He smiles in your face and talks really nice all while being a snake in the grass. He sides with the problematic parent to keep the money heavily flowing into the system. The best interest of my kids was to make both parties, not just one party, follow court mandates, custody order, etc. He lied to me on several occasions and tried to snowball me with a second mental health evaluation when my 1st one was stable. He is a bully not a judge! There is NOTHING honorable about that. He is not God but puts himself in that position impeding on the constitution and human civil rights.

I have a court order stable mental health evaluation, no criminal history, no substance abuse history, and not even a driving record. I have a 4 year degree in elementary-special education concentration in psychology and department of education security clearance and this judge engaged in the some very shady work. He said sometimes I just think people can't see the forest beyond the trees" He retaliated against me for acting pro se after 5 court appointed attorneys changed direction as soon as they spoke on my case amongst themselves. Completely different demeanor than before with no other precursor. He awarded my ex with a compromised mental health evaluation sole custody and even gave him my visitation leaving me with therapeutic visits after he was aware of the ridiculous amounts of contempts and issues presented by my ex's attempts at parental alienation. My ex provided ZERO evidence to the court to be awarded these privileges. Now my kids are in a toxic unsafe environment. The only thing this judge cares about is money. He made that clear after putting my family through 7 years of hell. He does not protect family he protects the system's pockets then claims he is about women's equality. He took away my human right to have relationships with three of my children. He was definitely gender bias. I have 7 years to say there is nothing honorable about his decisions in our court room.

Comes from a DA background and is very tentative in civil matters. Has a good clerk but is still getting his bearings on civil matters. Decisions are quick but not detailed.
