Sample Lawyer comments:
  • "Completely incompetent. Sadly, it really is not possible to put into words how totally unqualified she is as a judge."
  • "Her knowledge of the law is atrocious, especially considering how long she's been a judge. She is the worst judge in Pierce County by a very long shot."
  • "Generally has a good demeanor, but can demonstrate a lack of courtesy and respect at times. She has improved recently."
  • "Watching her rule on an issue is like a tennis match: She keeps going back and forth. It's exasperating. She's very pleasant, and that's nice, but that isn't the primary attribute to seek in a judge."
  • "Her demeanor unfortunately sometimes leads to people feeling like they weren't given a fair shake. In general, Judge Grant is fair, and tries hard to be fair, but you get a different impression."
Judge's response:

"I am honored to serve the citizens of Pierce County as a sitting judge since 2003. Decision-making is a serious responsibility that I respect. I believe in rendering decisions that are consistent, fair and just in accordance with the law. I thank my fellow citizens for their continued support."
