Criminal Defense Lawyer

Comment #: 7626
Rating:2.5
Comments:
Terrible judge and not very smart - his clerk is even dumber. When he was a lawyer he was a great guy. Now he has serious robe fever and is terribly unfair in criminal cases. It is tragic to see the way he has changed. Mean in a criminal case without reason.

Comments:
Vindictive and clearly biased. Smart enough, but takes forever to rule on things, and always takes the easy way out. Couldn't care less about lawyers' schedules, conflicts, or lives. Never met a summary judgment he didn't love.

A very good, professional judge with an excellent temerament. However, he tends to run late and everything takes longer than anticipated.
