Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: MO464
Rating:1.0

Comments:
Quick temper, unprofessional, biased, disrespectful with an ego of a building size. He was a bad GAL and now is the worst judge. Bad GALs get promoted to become bad judges. You get him on your case disqualify!

Comments:
Judge Hilton makes quick decisions not based on facts. He’s biased, unprofessional, rude, loud, and purposefully intimidating to women in his courtroom. He seems to prefer men over women and isn’t afraid to show it. Women and children are not credible to him. Maybe our children just don’t matter to him. He’s very arrogant. Google him and read some of the mothers’ motions to remove him after he’s already caused damage. Also, read his bio for when he wanted to become a judge. Read the cases that he offers up in his bio. Read in the bio about his history as a GAL. Mothers should quickly file a motion to get a different judge if you are assigned to him. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

Unprofessional, screams, yells, insults and intimidates litigants in his courtroom. Openly biased and is not interested in following the law. He was a bad GAL and now is a bad judge.

Hopefully he will be a more forthright judge than he was as GAL. Hidden agendas, no follow through, more concerned with appeasing judge than guarding the children he is paid generously to represent.
