She is fair and open-minded with both parties. I am surprised at some of the comments listed here. I wish I could give her more than a 10 rating in many of the areas listed, but particularly in scholarship. This woman knows her law. You may not like what she says, but that doesn't mean she isn't being fair.

HORRIBLE!!She handed parental rights to a man who is incompetent to take care of himself never mind his own children.. A CURRENT BILL OF HEALTH was suppose to be submitted to prove that the children were not going to be in any immediate danger due to serious health issues and She allowed for a 3 yr. Old medical clearance to be submitted. Knowing that children's lives may be in danger. Doesnt stick to her word. Stated that if the medical report was not handed in by a specific time the children where not leaving the state yet the medical report that was from 3 years ago and not a current medical report was submitted and she allowed the children to leave the state. She should retire as it is apparent that her best interest is not for the childrens best interest is in her salary. I am so disappointed in the justice system because of her. I truly hope she goes through what we went through so she can see how it feels to fear for the lives of the children you love and protect. I truly wish there was a place I can go to and fight this injustice. This judge should be thrown out of the court system. It is obvious that we are not the first case she screwed up.

Corrupt and abusive. Not following protocol, refusing to accept evidence of repeated domestic violence abuse and favoring my ex who nearly murdered me while I was severely ill and unemployed unable to afford a lawyer. Refused to accept my doctors’ notes as proves. Scared off a lawyer who offered pro bono representation for me out of court room. Discriminative towards immigrant women and extorting money from female victims through abuse of legal system and favoring unethical lawyers who threaten abused women to sign decrees under duress. I have been threatened and financially charged if I comment about her or my ex’s attorney publicly and forced to delete truthful and often provable comments, my proves dismissed constantly. Extreme nepotism. She said to my ex to not talk because he was about to admit the crimes and continued by saying; I’ll take care of her (me) .

I have never witnessed such aggressive and manipulative conduct by a judge in favor of money and business, not family justice. After laughing comically and cynically and not allowing me to speak the truth in my defense repeatedly she ranted: “this is how we do business here”. She is not in favor of women, but in favor of money. Last she brought a judgement without notifying me in mail about the hearing ordering me to pay for the fees of my ex’s lawyer who I received a document stating he FAILD TO PROVIDE, but sued me as not cooperating, when he is corrupt. This all happened during corona lockdown. I am questioning this judge’s sanity, as her behavior and work was described by everyone as poor, bad and biased, but she keeps working, which is absurd. There were also a lot more comments about her unethical conduct which seem to be deleted.

Unreasonably bias in favor of women. She put an elderly man in jail for 9 months for contempt.
