Honorable Patricia M Summe

"I am incredibly grateful to have had Judge Summe preside over my time in Kenton County Drug Court. From the very beginning, she has been more than just a judge—she has been a beacon of hope, a source of unwavering support, and a guide through one of the most challenging periods of my life. Judge Summe embodies everything that a judge should be and so much more. Her approach is not just about enforcing the law; it’s about genuinely uplifting and empowering those who come before her. She has an extraordinary ability to balance accountability with compassion, ensuring that every individual is given the tools and encouragement they need to succeed. Her guidance extends far beyond the courtroom. Even after completing the program, Judge Summe has continued to offer support and remind me of my strength and potential. Her belief in my ability to change my life has been instrumental in my recovery journey. If you’re looking for a judge who is fair, kind, and truly dedicated to the betterment of the people she serves, Judge Summe is that person. She has not only changed my life but has undoubtedly transformed the lives of many others. I am forever thankful for her wisdom, compassion, and tireless dedication."

"I would give zero stars if I could less than zero negative the fact that the word honorable appears before her name is a joke. This woman is not honorable she is hateful and should not be in a position of power. She is biased especially against those with substance use disorder and wastes tax payers money by putting people in jail for weeks, delaying their trial just to prove a point that they are worthless and deserve to be punished. Can someone please expose this woman for what she is a complete fraud and a horrible human."

"I only gave one star because you have to in order to post a review! In my opinion, she deserves no stars! Never in my life have I encountered a more biased, incompetent and obvious disregard for the facts and truth than this judge and woman! She is doing our county, state and country a huge injustice and I pray to God everyday that others recognize this and come to their senses and get this woman OFF THE BENCH! She doesn’t deserve to be in a courtroom let alone running one!!! She is putting innocent people behind bars when she’s the one that should be in jail!!! If you are in agreement, please post your thoughts and experiences as well! We must take a stand and it has to start somewhere... so I’m starting here!"
