Biased, incompetent.

Biased, incompetent. Uses arrogance to hide her insecurities and incompetency.

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.

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
