This judge believed in me! My attorney did such a lousy job that I wrote a request for review and this judge heard it! He had seen me go through over a year of nonsense.

He assigned me a WRIT attorney and after 2.5 years it was dismissed! A man who still believes in the legal principals upon which we were founded!

They should all be this just and fair and allow true equal ability to obtain justice!

Very biased judge; definitely pro prosecution. Favors/relies on prosecution in an extremely discriminatory manner. On a personal level, he is very arrogant and condescending. Do yourself a favor and paper him. Just a really bad judge to have to deal with and appear before.
