Bankruptcy trials have many different individuals that contribute to the process. Although the judge acts like a referee, your bankruptcy attorney in Fair Oaks is the only one that is looking out for your best interests. The justice system is designed to assign dedicated, thoughtful bankruptcy judges to adequately and fairly balance the competing interests. Obviously, some are better than others and yet, there are judges that are absolutely awful. They are biased and some even have agendas but luckily, rulings by bankruptcy judges can be reviewed by other federal judges and sometimes even the US Supreme Court.
Unlike other federal jurists, bankruptcy judges are not appointed for life. They must be reappointed every 14 years. Recently, many well-respected judges were denied reappointment because creditor groups lobbied power, claiming the judges were too sympathetic to debtors. This has weighed significantly on the judges and consequently alters their ruling which directly impacts you. Regardless, few judges allow outside influences to color their decision-making. So although the judge may not be entirely objective, it is nothing to stress over. You will most likely not even see the judge who handles your case. The other individuals can usually resolve issues through negotiations and settlement. But feel reassured in knowing that if anything fails, you can always take it to the judge and make a federal case of it.
