I'd give a negative number if possible... absolutely horrendous, does what she wants, disregards the Massachusetts laws and states she can do so as she has broad discretion. She claims from the bench to be a bit of a wild card and disregards professionals as a means to put your children in harms way( this case in the hands of an alleged pedifile) she doesn't care about alleged child pornography on this person's computer because it was on an old computer and not current.
She has caused my kids damage, professionals even agree and it's no where over yet.

This lady is just horrendous and even local lawyers say it, as well as calling her a social worker and not a judge! Saying she's not fit to make legal decisions....these words from lawyers before her. She's a scarey joke on this island and lawyers find her to be an evil inept judge, and other ligaments question her mental stability and feel there's something wrong with her , not to mention a clear bias towards certain lawyera...just so much, she doesn't know what she's doing and she's damaged my kids!!! And won't stop till she destroys them. Prey you don't get her.

Very biased and favors abusive parents
Few litigants know that she represented a father convicted of killing the mother of their child and the father-defendant's "lawyer, Patricia Gorman, said Holland [father] wanted to speak to Patrick [son who found his mother DEAD at home] and tell him he loved him, said Ron Lazisky. Patrick walked out before the judge could rule, and the judge eventually denied the request. "I just didn't want to hear that from him," Patrick said afterward." https://www.deseret.com/2004/7/27/19842181/son-wins-battle-to-divorce-his-dad

Gorman has ignored countless photos of huge, suspicious injuries on a disabled person and in other cases, on children, where there is known domestic violence by the parent alone with the injured child. She rewards abusers.
