Post-Covid there were many cases to be held. The judge decided that some cases didn't need to take up too much of his time as he denied every expert witness for the defense and stated that the prosecutor's witness described what occurred so no other witness was needed. A bastardization of justice and the prosecutor's witness is easily shown to be a habitual liar.

I sat in his courtroom for self education and I felt him to pretty good. Having sat in Federal Courts that are long, slow & boring, his was complete, handled all issues, didn't take to long and I think he was fair.

Judge Combo is one of the better judges in town. What I like best about him is, he is not afraid to offend one of the parties if he/she deserves it. In a recent family law case, he found the parent to be a habitual perpetrator of domestic violence and dealt with him firmly. Justice reigns in Judge Combo's courtroom.
