I witnessed a summary judgment hearing presided over by Judge Drechsler. He was so bad that I ordered a transcript of the hearing to prove to myself that I heard correctly. He made at least four false premises concluding that the plaintiff's lawyers (the non-moving party) made statements and/or admissions that they most clearly didn't make or even hint at making. The transcript proves it. For this reason alone, he needs to be disbarred, removed, fined, and never again be allowed to judge a case. I was shocked the way he acted and for what he said to the plaintiff's lawyers. Unbelievable.

He has either himself or had people who do his bidding go into my storage areas. I have valuables that cannot be replaced. I have documents that cannot be replaced related to a substantial trust. And, I have my everyday clothes. I know that things are missing. I have not had a chance to do inventory. He has stalked me and harassed me for years. This is what happens when some one turns down s sick person. He belongs in jail. Neither I nor my possessions are safe. I will probably try to the police involved when it is safe for me to make a statement.

Today I was harassed by 2 bad cops when I was the victim of a crime. This is consistent with Tom Drechsler's police officer friends , The police have harassed me for years beginning when I turned down Drechsler's "advances".

Was manipulated by an unethical lawyer to hurt a vulnerable innocent person - who only wanted a competent ethical lawyer to represent her out if a legal mess she did not create.

it is my opinion that when he was a judge, he had the police follow me around, give me "messages", falsify police reports having to do with my personal/family issues, to to real estate brokers and tell them not to rent to me, go to cab companies so that they would not pick me up, etc., etc., etc..

He had been a lawyer for police - specifically patrol officers - before he became a judge. After he became a judge, he enlisted the help of the police to bother me - a private citizen. Among other activities, they then proceeded to falsify family court records of mine in a family problem that will not end; falsify medical records of mine - which I think is extremely disgusting. Also, they went to various persons and tried to get them to initiate problems for me that would not ordinarily have existed. It is my opinion that he does not have the character to be a judge.

He used his position of power to threaten me and have the police threaten and harass me as a private citizen. He did this behavior after he was on the bench. In my opinion, he should not be on the bench. His personal problems interfere.He is lacking integrdty.
