Comments:
Easy to be in front of as a lawyer. Pretty good on substance. Not afraid to make a ruling.

Civil Litigation - Private

Rating:1.0
Comments:
Ignores well settled precedent. Finds ways to dismiss a case if he is unfamiliar with law. If he wants the case dismissed, he will rule for the other party on a SJ in order to close the case from his docket even when facts and law are adverse to granting SJ. Extremely bias.

Rules contrary to well settled precedent. Bias to government entities. Will find ways to dismiss a case when he is unfamiliar with State statutes and law. This judge should recuse himself when he knows he is unfamiliar with law and statutes instead of wrongfully dismissing a case.

Comments:
Extremely conservative, pro-business and anti-consumer judge.

Demonstrates extremely high bias against consumer litigants - and for big business.

He cannot handle even remotely complex cases. He just finds a way to dismiss them to get them off of his docket.

This judge gets very upset, and takes it out on litigants, when his lack of knowledge regarding federal and state law is questioned or challenged.

He always takes a conservative view of everything, and will not make the right decisions even when given a plethora of relevant case law and/or precedent that shows his views to be contrary to the established case law in this state and circuit (and others).

Thoughtful and deliberate, he takes the time to understand complex issues and render well-reasoned decisions. Considerate of counsel.

Absolutely first-rate trial and motion judge. Scholarly and gives ample consideration to matters disputes that are not big dollar cases.
