    I was illegally evicted by Judge (deleted by editor) in the Yavapai Superior Court. I went to the Yavapai Superior Court for help to get a restraining order against my Landlord (I was harassed). Judge (deleted by editor) refused the restraining order and then Judge (deleted by editor) testified against me, against the law, and illegally evicted me, violating due process and protection of the law. He should be removed from the bench for breaking the law!
