129414LitigantNo RatingAs a landlord for over 10 years, I have had only 2 evictions managing 30 tenants. Both took almost a year at the hands of Dalton. Costing me 10s of thousands of dollars while enabling the tenants to walk away. Mediation is a joke.10/31/2024 08:24 AMContact reviewer

This judge has an unfortunate inability to consider legal arguments beyond those that he has thought of himself. He is far too glib with comments that can be taken as offensive and/or biased. Not recommended.01/30/2014 07:07 PMContact reviewer
