Judge William Sadler had me falsely prosecuted, in jail past the maximum 72 hrs, for a crime not convicted of. When served a Motion in 2020 he had me escorted out of court by Sheriffs instead of answering questions to my case. Now he is currently avoiding a Subpoena served in March, 2023.
The server I hired, Michael Watts, is now missing !

I have watched Judge Sadler in court several times and he is very smart and fair. I loved his handling of difficult lawyers. He’s bright, gifted and fair. Most importantly he makes decisions that are fair and reasonable. We need more judges like Judge Sadler.

Very even handed, allows attorneys courtesy to entertain arguments, if he smells BS, he will call it as it is, whether it is coming from a Defendant or the government. Overall good experience.
