ex-husband hadn’t seen daughter in 12 years (she is now 15). in his motion he cited due to substance misuse issues and legal issues. requests reunification therapy and child support modification. during MOTION HOUR my attorney objected to the request of reunification therapy and insisted upon a hearing. judge Johnson denied a hearing and approved the motion. not one question asked. just, he is the father so he has rights. now I have a 15yr old teenage girl in complete distress and panic and I’m responsible for paying for therapy that I completely disagree with, doing all of the transporting, and dealing with all the emotion distress that her lack of concern for my child’s wellbeing has caused. Fairness & Impartiality: My child was not treated fairly in this judgment. there should have been a hearing to discuss the possibility of reunification therapy between both parties. Timeliness: I guess her decision was extremely punctual however with such a big decision should have come more time and consideration. not just, get off my docket and let someone else deal with this issue.

★★☆☆☆ Verified attorney

Legal Knowledge: Struggles but more knowledgeable than others in Louisville Fairness & Impartiality: Easily manipulated. Do not make her 😡 Communication: Unclear - let’s attorneys control court

This LAZYYYY ass bitch is completely WORTHLESS!!! She’s NEVER prepared for motion hours or hearings simply because she’s too damn LAZYYY and incompetent. This POS is RUINING the lives of families and children. God see’s what you’re doing (or NOT doing for that matter!) I know your momma raised you better!!!) I know Ms. Ruth did NOT teach you to be so LAZYYYY!!! Do your damn job. According to your 1.0 rating, which I don’t see changing EVER, I think I’d be looking for another job. There’s NO WAY people are going to re-elect your lazy ass!!! I’ve never seen someone who takes their job SOOOOO less serious than you do yourself, Johnson! Makes ya wonder what kind of WORTHLESS wife & mother she is if she’s THIS lazy at her job. I bet your house is DISGUSTING & your husband is disgusted with YOU because you’re SOOOO damn lazy to even clean or cook (but you DEFINITELY be getting those meals in, no doubt about that). Your poor husband and kid!! I bet they’re SO ashamed & disgusted with you and I guarantee you Ms. Ruth is too! You’re a complete disgrace to Louisville. I’d be thinking of another way to earn a living because being a judge is just NOT your thing, honey. It takes HARD work and you just DON’T have it. Maybe join a gym and get your metabolism going so you have the energy to do what YOU’RE paid to do!! Communication: HA!! Seriously?! She takes FOREVER to make a ruling and her rulings always make ZERO sense. ZERO COMMUNICATION….like she’s THAT busy! 🙄Well, maybe she is too busy trying to be a tic-tok influencer like her little buddies or too busy eating or texting while on the bench DURING a hearing! She doesn’t even have a clue what she’s making a ruling on because she’s too lazy to review first. Wish I could give a zero for ALL these categories!! Look forward to all the other negative reviews she’ll be receiving! How’d she even get voted in as a judge?! Get her off the bench!! Lazy!! I’ve had 4 attorneys tell me, “she’s unpredictable, you NEVER know with her, she doesn’t follow the law (hence Matt Bevins) and your ruling will depend on what side of the bed she wakes up on that day (and I’m SURE her lazy ass sleeps all day too)…:but the ruling will take her about 9-12 months or LONGER because she’s LAZY AF, so don’t get in a hurry.” I see why so many say that now and why SO many attorneys cannot stand her and cannot STAND to be in front of her in a courtroom, including GAL’s, attorneys and FOC’s!!!! Bottom line, you’re gonna lose in the end because you’re unfair and unjust and God sees it all. Your days as a privileged judge are numbered! I personally couldn’t live with myself if I were a judge like yourself. Legal Knowledge: LAZY! LAZY! LAZY! I can’t even say it enough!! Doesn’t even bother to read motions or affidavits BEFORE hearing or motion hour, ALWAYS unprepared and completely BIAS!!! She doesn’t deserve a seat on the bench! And tbh, idek how she passed law school much less was elected as a judge, as LAZY as she is!!!! It’s UNBELIEVABLE how long this bitch takes to make a simple ruling!! Like what else are you doing besides sitting on the couch eating?! It’s definitely NOT working I can promise you that!! It’s time for her to GO!! Go listen in on her motion hours. It’s a joke! She doesn’t think she has to obey the law, hence the Matt Bevins case. 😂😂 That dude wanted her to recuse herself (like everyone else does because she’s LAZY and SUCKS as a judge) and she refused because of POWER but look who won and rightfully so. NOT HER!!! I don’t blame him! She thinks she has more power than she actually does! She’s SO friggin bias but even more, she is LAZY and worthless and can be easily paid off and REPLACED!! A 6 year old could do better than her!! Seriously!! All attorneys would agree! She makes rulings that are ridiculous, which is why she is constantly being taken to the KY Court of Appeals and ALWAYS loses!! 😂Peace out AJ! You SUCK! If you don’t get impeached first, 2032 will be your last days of sitting on the bench & you deserve it! You’re better off working in a local grocery store because you certainly don’t obey the law & don’t deserve a seat on the bench!! PERIOD!! You don’t listen to the advice of the the GAL’s you assign to cases. PATHETIC!!! What’s the point in appointing a GAL if you totally ignore their recommendations?? No one wants to work with someone like that. And NO ONE says a single nice thing about you. I mean, look at your reviews. Furthermore, take a step back and look at your reputation from your reviews!!! It’ll be hard to come back from but you deserve EVERYTHING you get! Fairness & Impartiality: She’s the most BIAS and LAZY judge I’ve ever been in front of!!! We can’t wait to never have to see her face again!! She’s an embarrassment to the city of Louisville! And LAZYYYYY AF!!! I can’t say that loud enough! She completely disregards what the GAL’s recommendations are that SHE appoints and it’s obvious! Everyone sees it at this point! Whose side are you on, anyway? The child’s side (and GAL who has been appointed for them) or your own bias opinion?!?! Think about that for a second. BOTTOM LINE: YOU ARE HORRIBLE! I bet your mom moved out of KY to disassociate herself with your lowlife name. Don’t blame her. And your brother, what’s he think about your laziness?! 😂Truth is hard to hear at times but THIS is the TRUTH about you! Not sorry!!!! Judicial Temperament: LAZY to say the least, bias, ALWAYS unprepared for court, worthless, NEVER EVER reads motions before motion hour and doesn’t follow the law and thinks she can do whatever she wants, which is why attorneys have their own little “nickname” for her, which is very fitting for sure!! And why she ALWAYS loses in the KY Court of Appeals!!! She THINKS she has the final say. WRONG, sista! Think again! BTW, you CAN’T dance so stop embarrassing yourself with all your little corrupt tic-tok judge friends in your little tic-tok videos. Y’all are pathetic and look SO unprofessional!! You ALL need to GROW UP and set an example!!!! You’re FAR from being (and esp looking) like young people at this point!! Here’s a thought…… INSTEAD, DO YOUR JOB….according to the LAW!!! THINK ABOUT WHAT’S IN THE CHILDS BEST INTEREST! LISTEN TO YOUR GAL’s!!!! You’re seriously NO ONE special and you put your pants on the same way everyone else does and will answer to the EXACT same God everyone else answers to. Didn’t you learn that in church?!?! Didn’t momma Ruth teach you that?! What you reap, you WILL sow!! Guarantee that! Watch and see! I’m eager to see myself!! Timeliness: HAHA! Is this real life?! Does she even know what that means?! Completely PATHETIC!!! I had a CPS worker tell me she’s been waiting TWO years on a ruling from this so called “judge.” What an embarrassment to our city! DO YOUR JOB! You are NOT that busy and you’re ruining lives and relationships with children and their parents, which will come back on YOU. You have your own kids, right? Didn’t momma Ruth teach you that is Biblical?! WHAT YOU REAP, you WILL SOW!!! Who the heck was dumb enough to even vote you in??!! I bet that’ll NEVER happen again. Peace out AJ!
