Attorney comments

• "She is improving. She was very bad when she first got on the bench. She has gotten to the point where I no longer mind appearing in front of her."
• "Judge Grant is almost always very nice to those of us that appear in her courtroom but is completely unqualified to be a judge. She does not know the law. She often makes comments from the bench that are completely inappropriate and unprofessional."
• "I believe she is diligent and seeks the right result, although at times she is not prompt in rendering her decisions."
• "Judge Grant's ignorance of the law and insistence that things be done her way interferes with the administration of justice."

Judge's Response

"Serving as a judge is both a privilege and a serious responsibility. I am committed to providing equal access to justice for all members of the community regardless of their circumstance. I strive to be decisive, fair and firm with offenders while rendering justice in my courtroom."
