Tammy, I hope you get a chance to read this. I feel you probably entered the legal field originally because you believed in justice, fairness, and equal treatment.

So I need you to know, because of you - only you - I lost all my faith in the justice system today.

I'm just going to say Tammy is the worst judge I have ever encountered. She huffed and puffed and appeared bored. She rolled her eyes rush the case along, didn’t listen and made a unbelievable ruling now I’m getting $38 a month in child support and my child lives with me 365 days a year. Tammy is definitely bias against women.

Judge Bruce's oversight is questionable. [Redacted by Ed.]. The court was not being recorded by video or audio, and no transciptionist was present in the hearing. Due process is not practiced within her courtroom.

If I were you, I would not go to this judge. She was rude and irritated with my case the moment i walked in the room. I tried to ignore it and do my part. I was polite, i provided all my evidence to her and she said that she needed a "break" so she leaves, comes back and then doesn't even listen to what i had to say about my case and didn't even look at the evidence/proof i gave her. She just dismissed my case. If I could give her 0 starts, i would. If you are not happy with your job and you don't want to listen to people's cases, why are you even a judge? If you don't want to listen and help make right decisions for people who came to you for help, why are you even allowed to be a judge? Please do us all the favor and leave. It is clearly not your profession. Never have I ever felt so deflated and helpless. Don't even waste your time with her people, at least I'm an honest person.

Does not know the law. Does not read through and understand divorce decrees. Has a reputation for being a crappy judge. Clearly prejudiced against women. Needs to be removed or voted out ASAP!

I have been in a 10 year custody battle. Previous rulings against mom are all precluded. Once I entered Tammy Bruce's courtroom I no longer had rights. I never committed a crime and lost my child. My child is hopelessly trapped in a bad situation. I can't help my own child because the Judge is openly corrupt with counselor Scott Johnson.

This is why family Courts should not have appointed Judges. Zero accountability. She will make your life as difficult as she can. Lawyers are right, this Judge doesn’t know the law
Fire her ASAP! Let Tulsa county have justice not over reaching opinions from these leftist minded Judges.

She does not know the law, she is biased towards women an dwomen lawyers. As a judge she is supposed to uphold the law, yet she goes against it in her court room with rulings clearly against Oklahoma statues. Why is she still a judge? There are numerous complaints of her failures as a judge and to demonstrate her ability to do her job. She ruins peoples lives and gets enjoyment out of it with her smirks and her sarcasm. She is very unprofessional, more like a teenager than a grown woman much less a judge.

I've come to this website multiple times to leave a bad review. But they all say the same thing and I am just wondering how long she is to be given free rein and what it is going to take to change it. She is terrible at her job and terrible overall. Incarcerated me twice although I was making obvious efforts to catch up on my child support. One of those times she "threw out" payments that would have actually put me ahead. Both times caused me to lose my jobs and fall further behind. When my attorney pointed this out she stated "that's going to continue to happen." She has an agenda and I'm not quite sure even she knows what that is. Completely lacking in common sense. Very prejudiced towards women.

I wish I had ability to say 0, She is evil, She exhibits the type of behavior of a spoiled teenage brat with her rolling her eyes when a person speaks and says unprofessional things that I never thought I'd hear judge say or act in courtroom, She also is discriminatory towards women and women she just doesn't like for personal reasons which shes displayed in courtroom, And I hope she gets removed and investigated cause she lets men & few women who has proven they are lazy, And lying about what they are doing to pay child support,And just let them leave or come back in 6months, But if your someone she doesn't like well u can prove you have tried get jobs showing proof, And proof of being dirt poor, And even when its recommend that you shouldn't go jail and she says no shes going anyway cause I know you're ex outside of this courtroom and I'm punishing you cause I don't like you.Karma will get this bitch.

Tulsa County should pay judges more money to attract more qualified attorneys to the position. It astonishes me that this person is a judge. Incompetence. I've see her in court enough to know that the positive reviews below have to be written by her or her family.

Possibly the least knowledgeable judge that I've ever encountered. Played with her phone during proceedings. Numerous times I've witnessed her open comments during session referring to wanting to go home. Horrid in so many ways.

My husband filed for custody after returning home from over seas, mother not I'm the picture and a wanted fugitive. The grandparents who had no rights, had a long criminal history and failed a drug test during proceedings were allowed to keep his son away from him for a year and 3 months. What makes it worse is that she literally told my husband she would never give him custody because he was in the military and it may him look unstable! So drugs, abandoning 2 kids, the State taking 2 others because the done drugs while pregnant and almost killed them while on the run from the law does? She kept waiting for the mother to get her legal stuff settled so she could give her custody instead. She wasn't even a part of the case. They broke every law, every court order and she does nothing as it's clear she hates fathers. She runs her own agenda in the court room regardless of the law and drags cases out instead of bringing them to resolution. She gives custody/gardianship to grandparents over fathers without cause and coddles women breaking the law and obviously high in her own court room while tearing down fathers and putting contempt on them. She does not care about the children she only hates fathers and refuses to hear any evidence including drug tests positive for meth and opiates. I'm pretty sure her handling of cases and men has caused many to take their own lives. Disgusting.

Judge Bruce needs to be better educated in civil matters. She has a clear bias toward women and makes outrageous rulings concerning child support calculations. One of my clients had been overpaying and owed nothing according to DHS calculator yet was ordered to continue to pay. Definitely favors lawyers she has worked closely with as a DHS attorney. Seems to be trying to correct her docket control problems by rushing people through the court system.

Run for your lives!!! She is out of control, she doesn't follow the law; she just follows her own whims. Very pro woman. Doesn't have any need for a GAL. Made us pay both parties cost then removed the GAL from the case because she said it was taking too long. I believe she highly favors attorney April Siebert. What's going on in her court is not justice at all.

Judge Bruce is wildly unpredictable in her alimony/spousal support calculations. Cannot get resolution on motions that should be slam dunks but her docket control problems might stem from poorly thought out rulings. In contentious cases she looks for the "Bad Guy" and is a strong lean towards moms. I agree with previous posts that you better have an attorney she likes. She is susceptible to theatrics and BS.

Has allowed my husbands motion to modify his child support payments to keep getting postponed for three years. One child age out two years ago and he's still paying for her. Yet she doesn't enforce his parental visitation rights. We file contempt and nothing happens. She's a poor excuse for a judge.

Horrible control over cases. Seems to allow them to drag out rather than making obvious decisions. Drags them out long enough to allow for cases to be assigned to other judges. The Oklahoma Supreme Court should investigate the Tulsa County court system.

Unpredictable in rulings and preferential towards certain attorneys because she does not know the law herself. I have seen Judge Bruce make some astonishly horrible rulings contrary to evidence. I have seen her look confused and out of control on the bench. Awful docket control and more interested in getting through the day/hearing than actually moving cases towards resolution.

This Judge is absolutely in the wrong court. From a law suit from an ex-husband of five years (no children) a suit that should have been dismissed, she did not dismiss. Because of the way the divorce decree was worded (words she did not understand) by the mediator and my atty, I have to pay $10,000.00 that I did not owe. Ex. is a con man, he conned the court and she fell for it. I have to pay. If she had a dictionary I am sure she would have dismissed the case. Words: Not assignable or executable. She thought that meant I owed it to him. Because I am retired and no money this has ruined my life.

Judge Bruce is a wonderful addition to the domestic bench. She see bs for what it is and my experience (with 3 different cases) is that she is very objective and does not fall for a bunch of emotional bunk. She is able to see through the vindictiveness that comes with this position... which is amazing.

She is a superb judge! She listens closely to the evidence, and openly admits if she is unfamiliar with the law in a particular area. Then she will research it and make thoughtful and educated decisions. At this point, she seems to struggle with docket control and scheduling, but she is new to the bench and I have witnessed marked improvement in that area as well. She is a superb judge, with a great judicial demeanor!
