This magistrate is a disgrace.

He placed me on child support, even though I was never served.

The Sherriffs showed up at an address that I’ve never lived at and were told I wasn’t a resident.

The sheriff then signs the resident’s name and writes ‘wife’ in the line corresponding to who he served.

The resident was NOT my wife.

Judge Snoddy flat out lied , on the record, to my face saying ,as he held up a piece of paper, “it says here that the sheriff handed this to you personally,”contradicting what another magistrate said weeks prior who oversaw the case and decided to bang the gavel for a continuance after I mention the discrepancies.

Magistrate Snoddy also came up with an amount not based on any formula or pay stubbs because I hadn’t brought any to court. He asked me what I did for a living. I told him I was a bartender and his only response was “oh they make good money” and came up with an amount of $850/ month plus arrears .
Arrears dating from a time where my daughter was living with me and my new girlfriend because she has been abandoned by her mother with us for 6 months.

He also proceeded without proper paternity having been established.Moreover, I have 50/50 Custody and myself and mother of my children are Virginia residents.

I brought ALL of these things to his attention to no avail. My case was a complete sham and based in Fraud. PG Family Court is rogue.

I’m poised to sue.
Anyone else who has been wronged by this tyrant and wish to become a part of a class action 1983 civil lawsuit , please contact me soon at

Bad judge. Not very nice. Arrogant and brusque. Not as smart as he thinks he is. Needs to retire or find another line of work.

An aptly named individual. Basically a bully. Zero experience in private practice and it shows. Makes snide and unprofessional remaks on the record routinely. Sorry if you draw him for anything.

I felt coerced into agreeing to a custody decision by this court. I was told that if I didn't agree to a decision that was argued by both parties' lawyers at the judge's bench, with a noise machine on so I couldn't hear what was being said, then the judge would make a worse for me. This judge also said that the opposing party would eventually be able to take my toddler anywhere. The opposing party was a man whose violence sent me to surgery, who set fire to my house, and believed he had a demon living inside of him. Judge Snoddy's decision did very little to protect me or my toddler. We are extremely lucky to still be alive.

We the people will never see real transparency as it relates to the judicial system and the dishonor that some individuals brings to it. I’ve submitted and screenshoted 2 comments on this platform, that has been removed concerning this judge, I wonder how many more comments that have been left by others have been removed. Watch out for this new and upcoming judge. Shaking My Head

If there was an option to give this judge a zero rating, that is what I would give him. Nothing about him is honorable

I realize I didn’t state what this dishonorable judge ordered, he ordered that the smooth criminal of the last 14 years, current drug court participant, who currently attends alcohol and drugs related weekly meetings, joint custody... He took sole custody away from me, a ordered joint custody between that father and me, my children has to spend 7 days at a time living at their grandmother’s (who this case was really about) house... I still can’t fathom a judge being in his right, who signed up for serving justice would make such an erroneous call as such ???????
