it started back in 2023 when he yelled at me and continued to date getting worse each time. The judge committed Ex-parte communication with me and denied it when I confronted him on the record. He sent my incapacitated minor to detention with no pending charges. He has continued to defend useless attorneys and refused to let me provide proof of the failures. Much more has already been reported to the judicial committee Legal Knowledge: Obviously aligned with the Department. ignoring lack of jurisdiction. Failed to dismiss even though I provided enough evidence to see the Department’s failure to protect my son. Overlooked evidence of abuse to highlight an email asking for help. Fairness & Impartiality: I submitted a motion to dismiss for Lack of Jurisdiction because the court doesn't have the affidavit of proof of service my motion was dismissed with prejudice instead of the case Judicial Temperament: yelled at me for mot believing my attorney was advocating for my interests. refused to appoint new counsel and told me that is the risk I take when I dismiss my attorney but she was blocking evidence from reaching the court Communication: When I stated I didn't understand he got impatient and rudely asked what I don't understand. Timeliness: I have been in court for roughly 3 years and he's always late
