In over 60 years of litigation across this country I have seen few his equal. My experience was calm, courteous, knowledgeable evenhanded jurist. Great to try a case in his Court!

Comments:
Disrespectful, mocked the defendant in front of the jury. Was extremely biased and used his full judicial ability to cause harm to the defendant. Had a very short temper and yelled at my client multiple times.

Extremely fair, calm justice who was excellent at helping to settle a case. I had honestly forgot that there are judges who are highly competent. Would gladly try a case in front of him from either side of the aisle, plaintiff or defendant.

Was experienced trial attorney and it shows. Lets counsel try their case, interrupts rarely only to clarify testimony even handedly. Patient, courteous, friendly while remaining dignified. Knowleadgeable and diligent.
If only they could clone him.
