Criminal Defense Lawyer

Rating:2.5
Comments:
Not a good judge. He's fairly new to the bench, but thinks he's brilliant. He makes up his mind before hearing from the attorneys and shows bias toward the side he has chosen to win. He does all this while attempting to show that he is fair, but he's far from that. He's got a very biting and nasty side to him, though it's all delivered with a smile/smirk that I'm sure he thinks makes him seem like the good guy. But that's only if you haven't been paying attention.

My case is still ongoing, but Judge Feinerman has been one of the most professional, informed, and even-handed judges I have dealt with in quite a while. He anticipates issues before they come up and offers his own suggestions to streamline potential problems even before the arise. Even when he has ruled against my client on some preliminary issues, I cannot fault his logic.

I think I might be his first case. I thought Obama would have been an advantage but it's not so far.
