Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: 33353
Rating:8.0
Comments:
Judge Boasberg manages his docket superbly and his decisions are enjoyable to read. However, he runs his court room as though he is a DC Superior Court judge: he allows badly behaved attorneys to behave badly and the case runs like a circus.

Rating:10.0
Comments:
A consummate professional, very conscientious, intelligent and even-handed. Uniformly courteous to counsel and litigants in his courtroom. Frequently enters orders following a hearing before I can get back to my office.

Extremely even handed and fair. Is very smart but not arrogant. Fair and works hard to get the right result.His standing rule on discovery disputes sometimes short circuits reaching a good result.

Comments:
Judge Boasberg is smart, well-prepared, and has a single aim: reaching the right result. On any motion or trial, large or small, you must be ready to appear before him. He is congenial and has a sense of humor, as well as a good judicial temperament, but he is ready to address the issues and get them right, so be sure to prepare well. He is a top-notch judge.
