Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: 32911
Rating:9.2
Comments:
Had a complex matter before him. Handled oral argument very professionally. Gave both sides opportunity to be heard. Seems very cerebral and seems to enjoy the intellectual rigor of a complex case. An asset to the bench.

Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: 24035
Rating:9.8
Comments:
The kind of judge that litigators love. Judge McHugh will make the effort to know as much about the facts and law of the case as the lawyers involved but allows the lawyers to try their case. Smart, energetic, in control but not overbearing. Excellent jurist.
