Judge Dwyer has always been respectful in the many cases I have had before him. He is not warm and fuzzy, but that's not his job. He is a very smart guy who has put a lot of work into deciding very complex matters I have placed before him, and he generally gets it right. He has always been flexible with dates, and defers to the parties if they are cooperating.

Judge Dwyer and Master Minner have NO cares about OUR children nor do they care that they violate all constitutional amendments, civil rights, federal law, state law, or any of it's statutes!!

Comments:
Judge Dyer has too many personal bias.
He shows favoritism. If the attorney is his friend, he sides with him/her.
I don't trust him very much.
I know he is smart.
However, I do not feel he is fair, unless it is towards his friends at the bar. Sometimes, he is somewhat friendly, but most of the time, he is grouchy and mean to anyone that he does not know.

This judge trampled on my daughter's constitutional rights during a custody hearing over which he had no juristiction. He conducted his hearing with open bias, and advised and counseled the other party from the bench. My daughter had no charges, whatsoever against her, but he took her child from her. The only plausable explanation
Is that judge dwyer is involved in child trafficing, or an adoption kick-back scheme. He has a long track record!

this judge is the most arrogant, underhanded, heartless judge i have ever seen in my life. how he is able to reside over a courtroom is a mystery. he should be thoroughly investigated and removed! how can one have that done?
he's a pathetic waste who has apparent control issues. not to mention a sadistic like attitude
