanding of addiction in families. She has her own bia's that effects her ability to over see addiction cases. She lacks fortitude & direction. She shortens cases, adding several steps into one, she moves on without the client understanding what is happening, she does not keep her word, such as stating we will go back to that & re-visit it. DHS, Ad-Litem & Judge Dean were asked if the child could be placed with biological family before a CINA was filed, in the way beginning. All stated there was no need as this is a reunification with parents.
