Comments:
Judge Haslinger's biggest fault was getting too involved in each case. She truly tried to do what was best for the people in front of her.

Comments:
Judge Haslinger's retirement can't come quick enough. She is prone to unprofessional emotional outbursts, doesn't sign judgments for months and does not follow the law. She is a joke, and what she has done to individuals over the years will hopefully come back to get her. Her son was killed by a drunk driver and she never has been able to separate herself from that experience in order to be able to make sound judgments.

This Judge seems generally gullible siding with one side arbitrarily.

Litigant

Comment #: OR83
Rating:1.0

Comments:
Claimed to take "copious" notes during trial, but transcripts proved otherwise. Seemed to decide at beginning of trial in favor of plaintiff DESPITE 90% of testimony to the contrary. Appeal of verdict will prove that she failed big-time. 2-day trial took 5 days, with plaintiff taking up at least 4 of the 5 days. "Time restraints" forced defendant to rush through testimony.

Worst criminal judge ever! It should be automatic malpractice for a criminal defense practitioner not to disqualify her. Truly, a prosecutor in a black robe. She will make the DA's arguments for them in a motion hearing. She is an advocate for the prosecution.
