This is one of the best judges in the county, and in the country. It is very lucky to be assigned to him. He should be sitting on the U.S. Supreme Court.

I found him to be brisk and to the point. Not unpleasant at all. He was what I want a judge to be: fast, fair, polite but not mean and not overly nice. I don't want a judge who is "nice" but incompetent: he's had enough experience to know what he's doing w/o needing 20 pages of paper as well.
