I won the case, but still filed a complaint. He was rude, overbearing, consistently interrupting, tried to order a clause that is against state and federal law. Should be removed from the bench and disbarred.

He is the devil!! So sad that he ruins lives. He should be disbarred. Should have been long long ago.
It’s a shame not many counseling want to go before him which means our state lets him bully humans. He bully’s lawyers, police, court staff etc.
The people in his judicial district have the right to have a non biased judge that is fair and has a heart.
He is ruthless!! I pray for him. I pray for the people in this district. If you aren’t his friend he hates you. He tells attorney he hates certain human a go before him. Pitiful pitiful he is.

Horrible judge. Has no regard for children safety or mental safety. Says unprofessional statements about a situation. Don't believe he reads all the evidence from doctors or therapist.

Another judge that has had numerous complaints that are ignored by the judiciary. If he wasn't so dangerous and had ruined so many lives he'd be a laughable parody of a judge.

He is just a mean Pearson. Tells a mother if she shakes her head again that she will never see her child again. Tells a mother that she has an EVIL face.
