Unpredictable. Avoid Essex Probate and Family Court. There is a very corrupt operation happening in this court. The judge appointed an attorney with conflict of interests, but luckily recused herself, having to ask for 11 restraining order extensions in 5 years, the judge allowed illegally obtained medical records, and your hearing time always means you will be in court until 4pm waiting to heard. Guaranteed that this court will be unpredictable.

You do not want to EVER go here. This is a horrible place. They sometimes decide that you have lived on your own enough and throw you into this huge group home that has armed guards. If you enjoy S&M, this may be the place for you, otherwise, stay clear.
