| 35088 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | No Rating | Terrible. Another Big Law judge. To him, the federal courts are only for the rich & famous. | 01/02/2023 02:06 AM | |
| 34157 | Civil Litigation - Private | No Rating | Judge Bianco is a perfect example of a judge who is a bully. Cannot be bothered with the details of the facts of the case on appeal, rather he relies on the tag lines that his clerks provide even when the tag lines are 180 degrees...Read More | 08/07/2021 07:53 PM | |
| 33392 | Litigant | No Rating | As a pro-se and an injured party, Judge Bianco granted me leave to amend the complaint with a stunning decision. I could not believe it. We could use more like him. Therefore, Comment #: 22420 saying "If you are Pro Se, Judge Bian...Read More | 08/04/2020 09:36 PM | |
| 32924 | Civil Litigation - Private | No Rating | The true test of a man is when he is granted immense power and remains fair and just. Judge Bianco has a keen intellect and is respectful to litigants and attorneys. His promotion was met with mixed emotion. Joy to see his hard...Read More | 12/20/2019 08:20 AM | |
| 32686 | Other | No Rating | This Judge conducted the oath ceremony for citizenship.The entire courtroom was moved with his speeches and stories of his grandparents. What a wonderful day. God Bless America and God Bless Judge Bianco. We were so happy to shar...Read More | 07/03/2019 01:29 PM | |
| 30270 | Court Staff | No Rating | Part of the problem in this Country. Willing to put political correctness above the truth to gain advancement in his career. He is part of the greater problem this Country faces. With no borders and no boundaries, we are no longer...Read More | 01/25/2019 03:33 AM | |
| 25225 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | No Rating | Three week criminal trial. No favor or bias for or against the government or the defendant. Keeps a steady and efficient -- but not overbearing -- pace. Quickly grasps the issues. Wasn't personally invested in outcome. Let's you ...Read More | 03/06/2018 06:59 AM | |
| 25175 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | An unusual judge and unusual human being. Judge Bianco combines a strong intelligence with a dedication to courteous decency that is rare. Regardless of whether he is disagreeing with my trial positions (with thoughtful explanatio...Read More | 01/26/2018 01:01 PM | |
| 23847 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | This judge is an enigma wrapped in a mystery encased in the facade of neutrality. In a civil case that he took rather than refer to the magistrate for discovery, he favored local counsel and refused to sanction delay and sharp pra...Read More | 09/20/2016 05:25 PM | |
| 22828 | Litigant | No Rating | I was very disappointed with Judge Bianco. He is clearly disciplined, scholarly, very sharp, highly qualified, even tempered -- all the things you would expect in a federal judge. But he hated my lawyer. And he killed my case. T...Read More | 06/03/2015 06:49 PM | |
| 22826 | Other | No Rating | Sorry to say Justice Bianco does not know the diffracted of days between Oct. 31,2005 and November 1,2005. He believed it is one week and wrote in his judgment trusting a misleading affidavit. Many other issues.? | 06/03/2015 04:49 PM | |
| 22420 | Litigant | No Rating | If you are Pro Se, Judge Bianco will rule against you. Period. In my case, attorneys who never appeared in a civil rights case in IL, and used Bianco's testimony as a witness in this same case in IL - actually prevailed in both ...Read More | 02/21/2015 06:10 AM | |
| 22205 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | Judge Bianco is a different animal than most legal types, let alone most judges: He realizes that he is human! I have always found him of cheerful temperament, unwilling to engage in attorney distractions. His rulings, even when a...Read More | 12/03/2014 08:26 AM | |
| 22071 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Very respectful of attorneys. Very smart. | 09/21/2014 01:48 PM | |
| 21664 | Litigant | No Rating | He does not believe in the documentary evidence. Also, he does not know the time difference between October 31st and November 1st -- he ruled that the difference is one week, and not one day. | 04/03/2014 01:41 PM | |
| 20850 | Litigant | No Rating | Well-informed and fair but somewhat naive, in my opinion. | 06/29/2013 09:03 AM | |
| 18805 | Other | No Rating | Judge Bianco is an exemplary model of justice who is thoroughly prepared for all litigation. He uses fair judgement and considers every litigant as a human person in his courtroom. | 10/17/2012 08:05 PM | |
| 12808 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | The judge was extremely fair and reasonable in all pretrial discussions and extremely courteous at oral arguments. He asked questions and let you know what he thought without being abusive or ill tempered. His decision was thorou...Read More | 08/29/2011 02:02 PM | |
| 12750 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | An extremely uncooperative Judge who thinks he is above the law of the Constitution of the United States of America. | 08/11/2011 04:51 PM | |
| 12749 | Litigant | No Rating | I find it hard to believe that I am being treated to the worst from JUDGE JOSEPH BIANCO, yet others think this man is a nice guy. Wow! I guess when you have something to hide - you never let the good people see what you're doing. ...Read More | 08/11/2011 04:48 PM | |
| 12748 | Litigant | No Rating | He is the worst example of a decent judge I have ever seen. Don't ever let him speak to children as a role model - only in Iran or Iraq. | 08/11/2011 04:40 PM | |
| 12573 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | A real judge. Everything a judge should be. Understands the law and also the realities of a case. Determined to do justice. | 07/14/2011 09:24 AM | |
| 12139 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Excellent Jurist. Bright, patient, respectful, fair, candid. | 04/08/2011 12:12 PM | |
| 11746 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Think Scalia, Roberts, Alito. He is a W appointee. If you represent those who W looked upon favorably, you may be fine. If you represent the little guy, look out. | 11/17/2010 09:33 PM | |
| 6891 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | For a young Federal judge, Judge Bianco is wonderful and very fair and thorough in his ruling. Wonderful! | 10/07/2008 01:05 PM | |
