Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: CA3581
Rating:1.6

Comments:
A horrible judge and not fit to be on the bench. .In more than one occasion, he ruled illegally. Either he does not understand things or he is too lazy to even look at the arguments thus not making any sense when he rules. His clerk, Ms Mason seems to be running the show in his court room and making the critical decisions. A horrible Judge.

If you are on his good side, you luck out.
He seems to care. Frankly, he could care less about the outcome of a case. That is his problem. Because he says nothing, you will think he actually is listening.

Terrible judge to be in front of the jury bc juries believes his Mister Rogers attitude. You get him on your bad side, jury will go that way as well. Even when he is wrong.

Doesn't read papers. Just sits and listens to arguments on motions, nodding his head as if he understands what's going on. Research attorney decides motions. Courtroom clerk is rude and domineering.

Judge was nice to jurors, but SUPER rude to counsel. Never left his chambers and immediately left the bench. He would not talk to his clerk, he would email her. So, when we needed a ruling he would say he had emailed it his his clerk (she was right there), but the attys never rec'd it. Lazy is a good description. Must have gotten to be a judge b/c his dad was one?
