Brilliant. When she entered the courtroom, she had read and absorbed every word of every motion and answer - and there were many. She immediately parsed out the BS and cut to the facts. She was professional, direct, fair and super sharp. I’d stand before her anytime and at either table. Deep respect.

This judge is so bias and unprofessional. She talks about other cases in front of other cases that has no relevance.

I totally disagree with the negative comments about Judge DeVries. Sounds like they come from disgruntled defendants who lost. I was very impressed by Judge DeVries judicious and even-handed treatment of a relative's case. He plead guilty and was given a very fair sentence by the Judge. She was firm, respectful, and thorough.

Arrogant , dismissive, either disallows or disregards pertinent evidence. Total disregard for plaintiff violating several laws while determining the defendant guilty before understanding the facts. I’m 100% certain it was just a case of small town nepotism. Not worthy of being a court officer.

She openly displays a complete disregard for the truth. Her biased attitude toward litigants without hearing any evidence is appalling. She has a problem.

I am stunned at the outright bias she displays. She ignores evidence, doesn't allow evidence to be introduced, relies on facts not in evidence, insults people openly in court and violates the constitutional rights of litigants. Why is she in this position?

Very biased and favors certain plaintiffs.

No class at all. Ridicules others in the court room in front of everyone.

Definitely a bully type person

This judge has been around for a while. She started as a part-time judge, pulled the right levers and is now drawing a full paycheck, traveling the circuit. She has very little real-life experience, and no legal scholarship at all. When she tries, it's painful to watch.
