Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: CA2169
Rating:3.8
Comments:
I am from another county and appeared on an uncontested motion for change of venue before this judge. The other side, who was known to the judge, was allowed to argue and "testify" by providing evidence for the court to consider even though he had not submitted any papers. Ultimately, the judge denied the uncontested motion without any basis other than the other attorney wanted it to stay there because it was more convenient for his client. The facts and the law were otherwise, but that didn't stop the judge from making his ruling.

This Judge sat down at the defense table
after a simple infraction plea was entered and my client was totally impressed. A real human being.
