Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: OH227
Rating:9.8
Comments:
You always know where you stand in her courtroom. She has the most sensitive BS detector in the Justice Center, so don't try to BS her. The attorneys that think she's too tough probably tried to pull something over on the court.

She is a terrible Judge, she makes people pay high restitution, whether they can afford it or not!!! She should work out a payment plan with the accused instead of taking all their monies and not leaving them enough to live on!!!! She tells them what they are going to pay instead of working out a reasonable payment plan that they can afford for restitution!!!!!!! I believe she does this so she can come back and get them for not paying and throw them in jail!

Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: OH65
Rating:2.0
Comments:
Probably the most unpleasant, mean and hostile judge that I've dealt with in twenty years of civil litigation experience. A poor example of a public servant. This judge is someone who only gets elected based upon her surname -- and Cuyahoga County's ridiculous surname-based election practices.

Yeah, she's mean. Sentences are pretty tough. Probation is even tougher. She does give people chances but the terms are somewhat ridiculous. On the plus side, she's consistent and fair within her milieu. Great work ethic. The JC needs more 8:30 AM judges.
