Civil Litigation - Private

Rating:1.0
Comments:
Displays a breathtaking ignorance of basic civil rules of litigation, is blatantly biased towards pro se litigants and issues rulings that are nonsensical and utterly divorced from legal reality. Avoid this judge at all costs.

This Judge put 300K into the purchase of DAWSON PLACE, a claimed private agency that hides records, steals government money, and double dips salary repayment from Dept. of Comm. Check out County Employee Faye Doll who is paid by Sno Co and get Federal Grant Money for the same time worked... FRAUD and then she hears cases involving her own personal Lawyer Anderson Hunter.. Message me about records I have them all. This lady is the scum of the earth....

I believe she is sexist towards men. A woman was caught lying making false police reports about a man and even though the man proved the woman to be lying she still awarded the woman everything she asked for.

Followed up with a client this week after a few years. Judge Ellis awarded a gigantic discretionary attorneys fees judgment against the client in a landlord-tenant matter. Client was never able to get housing again. His solution? He lives on the street, checking into the local ER every couple weeks, and spends several weeks being taken care of by the taxpayers. Unbelievably, he said you need to be careful where you call the aid car (911) because if you're taken to the wrong hospital its difficult to get home. Her award has cost us taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars. Thanks Judge.

Completely unqualified in temperament and knowledge to judge family law cases.

-Demonstrated numerous, significant biases in favor of one party's local counsel and client, and had belligerent attitude toward the other party (to the extent clerks had to comfort her during and after trial privately away from the Judge's scrutiny);

-Knew almost nothing about valuations real property or business valuations;
