Incapable of understanding law, one of the worst judges I've been before, mentally unstable, no cognitive skills at all. Demonstrates bias, argues cases from the bench, her ignorance and lack of integrity and dignity is appalling.

Comments:
She is one of the worst judges I've been before. Luckily she hasn't been in the courts I frequent recently but she is pro-debtor but that doesn't surprise me given that she has filed personal bankruptcy within the last 3-4 years. Has no grasp on the rules of civil procedure and will argue from the bench. There are judges that you can disagree with but she is completely unfit to be a judge. I suggest Plaintiffs counsel should search Pacer and review bankruptcy schedules for potential conflicts of interest.

She is the nastiest judge I've encountered on the bench. She is incapable of understanding the law. She still wants to be a lawyer and argue the case. I cannot stress enough how unprofessional, rude, condescending and egotistical she is.
