Hon. Robert J. Jonker

United States District Court - Western District of Michigan

Grand Rapids, Michigan

Hon. Robert J. Jonker was appointed in July 2007 by President George W. Bush as a judge for the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan, succeeding Hon. Gordon J. Quist, who assumed senior status on January 1, 2006. Before taking the bench, he practiced commercial and environmental litigation for 20 years with the law firm of Warner, Norcross, & Judd, LLP, and was listed in "The Best Lawyers in America" for business litigation. His work included cases at all levels of the Michigan courts and at all levels of the federal courts throughout the country. Judge Jonker graduated summa cum laude from the University of Michigan Law School, where he was Order of the Coif. Immediately following law school, he worked for two years as a law clerk for Hon. John Feikens of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan

Jonker is responsible for dismissing the Beal Family's lawsuit against Havenwyck Hospital after the Beal's refused the offer of a $50,000 to settle. He had been calling it the Clockwork Orange case, then dismissed the case because he claims that Ms. Beal and her 11 year old son gave informed consent to do the covert taping. Ms. Beal was court ordered to sign all necessary releases by Antrim Probate Judge Norman Hayes the day they locked her little boy up for 21 months of his childhood and the 11 year old stated during deposition that the signature on the consent for treatment was not his and his mother also said that it looked like the counselors writing.

The expert witness for Havenwyck was going to fly up from Florida. He was an "expert" in the treatment of youthful offenders with aversion therapy and was the head of some sex offender task force. He wasspecially appointed by none other than Jeb Bush. Nothing going on here, folks.
