Ignores overwhelming evidence in order to stay on path of neutrality, issues multiple orders from the bench. Once she gives an order, it gets blown off, she issues another order and it gets ignored. Lawyers disrespect and openly defy her. This judge does not enforce her own orders and is toothless, a figurehead taking up space.

It's very sad. Bannister may be a nice person, but she moves in the path of least resistance. If someone tells her something negative about someone, she doesn't wait until she hears evidence or proof, she is an alarmist and afraid of ruining her reputation. It's sad that so many children have been hurt by her.

I HAD A CASE BEFORE HER. THE MOST ARROGANT, SNOTTY JUDGE I HAVE EVER SEEN. SITS AND TALKS SOCIALLY WITH ATTORNEYS SHE KNOWS FROM THE BENCH. COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL AND NOT QUALIFIED TO HEAR A CASE BIGGER THAN A PARKING TICKET!!!

Bannister and her criminal lawyers cohorts, Julie Falvey(Buffalo, NY) and Lisa Robinson(Attica, NY) and Donna Haslinger, Buffalo and Batavia, NY) uses the City of Batavia, NY Police Department as her own terrorist squad to threaten to murder defendants before her. She also uses the police and Genesee County District Attorney Larry Friedman to illegally terrorize you and harass you. The FBI should have investigated these Bannister and her criminal allies years ago for human rights violations, bribe taking, and other criminal activities. See http://www.corruptgenesee.com

This judge tends to be overly cautious when dealing with custody. I have witnessed her persecuting mothers and really putting them through hell when a husband accuses mother of things like, drug use only to find out in the end the husband lied and the judge believed him with no evidence. It's not fair. The person who lies to keep chidlren from their mothers should be held accountable. It's not the system that's unfair it's judges, who make decisions based on lies and let their personal views cloud a fair judgement. Judges need to be help accountable for making innocent people suffer
