Completely inept and impulsive with her decision making. Does not take the time to research either law or background

After reading several of these comments I can see that I am not alone in my thoughts about this Judge!!! She pulled the same shenanigans in my case! Didn’t care about the safety of the child, changed rules was and procedure’s that weren’t even legal!!! Threatened that I would have to pay attorneys fees of I pushed the court matters further…. Pretty much handed my child over to a drug addict who continues till this day to do drugs!!! Nothing I can do more since I have no money to keep fighting!!!

Thank you for providing this forum. In my matter of a Will contest, Judge Susan Sheppard refused to enforce court rules on answering depositions, she proactively quashed duely served subpoenas forbiding, for example, the 'unbiased' administrator of the estate from testifying, manipulated witness testimony (forcibly interjected her own answer to examination rather than permitting the witness to respond), blatantly falsified testimony, caused my admitted evidence to "disappear", lied about a change in beneficiaries from a previous will along with other instances of falsifying evidence, however,with this demonstration of another Will "before the court" after invalidating the most recent Will then refused to consider for probate two previous executed wills as demanded in the Show Cause in favor of intestacy, lied about firsthand expert witness testimony supported by "stipulated" affidavits of unbiased individuals which stated unequivocally that there was no undue influence between my mother and myself; rather than citing a more recent case went back to one from the 1940's, however if outlined would have showed this bullshit confidential relationship existed between my mother over me as I was living in her apartment not vice versa (i did not control her need for shelter), the joint bank accounts with her totaling $14,000 used to pay her bills were from my own funds (she controlled my finances) while my sister had at least one joint bank account with $125,000 in it. I could go on and on. Suffice it to say, this woman abused her power to destroy a sacred trust that a family legacy house should be demolished along with all its contents rather than be repaired and shared with the fifth generation to enjoy and then they themselves pass on. Since this time I am momanically filled with a deep, pervasive hatred for this woman. This should not be the reward of someone who sacrificed their family, career and activities to provide unsurpass and faithful care to their mother for ov

This judge is incompetent and totally ignores the facts. Case law was clearly submitted and she refused to review the info. She ordered evaluations from therapists and refused to read reports. She had numerous private conversations with attorneys but excluded parties in the case. She refused to follow proper rules or court.

This Judge seems completely incompetent. She has ZERO Knowledge of of laws and procedures, Sides with the KNOWN ABUSER, and punished the victims if god forbid they show any emotion. She punished me & my daughter simply because we followed HER previous order, then got mad when I shed a tear. She refused to look at the evidence provided, and each time we appeared in front of her, seemed to have no knowledge of the case or her own previous orders. She ordered evaluations from therapists, but won't take the reports seriously, and just keeps ordering more therapist, meanwhile, draining my money to keep my lawyer, and allowing our abuser to continue to abuse us. This woman should NOT be sitting behind the bench. Someone should take her license. the worst kind of judge, and not a representative for abused women and children, in a system that is supposed to protect us.
