Exposing Clark County Family Court Depart. Y Applicants for the Nevada Judicial Selection Commission

Exposing Clark County Family Court Depart. Y Applicants for the Nevada Judicial Selection Commission

 

Clark County Nevada

January 5, 2025

This article aims to encourage Nevada Voters to attend the Nevada Judicial Commission interviews on Friday, January 24, 2025, at the Nevada Supreme Court 408 East Carson Avenue and voice their opposition or send a letter to the commission.

Six Applicants that would like to fill a vacancy in Family Court Department Y, Vacated by Judge Stephanie Charter:

They are as follows:

Paul M. Gaudet

Melvin Grimes

Jason Stoffel

Emily McFarling

Nicholas Petsas

Adriana White

 

According to the Nevada Constitution:

Under the Nevada Constitution, Article 6, Section 20, the Nevada Judicial Selection Commission must submit at least three nominees to the governor when a judicial vacancy arises. The governor then selects one of the nominees to fill the vacancy.

This process ensures that the governor has multiple qualified options while maintaining the integrity and impartiality of the judicial selection process. If fewer than three applicants are deemed qualified, the commission may request additional applications or take other measures to meet the requirement.

So, we are here to help the Nevada Judicial Commission remove half the names from the list.

If any of the following names make it out of the appointment process, Veterans In Politics will do everything possible to ensure they lose their retention in the 2026 election.

Let’s start:

 

Jason Stoffel:

Jason P. Stoffel, 47, has attempted an appointment because he cannot win an election. He couldn’t even beat Family Court Judge Vincent Ochoa even after giving Veterans In Politics information on Judge Ochoa’s son’s arrest for robbing a balloon store with a knife. His employee, Melvin Grimes, opposes him for the same appointment.

In 2017, Stoffel was named in a legal malpractice lawsuit by Russell Zitch. He alleged negligence and breach of fiduciary duty (see Russell Zitch to discuss the corruption of family court judicial candidate Jason Stoffel on VIP Talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgJE9z5paVA&t=392s).

In 2014, Stoffel lost against Judge Vincent Ochoa.

In 2020, Stoffel lost against Judge Nadin Cutter.

Stoffel has applied for an appointment numerous times.

Stoffel is a poor communicator.

Stoffel has no children and cannot relate to litigants.

Stoffel doesn’t even recognize his wife, Family Court Attorney Amanda Roberts, in any of his campaigns, as if he was embarrassed by her.

Stoffel had a physical altercation against Judge Ochoa at a Family Law Conference.

One of the criteria for being appointed is winning your election, and Stoffel has proven that he cannot win.

 

Paul Gaudet:

Look who is trying to get reappointed after losing an election: Paul M. Gaudet, 59.

Gaudet is arrogant and doesn’t deserve to sit on the family court bench. He lacks judicial temperment and knowledge of the law.

Let’s take a look at his resume while being on the bench:

Paul M. Gaudet was appointed to the Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Division, Department N, in March 2023 by Governor Joe Lombardo. 

Paul M. Gaudet, a judge in Nevada’s Eighth Judicial District Court, Family Division, has had several decisions overturned on appeal. Notable cases include:

  • Termination of Parental Rights Case: In September 2024, the Nevada Supreme Court reversed Judge Gaudet’s decision to terminate a father’s parental rights. The court found that Gaudet misapplied Nevada statutes and disregarded substantial evidence, leading to an unjust termination. 
  • Child Custody Case: In August 2024, the Nevada Court of Appeals overturned Judge Gaudet’s temporary custody orders. The appellate court cited his improper reliance on California law, which it deemed a manifest abuse of discretion. 

It’s worth noting that Kerri Maxey defeated him on November 5, 2024, during the special general election for the position of Department N. 

One of the criteria for getting appointed is the ability to win an election. Gaudet has already embarrassed the Nevada Selection Commission and the Governor. He is ready for punishment as he tries to get appointed once again.

Melvin Grimes:

Melvin Grimes, 58, from Henderson, is a senior attorney at Roberts Stoffel Family Law Group.

Grimes, in opposition against his boss Jason Stoffel for the same seat.

Grimes has no loyalty to anyone.

Grimes took on a case, Loftus vs. Hall, where the mother, Vannesa Loftus, caused the death of her son Isreal; she was arrested and convicted and is a known felon. She also resides with another known felon, which is against the Nevada Revised Statutes not to engage with another known felon.

Well, Grimes took this case pro bono in support of the mother who is convicted of negligent homicide. He took this case against the father of Army veteran Burke Hall simply because he was associated with Veterans In Politics.

Then, he tried to charge Hall $16,000 for legal expenses when he took the case pro bono, which means free legal service.

Grimes is a simple-minded individual who is motivated by revenge.

None of these three attorneys should ever be allowed to wear the rob and be identified as a judge.
