I laughed at the post about how wonderful she is. I suspect that the person submitting that post was advantaged by her bias and took advantage of an opponent. That is not impartial justice. She is incompetent.

Not sure if the comments below are from someone with a specific agenda, but she is fantastic. She handled one particularly complex and contentious case and was incredibly patient, and worked a lot of hours to put together a fair settlement, and handled a ton of discovery disputes along the way promptly and fairly.

Another display of favoritism in a settlement conference. Complicated matter but her obvious effort to ignore the compl x issues at the expense of the plaintiff. Tried to protect a lawyer defendant that committed malpractice

Lack of experience and knowledge. Poor judicial temperament due to her insecurity. Lashes out to disguise her incompetency. A poor selection by the court.

As an insurance defense lawyer I was shocked at how she treated plaintiff’s counsel in a settlement conference. She showed us certain things that led me to believe she was helping us to the detriment of the plaintiff. I worry about when it will be my client’s turn to be victimized by her biased actions. She was a mistake to be appointed to this job.

She is clearly biased and unskilled in personal injury litigation. She fails to recognize conflicts of interest. This stems From a lack of real world experience and a bias toward corporate America. I believe she is insomnia and arrogant believing she knows more than she does. She steps over the line on talking to clients advocating on behalf of defendant.
