Now a family court judge.
The Judge takes the bench on time, listens carefully, is always offering to do hearing to resolve disagreements, and is willing to make his team available to assist the people in litigation.
Very fair. Requires preparation—demonstrates patience with unprepared lawyers to avoid embarrassing them, but is clear that the people who are in litigation deserve dignity, respect, and capable representation.
