Thomas judges out of respect and dignity

MERVET MITCHELL

I am writing regarding Judge Indu Thomas. I don’t want to ever be in court for anything, but unfortunately had that experience not too long ago. It involved a relative who is not mentally stable and the anxiety was high for my family.

Thomas handled the situation with a lot of dignity toward this person and truly gave them the respect of the court and the potential outcomes. I am always relieved when our legal system acts the way we hope others will respond to a loved one who is not “normal.”

Too often they are pushed aside and rushed out. Dignity is for all. And so is our legal system. Thank you, Judge Indu Thomas.
