Litigant

Comment #: WA2140
Rating:1.0
Comments:
Basden arrives at hearings without reading the pleadings. He is able to rule in ways that wipe out litigants capacity to maintain legal representation at family court temporary hearings. He was appointed to the judge position, elected without competition and very much so connected to local peer attorneys. He tends to like the Title IV-D federal funding stemming from separating parents from their children, to keep the courthouse open and the county bar fed.

Comments:
This man is dangerous and should not hold this position. He made my life a living hell for 2 years because he refused to follow the law. He is sexist and dangerous and a disgrace to the law.

Too busy trying to fix the problem, rather than applying the law.
