I got my notice for jury duty and began calling in daily to see if my group number was needed. Day…read morethree I was to report. I parked in the stadium lot P1 like the notice says. There's plenty of signs telling jurors where to park. I can't believe how many people parked in the wrong place and had to move their car. The summons has the lot address, everyone has a phone. Google it if you're not sure. I was able to check in outside online while waiting for the doors to open. A Sheriff instructed everyone to remove anything metal from their body before going through the metal detector. So many people didn't and this held up the line a bit. These are probably the same people that parked in the wrong lot. Once in the Juror room on the 3rd floor I took a Juror badge and took a seat. They had goodie bags, bottle water, coffee, and pastries since it was Jurors Appreciation Week. Before the orientation videos several judges look time from their courtroom to come to the jury assembly room to show their appreciation. Senator Umberg was also there. It was nice to see all these people. It was a slow day. Not many courtrooms needed jurors. My name wasn't called. Many of us were let go earlier than expected.

Richard mentioned there is a free parking lot behind the building, but I wasn't sure which one he meant, so I decided not to risk it and parked elsewhere. Overall, a very smooth experience thanks to the helpful staff!

The staff were professional, direct, and clearly knew what they were doing. The office itself was clean and organized, and the flow made sense.

He has a rare ability to clearly explain standard procedures so that members of the public can understand what to expect, all while remaining fully within the limits of his official role. In a place where the process can often feel intimidating, Mr. Brent communicates with patience and clarity, ensuring that everyone feels heard and respected. His demeanor reflects the highest standards of public service - courteous, knowledgeable, and professional at every step. Every courthouse would benefit from having someone like Mr. Brent. He demonstrates that it is possible to uphold the rules and responsibilities of the court while also making the experience approachable and understandable for the public. To Supervising Judge Palafox - Mr. Brent's service is exemplary and deserving of recognition. His commitment to professionalism and his respectful approach make him an outstanding asset to Lamoreaux.

The (judicial officer) of Glenn Mondo was mentioned on the paperwork. It probably was a fake to put me in fear. I was in FEAR of these terrible people. I was the one being attacked, a white biological female alone, by the perps/demons with direct energy weapons, Remote Neural Monitoring and only God knows what else! I love Christ Jesus too and they knew it. I was being tortured every single day, all day. 24/7. The tumult of iniquity (Psalm 64) was killing me and I was begging God for protection, not to mention numerous agencies, police. Only now in November 2024 am I able to start putting things together. There are judicial names rubber stamped on the "order" with a scribble for a name, so it does not look real. Different dates and names that do not jive. Glenn Mondo, ALAN CARLSON, M. SUCHY and J. WHITSON-RAUSCH. This has happened to me before, numerous times, and all they do is LIE when confronted with evidence, the proof to their lies and crimes. I need God Himself to help me, save me.

Do not allow him to preside over your case. The information below may be helpful…read more He is a commissioner not a judge. When you enter the courtroom the court clerk will ask you if you are okay for having a commissioner hear your case. Say "no" because that will allow you to have a real judge. If you do have Mondo hear your case you can ask to have a judge rehear your case within 14 days of Mondo's judgment. He shares at the end what his decision is and why, even if it is wrong and incorrect to the facts of the case you can't say anything more. He is right even when he is wrong. He will leverage anything you say, even if you have proof, against you. I know three white women who have had to move because they were not safe living where they were because he would not grant the restraining order. One even had video evidence of an aggression. He sets victims up to be further victimized because he empowers the perpetrators. He made his decision before he entered the court room. He cited a court case as his reasoning though the court case was not fitting to my situation (but I only learned this after the trial). A judge should be a blank slate when they come in. He is not. You probably also want to be in a court room where the court clerk isn't aggressing you for no reason. She is mean, rude, disrespectful and crass. You have to see it to believe it and it is totally unnecessary. Probably one of the most disrespectful females I have ever encountered in the course of my life. If you hire an attorney to represent you for the CHRO or RO and you prevail you can file a motion to recover your attorney fees. Have your attorney file the motion, but do not pay the attorney to go to the trial for the motion because it is too expensive and you don't need the attorney in the courtroom for the motion. He will likely only charge you 500 to file the motion. Then have the lawyer release you and make you "pro per se", which means you are then representing yourself. Mondo will grant attorney fees to the prevailing party for the RO/CHRO trial, but not attorney fees for filing the motion. Most people do not file a motion for attorney fees because the attorney fees for the motion are as expensive as the attorney fees for the CHRO/RO representation and makes recovery a moot point. If the defendant does not have money it may be difficult to recover the money. But you can file a writ of execution and get a levy to garnish wages, freeze accounts or get a lien on property. Including a car so long as the car is worth more than $3k. If you are the victim, and the defendant has an attorney and they prevail you could end up paying the perpetrators attorney fees. So you become a victim multiple times to the perpetrator. Mondo is empowering perpetrators in ways that are SICK. He is sick - sick with ego and power. He is destroying people's lives, not just the victim of the harassment, but everyone connected to that victim. Good luck to you.
