| 24990 | Other | No Rating | Is SOB in his court. I dislike him like the plague. He should be judged by the people he judged already, especially Naive Americans. PIGT | 11/30/2017 11:16 AM | |
| 23680 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | He never should have been appointed to the bench. Beware of the positive comments which seem to be posted by people who are doing the judge a favor. This is the worst judge in the country.

| 23589 | Other | No Rating | This man is verbally abusive to one and all. Worse, he uses this abuse as crude smokescreen to cover for his glaring lack of understanding of the issues in front of him and makes grossly inappropriate responses to the attorneys. ...Read More | 06/29/2016 10:53 AM | |

| 23250 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | What can be said about Judge Haddon? He's arrogant, believes that he is "anointed, not appointed," could care less about what the law requires him to do if it doesn't comport with what he wants to do, and is so ill-prepared for c...Read More | 01/29/2016 03:57 AM | |
| 23193 | Civil Litigation - Private | No Rating | Is a living demonstration of why the Founding Fathers made a huge mistake giving life tenure to Article III Judges. Biased in extreme. Doesn't feel bound by either the law or the Court rules. Should not be on the bench. | 01/03/2016 04:30 PM | |
| 22681 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Judge Haddon is a loose cannon, who, although he enjoys abusing counsel in general, he goes off the deep end in heaping abuse on the lawyers on the side he doesn't like. He is a bully from the bench, and if you are a lawyer who w...Read More | 04/24/2015 12:19 PM | |
| 22597 | Other | No Rating | I clerked for Judge Haddon which was one of the best professional experiences of my life. He is the hardest working person I've every been around and takes his judicial responsibilities very seriously. He has very high expectati...Read More | 03/24/2015 04:46 PM | |

| 21148 | Other | No Rating | I was a defendant in his courtroom, and I thought he was a by-the-book judge. He was frustrated with the lawyers because they either weren't prepared, or hadn't properly filed the paperwork -- and I didn't blame him. (At the feder...Read More | 10/20/2013 12:24 AM | |
| 13740 | Other | No Rating | I think he is the worst judge if you can call him that to ever step up on the benck. I have seen him myself belittle not only the defendant, but the people who where there for him. He works himself into to a mad and then everyone ...Read More | 03/14/2012 10:16 AM | |

| 11794 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | This judge truly is the worst there is in the U.S. Avoid him at all costs.

| 8804 | Other | No Rating | Quite interesting reading below. I was at the guy's investiture -- you would have thought he was the second coming. It was, in hindsight, a carefully orchestrated sham. But, as Mark Twain reminds us, "The glory built on a lie s...Read More | 06/24/2009 01:31 PM | |

| 7443 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | A one-sided judge who walks in the door with a conviction already in his hand. If the prosecution can't do it on their own that's when this judge takes over and helps push the jury over the edge. | 11/17/2008 02:56 PM | |
| 5672 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Read Comment #2741, as it is spot on. Judge Haddon legislates from the bench regularly, cares little for stare decisis, is the poster child for Robe's Disease, is quite aware of the limits of appellate review, reminds one of the ...Read More | 02/02/2008 03:40 PM | |
| 2741 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | Imperious, mean-spirited, Holier-than-thou, abusive and degrading towards counsel and parties alike.
