Kelly C. Wall is a courtroom’s resident calamity whose decisions shatter families and her interpretation of the law resembles a bumbling shuffle through a minefield of ignorance and incompetence. Facing this catastrophe is like stepping into an altered universe where right is wrong and injustice reigns supreme. It’s time for Wall to pack up her gavel and switch careers to one where legal acumen isn’t required, perhaps she can become a fortune-teller where being consistently wrong is expected and more suited to her talents.

Does notconsider the educational needs of a child or the stabliity of child's environment. She makes derogatory remarks from the bench. Very unfair to fathers and favors the mother. Possible racist.Child did not have a summer waiting for her ruling which came one week before school opening. Ruling hurt the child and placed the child in an drug environment that is abusive.She should be barred on made to take child development courses

Horrible judge, working for protecting abusers, not the victims. If you go to this Judge, you won't get justice. he is a dumpster. She has to be terminated from the legal systems.

Totally bias judge, Kelly Wall, and possibly racist. Willing to find the plaintiff(mother) in contempt but not willing to punish the mother for violating their own court order. How can that be??? I have no faith in this judge and she completely favors women. If you're male you stand zero chance. Ms. Kelly Wall cut me off several times while making my statements but, yet let the mother speak freely uninterrupted. Not even once did she go after the mother for violating the order but instead was sure to blame me for what's going on.She shouldn't be on the bench. She should be barred and impeached. Totally bias & one sided judge! Never seen the other party not violating the order get blamed or punished. Wrong!

Judge Wall is as and as they say. I will edit this review with the full story, but her ineptitude and rule flouting hurt me and my kid. She is sexist as hell.

Judge Kelly C. Wall is a horrible, bias, mean spirited Judge who ruins people’s lives! Wall Ignores her own expert’s reports and recommendations! She makes orders based on hearsay! Violates Due process rights of parents and children! Judge Wall sides with lawyers she is friends with and makes bias comments on the bench. Judge Wall doesn’t follow the rule of law and basically ignores Parental rights with regard to the Constitution! Judge Wall has caused irreversible damage to so many children and their parents! Relationships between a parent and a child should never be treated so insignificant!
Judge Wall should be removed from the bench!

An absolutely horrible, mean spirited Judge. Very unfair towards male litigants in support cases. Routinely ruled in favor of a Montgomery County Probation Officer who was the Plaintiff in a child support case. As a result of that case, an official complaint has bern filed with the Board of Judicial Conduct.

Documented in court transcripts Judge Wall said she already made up her mind within the first day of the family court case (it was a 5 day trial). The defendant had not even put on their case at that point and she cut off the rebuttal testimony of the defendant. The forensic psychologist report and testimony was not even referenced by the Judge in her Finds of Facts because it was counter (and in favor of the father) to her custody ruling. Very clear bias against father. The plaintiff mother's lawyer and Judge are friends and socialize together. Very suspect.This judge should not be reelected in 2019.

This judge hid the fact that her husband was a close associate off opposing counsel. The judge herself teaches classes with that opposing counsel.
But she failed to disclose this fact.

In addition, it's likely that some exchange of favors occurred between the other party and the judge.
This judge ruled that both parties had to pre-submit petitions to HER before filing at prothonotary- a process no other American has to go through. Since the ruling, every one of Mother's petitions [and harrowing accusations] has been heard [and dismissed]..while--five or six of my petitions were not allowed to be filed.

No fewer than three Custody evaluators have recommended me to 42% custody of my Children, but...no..not in Kelly Wall's courtroom.

When Mother was found to have stopped paying the mortgage on the Children's home in May 2011 [and forward] - Judge Wall found her in contempt. No sanction--no recourse. And blamed me. My kids are being foreclosed on at this time. I asked for the deed of the underwater property to save it [ their lifelong home ] for their use.

Mmmm. No.

I agree that this judge should be impeached.

This judge should be impeached. She had no prior litigation experience. She concealed a campaign contribution.. and for four years issued biased orders.. and then suddenly recused stating she had a "conflict" with one of the parties. I have been trying to therefore get her orders vacated in this corrupt system. The complaint to the judicial conduct board against her was dismissed.. but 30 days later she recused. I assume they were behind it. She caused irreparable damage in this case.
