This judge will ignore facts and law. He doesn't rule properly based on case laws. A word of caution, if you get stuck with him somehow, one way to get rid of them is file a writ to reverse his ruling and get a new preemptive recu...Read More04/11/2024 04:25 PMContact reviewer

run from this judge. Look him up on google and find all the mistrials he had and public admonishment in 2020 and prior private admonishment in 2011. He is behaving the same way today. Run from his cases if you can.01/26/2024 07:15 PMContact reviewer

In 35 years of practicing exclusively civil litigation this is the worst piece of cr@p judge I have ever seen. When asked why he doesn’t follow the local rule on pre-motion discovery conferences he said “it’s too much bother.” Thi...Read More10/20/2023 07:45 AMContact reviewer

This judge is the most unfair judge I've appeared in front of in 25 years of practice. It seems that if he decides he does not like a party, he will rule against it and will disregard both the facts and the law with no shame at al...Read More09/23/2022 03:01 PMContact reviewer

Very bad demeanor and it is quite obvious what he thinks before any oral arguments have been made. Liens toward big defense firms.06/17/2019 09:31 AMContact reviewer

His temperament is utterly unsuitable for a judge, commissioner or otherwise. Perennially angry, to the point where observers feel concerned for his general well-being. A petty tyrant who will rule absolutely and at his personal...Read More10/30/2017 05:02 PMContact reviewer

A petty dictator, did not do his homework, ruled "from the hip" and should not be in a position of power. A miserable judge, avoid at all costs!09/25/2017 02:13 PMContact reviewer

Competent. Can be caustic from the bench. It is perceived this court is over-worked and that is reflected in the time this Judge has to become familiar with issues. There seemed to be little absorption of the law / codes cited in ...Read More06/02/2017 11:48 AMContact reviewer

I have to agree with the "petty dictator" comment. I worked with him when he was a probate referee, but two months on the bench and all of a sudden he is God and attorneys are mere worms. Eventually, he's going to mouth off once...Read More04/05/2017 04:12 PMContact reviewer
