51123	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	Judge Madden is, unfortunately, inherently biased in favor of attorneys who frequently are in his court.

10724	Criminal Defense Lawyer	View Details	Temperament-wise, Judge Madden is a judge's judge. I've not experienced a judge so patient. Unfailingly professional. Appropriately understated personality.
