Jodi Orlow

This judge is a complete waste of time and extremely biased and one-sided. This judge overrules her own court order time and time again in favor of the defendant. When asked why she does this she claims she likes to afford people “grace”, but at the detriment to the other party! She never makes a decision and likes to revisit topics over and over again at every conference when clearly both parties cannot seem to come to an agreement. There’s a reason the parties have come to court. If they could have agreed on issues themselves they wouldn’t be there!!! If you get this judge request for a change immediately! You will waste time and money and still end up going to trial because she never enforces her own order and refuses to make a decision based on the facts presented before her.

I tried to protect my child from my VERY abusive ex, without looking into my accusations she automatically offered my ex FULL custody, and threatened to make me lose custody. Meanwhile my child is constantly bruised on the back while over my ex's. After an acs case was opened, rather then see I was HONEST, she then okayed an order for me to be investigated instead. she saw the bruises on me and my CHILD AND STILL BELIEVED MY EX husband and continued to side with my abusive ex that doesn't financially support our child at all. she's not impartial, nor does she care about me or my toddler's safety. I don't know how she sleeps at night. I've met warmer ice cubes.

Honestly I wish I had a different judge. Judge Orlow listens to hearsay and not actual facts that can be presented (text, emails, videos, audios, etc.) All she wants to do is close the case out and not think in the best interest of all involved. Also, due to covid, I'm unable to participate and listen to any proceeding and have to wait in the virtual "waiting room" only to be dragged in once Plaintiff's lawyer have made unknown accusations without giving me the chance to defend myself. Again, it's a he said she said battle. Judge never bothered to read my motion. I understand that we may be just a number to this judge but this is my family's life we are talking about. My kids are my priority who unfortunately will be collateral damage to a careless judge who can't determine fact from fiction.
