[Redacted] He pretends he is the smartest judge in the world and runs his court room as a place to bully people. Most of his decisions are very questionable [redacted]. If you have case in is court room against a corrupt bank and a set of corrupt lawyers good luck to you and god bless you. He will find a way to screw you. Even if the case Is really black and white

My father was the president of the ABA in Louisiana. Appointmented by LBJ to the bench. He was a WWII hero. Fought at Midway as a Marine pilot. As i grew up, i learned how tough he was on the Japanese and other enemies and me. But you took pleasure in killing that old ladies cat. Have you the ability to do anything manly or compassionately. Rescue was possible and you had a Hold Harmless agreement. My father would've had you removed. You disgust me.

Another reviewer aptly said it that Judge Hanzman has a terrible judicial temperament and needs to dial down the self-importance. I have seen him threaten litigants with criminal contempt and jail without due process procedures and issuance of a show cause order and appointment of a prosecutor. Best to not provoke him as the bee sting in him comes out. That said he is quick to understand issues and attempts to scam him with bogus issues and arguments.

One of the best Judges I have ever seen. He is bright, hard working, and fair. It is hard to ask for more than that.

This judge has a terrible judicial temperament. Although relatively bright, he really needs to dial down the self-importance and learn how to treat people with respect and dignity.
