One of the best district judges on the bench, hands down. He is even-handed, honest, fair, and highly intelligent. He has handled almost every type of case as both a litigator and a judge. It is a pleasure to appear before him. No egotistic games or tyrannical courtroom antics. I can't say enough positive things about this judge. He is as good as it gets.
