Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: NJ3839
Rating:1.3
Comments:
You just never know with this Judge Filko seems very opinionated and makes character judgements based on his own opinion. I had my entire case comply with the MSA AND HE STILL favored my ex. Plaintiff was in complete violation and blamed me for her inability to comply with the MSA. Pray you dont get this Pos judge because you may think it's close case and yet it spirals into thousands of dollars unnecessarily legal fees and nothing has been resolved and yet a simple case turns into 18 month law suit. Judge is not fair or just. If he followed what the agreement was written and negotiated between my self and plaintiff I would not be In Over $20,000 legal fees. I have one more opportunity to see if he will do what was written before I appeal and complain to Trenton about Judge Filko and appeal. Next move request he recuse himself.

terrible, unjust, one-sided. Does not honor facts bases judgment on his "personal emotions". Assumes the worse in people specially men. he does no service serving as a Judge. [Redacted by Ed.] His "opinion" doesn't follow agreement settlements and makes his own conclusion and get ready it will be a circus and you are the monkey and he the tyrant.

Very Bias Judge, doesn't follow what has been agreed by law, opinionated and unjust. Favors women over men in his kangaroo court. Your at the devils mercy with this highly liberal democrat bias Judge.

One sided, does not listen to both parties, goes into court with predetermined verdict.
