Despite it being obvious that there was paperwork missing (26 exhibits!) Judge Jorgensen still adjudicated the case. He did so "on the papers" so I wasn't aware he didn't review my Exhibits until I questioned the ruling. He refused to re-issue a corrected Order instead insisting that I file a Motion for Reconsideration. He also failed to calculate a correct number for child support arrears, instead relying on a made-up number the Defendant threw out. He didn't provide any mechanism for enforcement of the Order either. It is hard enough having to be pro se, dealing with a Judge who is not doing his due diligence makes it near impossible. He will be retiring in a few months.

Judge Jorgensen was an excellent municipal court judge. As a Superior Court Judge, he is even better. A very smart man with a brilliant mind.

Sadly, this judge is an incurious moron. He has no business being a jurist and having anything to do with the lives of people.

Should be taken off the bench. Hates women and is prejudiced against them. Literally calls people liars in his court even though all the evidence proves they are not. Has no idea or any education in special needs children or what their needs are. Also doesn’t care about a litigant committing tax fraud. Looks the other way even though judges are forced by law to inform IRS of tax fraud. Worst judge in the state of New Jersey and should be disrobed.

This judge has absolutely no respect for the law. He is a nightmare for abused women. He is a big bully. He needs to get off the bench ASAP.
The second half of my complaint was copied from someone else. there was no need for me to rewrite it because the same exact thing happended to me "He even makes decisions despite the fact that an appeal is pending regarding the same case and violate litigant's rights and not respect the Appellate Court or the Attorney General.
This is not "Justice for All". Granting litigants and lawyers Attorney in Fact to sell homes even though there are evidence of fraudulent acts. And not caring about litigant's appeal."

Unless if you have a lawyer this judge will not hear your case and ignore your motions. He will not read the litigants opinion and rule against you. Even in cases with fraud he will rule against you and favor his attorney friend. He even makes decisions despite the fact that an appeal is pending regarding the same case and violate litigant's rights and not respect the Appellate Court or the Attorney General.

John Jorgensen needs to make a choice as to whether or not he wants to be a deacon in the Catholic church or a fair and impartial judge. The two are mutually exclusive. This very country was founded upon those principals. God help you if you invoke the concept of Karma in his courtroom. You will lose, regardless of the evidence and facts.

A fair judge, who reads the papers and listens to the litigants.
