Judge chambers is a corrupt judge. Uneducated at best. I myself can prove she violates peoples 4th amendment as well as allowing hear say in court. It’s nothing new though she is well known for that. The courthouse needs to step up an disbar her.

Honestly a complete joke. Call one office to get info on your case and they transfer you to another office. One office will tell you you need one thing and the other office will tell you you need something else. They overcharge for copies and if they screw up and give you the wrong copies, you're expected to pay for their incompetency by paying (again) for the copies you actually need. And yes, you will pay for everything because they are so behind that minimal is available online. They will schedule you at one time but if things on another case change, they'll adjust and get you in sooner than scheduled, even without your attorney present. If you can get your venue changed, do it!!!

Rob Stratton lets a rapist walk free in 2022. Turned into 2 sexual assaults at NMU. Absolutely disgusting work, let's elect a prosecutor who cares about protecting his community. "As a husband and father I am dedicated to protecting our citizens and serving justice." You should prosecute and charge to protect your community, not protect rapists.
