Candace Hooper

Hooper should NOT be on the bench. Her ruling against my client was in clear violation of the law, but my client did not have the money to appeal. Hooper made no effort to try and understand the issue. She went to Harvard and UW Law, and is probably bright, but is clearly not willing to put in the work (reading the pleadings, listening to the parties' arguments, listening to the lawyers) to actually be a good judge. Her attitude in court was extremely condescending and rude -- not judicial in temperament whatsoever. I feel sorry for everyone who has to appear before her in this small, small county.

So impatient with ZERO desire to see both sides.

She always seems lost- you need to keep everything SUPER SIMPLE if you are making any kind of complex argument. Very pro prosecution. Should have never been a judge.
