| 35775 | Other | No Rating | Incredibly thorough. Reads everything and doesn't sentence defendants just based off the governments narrative. Takes everything into account including the person and looks at each circumstance and each defendant as an individual ...Read More | 03/03/2025 03:41 PM | |
| 30601 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | I like to write reviews that actually help lawyers when dealing with a judge, not as something designed to bad-mouth a judge.

| 25677 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | His treatment of attorneys is often beyond the pale. I witnessed his attacks on attorneys [not in my case] that were way out of line.

| 23466 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | A FABULOUS judge. If all judges were like him, life would be a lot more simple. Very involved, very fair, and hates game playing by lawyers. Just the perfect judge. Period. | 05/12/2016 04:45 PM | |
| 22825 | Court Staff | View Details | Apparently has zero understanding of even the basics of physics.

I witnessed him completely ignore...Read More | 06/02/2015 09:59 PM | |

| 6689 | Court Staff | View Details | A poor judge biased who is biased in favor of the defense. This man would give bail to Charles Manson if he could.
