John F. Simon

john simon is a career state employee who worked at the state attorney's office and wanted to make more money by moving into the judicial side since his career was limited. as working in the state, he's never been in the real world and has little sense of reality. i unfortunately got stuck with him for part of my divorce because the magistrate recused herself due to an appeal she lost horribly and was scolded by the appellate court. the appellate court gave specific instructions to the court, in which john simon ignored and still carried on the divorce in spite of their instructions. his attitude is he cannot be told anything and is not to be corrected. however, if you don't obey his every word, he punishes you and chastises you every hearing going forward. however, its a double standard. he has no respect for the higher courts above him. he is temperamental and has anger fits in hearings and openly mocks one side. as others have said, he has relationships with some attorneys that are unprofessional in the amount of bias he shows them while being disrespectful of other attorneys. in his court room, the truth, justice and the laws do not matter. everything is based upon his inflated and dangerous ego. pray that you never have to sit before him. if you do, be prepared in advance to file an appeal when you find out how he acts.

This judge sends off signals of being bias. When a female comes into his courtroom they're putting themselves in a vulnerable position to face their attacker. A disgusting part of his character shows as the victim is mocked while in tears during the complete testimony. The narsassistic attacker is able to fool him into not only believing they were the victim but also getting him to commend them on their lies and behaviors ultimately FAILING the victim. Not only is this judge overseeing DV cases but then may be assigned to the same individuals in a DR or other case.
