Many people don't know this, but you have the right to dismiss a judge from presiding over your case. This can be done by filing an affadavit of prejudice . You get one free chance with no questions asked as to why you want to have that judge dismissed.
Any requests afterward require a valid reason for dismissal.
A good reason to dismiss a judge would be if you've seen that person more than once. Unfortunately for us, we caught onto this too late. When we saw her again, we simply assumed that she was the only judge working for that office. We are now quite sure that this must be happening to other people. We filed a late affadavit to dismiss her, which was tossed back and forth between the Office of Administrative Hearings and Olympia, only to be denied after much wasted time.
