Disgrace on his profession. Racist judge I am east Indian he is black. My tenant destroyed my rental house at the time of eviction I found him and sued him in small claims. This judge has a huge backlog and is short on time but he spent most of the time on examining me if I had refunded the security deposit, mailed the statement on time to the correct address. I was the plaintiff but this scumbag judge treated me like a defendant, then he allowed the tenant to bring a para-legal to help him and act as pretend witness inspite of my protest. He then took all my evidence and said he will sort it out himself since short of time. He then "clubbed" the eviction judgment with his small claims case making it look like I won but he gave me only $ 257 bucks and messed up the whole thing. This judge is a shame on mankind and a disgrace on humanity. He is racist and very rude too. It is shocking to read his positive reviews, I guess he hates east Indians. Shame on you Tony Richardson.

Judge Richardson presided over my action, and I have no complaints-- even though I ended up losing. I disagreed with some of his rulings, but he was fair and diligent, and VERY polite. Previous rater is correct that oral argument matters and that he will hear and consider your arguments.

I've had moderate experience before Judge Richardson. I have found him to be very thorough and fair.
