Anne T. Hayes

Judge did a great job throughout the pendency of the case. Nothing but good things to say about her. Fair and honest as well as helpful throughout the process.

Called for pre trial settlement negotiations before all discovery having been completed, tried to coerse me to settle for a joke of an offer due to a criminal case conected to my case of theft of my property in which the States Attorney and the Sheriff's deputies are involved and they commited crimes and assisted with the theft of my property.

By far the most incompetent judge I have appeared before in more than 15 years of trial experience. Her inability to grasp legal concepts and thoughtfully evaluate evidence was the only consistency in her rulings. Truly a disgrace to our profession.

Judge Hayes took more than three months to hand down a decision regarding continued maintenance for a 21 year marriage that resulted in five children. The oldest of the children being multi needs. Judge Hayes indicated in court she would have a decision on 9/22/21. No maintenance has been paid since June of 2021. Only after plaintiffs attorney made a motion for defendant to pay past due maintenance on 1/4/22 did Judge Hayes finally make a ruling. Judge Hayes ruled for the defendant. It should be noted plaintiff is the full time care giver of the multi needs adult daughter. Defendant doesn’t pay child support. Defendant hasn’t spent anytime or contributed in any way since January, 2015. Plaintiffs attorney proved defendant has substantial means to pay continued maintenance. Plaintiffs attorney proved defendant funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars to his wife’s bank account from his company for work she did not do. Defendant testified he sold the business that was built during the marriage for 5 MILLION Dollars. Judge Hayes has zero compassion for the disabled. Judge Hayes gives NO worth for the stay at home mother. I (plaintiff) am expected at 62 years old to start a career that can support myself and my adult multi needs daughter who needs assistance in every aspect of her life. These proceedings, that have been going on since 2019, cost the plaintiff more than $30,000, with an outstanding invoice of 20K JUDGE HAYES JUST DOESN’T CARE
