Rating:3.1
Comments:
Rubber stamps the government and even copies the language straight from their briefs. Has no opinion of his own, is simply a tool for the government.

Comments:
He dismisses the orders of his superiors in the Third Circuit Court and dispenses his own version of justice.

Prosecutor

Comment #: 12900
Rating:2.3
Comments:
Makes the criminals he sentences look like good guys. The only thing he likes about being a judge is the abuse he bestows on the litigants.

He is not too bad.

Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: 5205
Rating:3.2
Comments:
The single most inflexible jurist I have encountered in 30 years of practice. Form over substance prevails at all levels of litigation. Rude to both litigants and their attorneys.
