Illanois corrupt judge John Dalton

This Judge John G, Dalton in Elgin Illinois, is SO VERY CORRUPT!!! He has handed out gag orders like candy to children when someone tries to speak publicly about the illegal unconstitutional and immoral acts he does in his court room. (Gag orders passed out to protect the guilty and leaving victims open to further victimization with NO way out) We personally know of AT LEAST two cases that he has knowingly and purposefully handed custody of children under 8 years old to men he has knowledge, and proof of being abusers. He has made attorneys fear him so much they refuse to represent a client, if their case is before this corrupt Judge. Several cases that we know of personally. His husband (yes his husband) runs a family center in DuPage County where he sends people from his court room to  counseling and supervised visitation with children among other  things. This is a conflict of intrest? It’s a guaranteed steady stream of income for his husbands business that he himself benefits from. One would think that the one place he and his husband earn income from would be excluded from people before him in his court room but that is not the case. This Judge thinks he is untouchable. He is buddies with Illinois State Governor Jay Robert Pritzker. This is the same state Governor that removed toilets from his massive multimillion dollar manson so he could claim it was condemned and would pay only a tiny fraction of the property tax he owed the state. Yes this governor and this judge are well versed in Illinois pay to play corruption, well oiled machine politics. The illegal crapstorm is so full of political bull shit that you can smell it world wide.

This man does not belong in a courtroom, especially Family Court where children are involved. When it comes to fathers struggling he is quick to call the sheriff and jail people instead of doing what most family court judges do, they help the situation so everyone involved works together instead of creating hate which this judge is full of. It's sad Kane County continues to let this half man ruin the families that stand before him.

Pro man, against all women. Abusive in the courtroom. Never follows own orders and threatens litigants with "Draconian" laws and jail time.

He blatantly discriminates against women. It’s shocking that he is allowed to proceed with such widespread discrimation.
He is unprofessional, irrational and unqualified to be a judge.

While I'm facing an OOP from an abusive ex who is trying to punish me for insisting that I be able to pick our daughter up from school I'm optimistic. My ex lies, doesn't like to follow court orders etc. First time in court, judge caught ex in a lie and scolded him, He also noticed that when he told my ex to do something that he was refusing and he verbally scolded him. My ex was told that this time if my visit didn't happen he would take that into consideration.

While my ex was pushing for a trial and to put our child on the stand the judge was irritated that my ex was so adamant about forcing our daughter to witness against me.

You can’t rate 0. I too echo everyone else’s comments 100%- seen and heard all of it. Gee, any coincidence here. Judge Dalton must go. He is a disgrace, to say the least. Being recently informed that he is the only family judge as well as the only judge in Kane County who hears orders of protection- what on earth? Are you kidding me? How did this man get elected in the first place? Why won’t anyone remove this man? He does whatever the hell he wants and gets a thrill out of harassing victims of domestic abuse. Further, he promotes continued abuse through his biased, shitty, fly by the seat of his pants rulings. People are livid especially when their children’s lives are at stake and being abused as a result. He loves to go on and on about his credentials and being on the board of the Community Crisis Center, acting as if he knows everything about abuse and victims of abuse. It’s all a show for votes. He doesn’t do anything with it nor does he care nor does he know the first thing about victims of abuse nor about raising children since he doesn’t have any.

This man doesn't understand anything about being fair. Our lawyer has even heard him say "f*** the constitution. That s***'s outdated." He doesn't care about the law. He doesn't care about evidence. He picks a side on each court date, and nothing the other person can say or do is right. What's worse, is that he changes sides every time people go to court! It was horrible waiting in fear, because today he may be on your opponents side, just because of the mood he was in. I've never in my life, seen a judge who is as unpredictable, unfair, and despised as much as Judge Dalton is.

Racist, letting white men be late years and African Americans and Mexicans put in jail for a week behind. He also sets thousands of dollars bails for only a few hundred dollars owed. He is known for debtors jail even when cause to be behind. He is teaching Elizabeth Flood who to hate as he does. He does not follow the law or the State Attorney and disrespects the State Attorney openly in court. He looks for sympathy from all in his courtroom who he has harmed by talking about his personal life woes and looking for sympathy when he is a heartless and intentionally cruel to others. It almost seems sociopathic how he feels so much for himself and so little for others. He is a disgrace to Kane County.

Dalton gets joy out of harassing lawyers and litigants alike. He doesn't look at facts or evidence in determining his ruling and frequently will state "I enforce my orders" but everyone who has ever been in his court room knows that he only enforces monetary orders. Any other parenting order issues will not be addressed other than a mocking lecture. He lets his contempt known for the litigant he just chooses he doesn't like, whether its because he doesn't like their eye color, hair color, or skin color, he just chooses to not like someone and all the evidence in the world will never change his ruling or opinion on the legal subject matter. He's moody. He's rude. He's an absolutely disgusting judge. Probably the worst I've ever seen in 10 years of practicing in Kane County. He needs to be removed from the bench and sanctioned. He should never be allowed in a court room again. And in my opinion his actions equate abuse towards the individuals that stand before him looking for justice, fairness and help with a conflict. He just makes the conflict worse. And he knows it. And enjoys it.

Kane County residents should be embarassed for appointing this man. He is more concerned with discussing his personal life in the courtroom than he is actually giving the consideration needed to the case in front of him. Uses emotion and personal bisses to decide case outcomes rather than facts and evidence. Even questions why he made pervious orders in cases such as "i had ruled on this before and then ruled again later. Why did I do that?" Also clearly has favorite attorneys. If your attorney is not one of his preferred attorneys he will rule against you the entire case. Does not follow court procedures. If he is low on patience or sick of your case he will not hear your arguement or evidence and just rule. I witnessed an attorney ask for a 3 day trial. Judge Dalton said he would give 1 day. When that 1 day wasn't enough he admonished the attorney for not asking for multiple days. Then when he ruled on the case he said in his ruling that maybe if the trial had more time the full extent of evidence could have been presented and changed the outcome. He is on record stating he just wants to push cases through the system, and that is shown. If a party is indigent he will not only hold them to a lower standard of behavior in the court room and life but he will rule in protection of their behavior, thus hurting the children living in the impoverished conditions. He should be investigated for his inconsisitency, lack of respect, clear personal biases and absolute disregard for procedure.

Doesn't make it an easy court room visit. Maybe he should remember he is human like everyone who stands in front of him. Disrespectful to lawyers and make people feel be littled. My advice is look into his style. He is in divorce court... Not people's court. Bring on December 2018. Someone who doesn't have children should not run a court room that deals with children

Judge John Dalton ignores the extremely important evidence that is placed before him. He is very biased. He just gave custody of my daughter to a man who stood in his court room saying he couldn't afford to feed our daughter. There is a 604(b) psychological evaluation going on in the household that he placed my daughter in, due to another custody battle that is occurring in the house, with allegations of neglect and abuse. He ignored the allegations that her father didn't take my daughter to the doctor, even though she was sick for five weeks. We also told the judge that my daughter said that she can't stand the fighting in the house. The "man" has no right being a judge.

He is a terrible person, he allowed my daughter to be placed with her abusive father while I work instead of allowing me to place her at a daycare center run by family at no cost to her father.

This judge has an unfortunate inability to consider legal arguments beyond those that he has thought of himself. He is far too glib with comments that can be taken as offensive and/or biased. Not recommended.
