rigid, aggressive, doesn't conduct matters fairly, all-around unpleasant interaction to be had with him; ratings above were so that not all 1's would be given. "Awful" is fitting. He seems burned out with his job and should retire or change careers. Also, when you have a record of bad behavior yourself that has come to light, you should not be allowed to serve as a judge any longer. Trying to have your spouse's traffic ticket is dismissed by a colleague is dirty business and there is no place for that in the judicial system.

Awful. Does not read any of the papers. Does not consult the law. Bias. Has no patience and is unreasonably harsh.
Doesn't bother to rule on all requests before him. Run as fast and as far away as possible if you are assigned this judge.

The WORST! Evidence means nothing to him. He is bias against women too. I don’t even think he knows anything about any case and doesn’t even show interest in the case befor him. Yawns and keeps watching the clock.
Actual numbers mean nothing to him. He makes up his own scenario, issues his judgement, then leaves the courtroom without even explaining how his rendered judgement can be met.
HORRIBLE! He shouldn’t be allowed to sit on the seat he does.

Completely agree biased against men! Told the story to the investigator and it was not passed along how horrible the mother was. Judge made up his own income for father and imputed him with triple the child custody cost. He also never explained why he can’t see his kids 50/50 if the investigator testified both parents are fit! Do not use him. He uses his own personal bias to judge cases.

By far the worse judge ever, he is super bias and all for the males and SUPER lazy!!! Doesn't read anything in the case! This judge does not understand anything and he threatens to send your kids to foster care all the time, for no reason. I don't think he's gonna learn anything until a child or parent dies under his watch and orders.

This judge is biased against men, doesn't speak English very well, and couldn't even read the order properly. If you have a serious case, bump this judge.
