D. Charles Bailey

WE NEED REFORM FOR FAMILY COURT, and we should start with this guy.

This judge constantly uses his position to perpetuate abuse, not prevent abuse. Judge D. Charles Bailey makes fun of women in open court, does not review evidence, communicates with one parties attorney in private, forces the parent who has proven stability and safety to jump through impossible hoops while charging self represented parties to pay represented parties attorney fees. This guy should be behind bars and throw away the key, I have never seen someone so absolutely awful at their job.

Judge Bailey has established a deeply troubling pattern in family court: removing children from safe, loving mothers and placing them into the custody of fathers accused of domestic violence. Mothers with no criminal history, no substance abuse issues, and no history of violence enter his courtroom seeking protection for their children and leave traumatized, silenced, and separated from them.

RECALL THIS AWFUL JUDGE. CAN NOT BE IN OFFICE. ABUSIVE OF HIS POSITION AND DOES NOT CARE ABOUT CHILDREN.

Ive never been in a coury room and been so entirely embarrassed by our justice system than I have been in this court room. This judge is rude, incompetent, unprofessional and does not serve the best interests of the county. He should really remove himself from this position before he truly embarrasses himself to the point no one will work with him.

Get this guy off the bench!!! 0 stars across tbe board

Never been so ashamed of a public official and his inability to preform his duties.

He should be removed from his seat as a judge. Absolutely unfit for family law cases.

This judge is absolutely unfit to be on the bench. He often participates in ex-parte communication, refuses to review valid and pertinent, properly submitted evidence, [Redacted by Ed.] disrespects people with disabilities, despise women and victims of domestic violence, doesnt act in the best interests of children, [Redacted by Ed.] treats those who had been struggling with addiction but have years of progress under their belt as criminals, hates poor people or pro se litigants/public defended people, makes [Redacted by Ed.] with attorneys, openly mocks citizens in the court room. He should absolutely be removed for the courts and he should be banned from practicing law. He should truly face charges for the crimes he commits daily against the citizens of the county and state.

A disgrace to the judicial system. Across multiple proceedings, Judge Charles Bailey’s handling of evidence and courtroom commentary reflected a constrained evaluation of the record. Material contextual evidence; most notably documented domestic violence and subsequent compliance. It was minimized or treated as legally irrelevant, despite its direct bearing on the issues before the court.

This "judge" continually provides disservice to the community he is sworn to oversee. He is not fit for his role. His bias overflows onto each case, he is sexist toward women, he believes that domestic violence is the victims fault. He doesnt believe its a real, life altering event. Aside from his absolute hatred toward women, he is unfit to hold a position of power. He has numerous formal complaints regarding his bias, over reach, and refusal to review the facts. This man should NOT be re-elected. Lets ensure he is removed from office.

He's an embarrassment to the judicial system in Washington County. Extremely ignorant to the bias he parades around for all to see. Not sure who or why he was ever put in this position. Judgement and fairness are not his strong suit. In court he comes off like an extremely troubled man.

I was nervous about having Judge Bailey in charge of my civil family law case. However, he was consistent, fair, and made decisions over time to keep my child safe. He did not show bias but rather held firm boundaries in the courtroom while allowing the focus to remain on safety.

Figured I’d review him after our second encounter. Judge sided with fact less opinions and assumptions to eliminate a father’s role in his children’s lives. I personally have met 8 men who have had very similar experiences as mine.

This Judge removed my rights as a custodial parent, after being a victim of DV, told me I should not speak and that if I did, NOTHING I said would change his mind. It further victimized me and stole my voice for over a year, I am finally ready to move forward with this process and I am so afraid of this judge to silence me, not listen to the facts, and simply rip my heart out of my chest. I had no voice, and this judge further took my voice, esteem, and rights away from me unjustly.

Wretched. Denies due process of law. Will 100% take a child that has lived with one parent their whole life and without any investigation, any involvement from CPS, and give the child to the other parent that they've never lived with. This judge will remove a child completely at a temporary hearing right after the parent was served and not give what has been their primary parent for years, not even 24 hours of time over the course of a month. This judge will then bypass having any additional hearings and close the case so that parent is never heard. "Legal" kidnapping without evidence and cause. Absolutely disgusting. Absolutely biased. Absolutely hates women. If you are a woman protecting your child and go to a safe place like a confidential DV house, he will rip your child out of your arms without question because as he says "a shelter is no place for kids, it's not safe". That comment is made with absolutely zero testimony on what that confidential DV house is like. This judge needs no evidence, he just relies on his own bias to victimize domestic violence survivors and their children.

I suppose I represent the other side of the cases complained about in here. For every unhappy parent reviewing, I would guess there is a coparent whispering prayers of gratitude somewhere. Personally very pleased with Judge Bailey. His courtroom demeanor was understanding, patient, and empathetic, he listened, explained his thought process, and in the end did right by our child. I got the impression he really cared, and I saw no trace of the harshness that I had heard about. Glad to have Bailey. My ex of course would disagree. (in case it matters, I am the mom).

Avoid this judge if you can. [Redacted- man who hates women and was bullying me right in the courtroom. This country is going downhill.

There is no justice in this man's courtroom. He views himself as all powerful and untouchable, and from what I have seen, he is right. The toxic masculinity with the unchecked power to absolutely ruin children's lives by consistently siding with abusers is nauseating. I don't know what happened in this man's childhood, but he is taking it out on the most vulnerable. He is a bully and a sadist with a severe case of narcissistic personality disorder. The fact that he is a disgraceful judge is not the most disturbing thing, there are awful humans out there, we all know this. The whole system has failed us by allowing this sociopath to continue determining the future of Oregon families. Oregon Department of Justice; Me and my son beg you, STOP THE CORRUPTION!!!

I sat in a hearing to observe the judge. I've heard all the egregious stories about Judge Bailey - and they are indeed true. You get a sense of seething resentment from this judge. It really is dangerous. to see these judges in action to see how they can ruin litigants lives. Everyone knows how unethical Judge Bailey is. However, the powers that be have to just pretend and look the other way and truly practice blind justice. It is unconstitutional that he cannot hear criminal cases but now only domestic relations.
