What can you do if you don't like the judges decision?

Lots of money and a crooked lawyer usually settles such a situation.\n\nIn the event that you feel it was a miscarriage of justice you can always get a lawyer and have it reviewed by a higher court. Just because someone is a judge don't think for a minute that they are fair, it has been my experience that it is all about political motivation or the almighty $$$$$ DOLLAR $$$$$. Best of luck.

All INjustice systems need serious change: they need to be gotten rid of.\nPrivate arbitration is the way to go if you want to fight the rampant corruption of our clearly dishonourable judges. Under the public system, everyone is forced to pay for a lousy service from judges who know the government places them above us "commoners" (and the law).\nLook up arbitration and see for yourself how it works. Then think about how it would apply to different disputes, especially to problems you've had with the court system. Arbiters have to actually work for their living, and contrary to popular belief, that is what's honest, not stealing your living from The People.

I agree it is going to be tough. Since you feel they were inadequately represented I would check into the appeal process. It is possible to get a worse punishment after the appeal so weigh this out carefully. I will pray for you.

If they aren't violating any laws but are still harassing you, file a restraining order against harassment on them. If the judge finds in your favor, they can be arrested for violating his orders. Judges might not care so much about you getting harassed but they *hate* it when people violate their orders..

Get a lawyer(you don't have a choice),plan on spending a lot of time in court.\nThe best advice I can give you is accept that you screwed up BIGTIME.Don"t try to get over because the court has already seen anything you could come up with.Just do what the judge tells you to do in a timely fashion.\nYou're going to have to take a big bite of that s... sandwich,but as long as you don't start telling them what you will and will not do(biggest mistake you can make)you should come out o.k.Just accept that it's not going to be a lot of fun for a while and try to think positive.

I don't think there is any limitation to a judges power in regard to contempt. You'd have to get another judge to overrule him(her), and that's not likely.

You have a lawyer who is familiar with the facts, the history of the case, and what your local judge(s) are likely to do.  Ask his/her what your options are and what his/her advice is.  \n\nIf you don't understand the advice, say so.  If you disagree with it, consult another attorney for a second opinion.  If both attorneys more or less agree, accept it and move on with your life.

Go back to the same court that issued the judgment.  You  can ask the judge for a writ of garnishment, or a lien placed on any real property that the person owns.

Here's another thing to think about...while some judges CAN be bought, they aren't even the real problem. The philosophy for being a judge is to have no political affiliate, to be fair and impartial, to listen to the merits of each case seperately and as presented. But some judges, especially a couple of new Supreme Court Justices, do not feel the need to represent the law, leaving their political views outside their courtrooms. Worse than one crooked judge in a million, is the zealot who believes it is his or her responsibility to "fix" what he or she believes is wrong in the world - and now has the power to do that! Scary stuff.

you will have to go to court, tell the judge you can't find one, and one should be appointed.

Indeed, very dangerous. Judges are intended to interpret the law but have been using their power to create the law. That is very bad. Impeachment or recall are the only real options for activist judges.

The word is "appeal" if you're convicted. Then write a book about it. It happens a lot. The main thing judges say is "ignorance of the law is not a defense to breaking the law." In front of a judge alone, you may be up the creek, but there's always a chance if you appeal to get a jury. Human Error is something jury's can relate to easily, we are all human after all.

Take the pictures with you. Explain to the judge what happened. Don't argue or give any indication that you do other than worship the judge. Many have developed gigantic heads over the years and will give you a contempt of court citation on just a whim.\n\nA lot depends on where you are, and what type of person the judge hates.\n\nNever argue.

The judge will decide.\n\nCoach

Judges have the discretion of issuing sua sponte orders in circumstances where justice requires such orders. Sometimes a judge will recognize a situation that the lawyers don't and will rule accordingly. Other times, judges are just throwing their weight around and making it known to the litigants.

You cannot sue a judge just because you disagree with his rulings.  IF a judge truly is biased, then attorneys have avenues of getting that judge removed from the case, but not by sueing them.  You sue someone for money you have lost (or things along those lines).\n\nChances are, the judge is NOT biased, just that you see the situation differently than him.
