I have been ignored and ridiculed by this judge. He ignores orders and does what he wants and is in fair to those without a lawyer.

Judicial sophistication and grasp of law against pro se competence defaults to severe rules of court forgetfulness, while fee waivers are Kryptonite to mindful case assignment.

Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: CA15349
Rating:Not Rated
Comments:
Excellent judge when defending against pro per litigants. He defers to counsel and will summarily reject self-represented litigants’ arguments. Makes being an attorney easy.
