16790	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	Worst judge I have appeared in front of in over 30 years of practice. Emotionally unstable.	08/09/2012 05:10 PM	Contact reviewer

7242	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	While nice enough demeanorwise, he never takes the bench less than a half hour late, usually more, reads tentatives written by his clerks as if he has never seen them before, and generally doesn't fathom more difficult or complex ...Read More	07/07/2010 06:27 PM	Contact reviewer
