Rating:Not Rated
Comments:
Avoid at all cost. Disgrace to the judicial system. No respect for the law. He is extremely biased, pro plaintiff. Plaintiff counsel misleads the judge by citing an unpublished opinion where the judge has shown his dereliction by citing and relying on the same unpublished opinion on his ruling. Shameful!

Comments:
This is an outstanding trial judge. He will allow the lawyers to pretty much agree to whatever they want to agree to, and he'll go along with it as long as it is reasonable. Great temperament. He is all business, but that is fine. He is flexible and fair. He expects you to be prepared. Everything that you could ask for in a trial judge. Both plaintiff and defense will be happy with him as a judge.

Comments:
Judge Tarle is an outstanding trial judge with an even temperament, who pays great attention to detail. He does not give visible signs of favoritsm and gives every party a complete opportunity to present their case. If he has a flaw, it is that he suffers frivolous arguments a bit too readily, where another judge might be dismissive of positions that are ridiculous on their face.

Comment #: CA3029
Rating:1.9
Comments:
When he makes up his mind, which happens often and always prior to any appearance, he will never budge, even if proven wrong. Everything is in his "opinion" and apparently, his "opinion" is what the law is! He will often side with one party and will go out of his way to help that party despite, again, what the law is.

Judge Tarle is an extremely capable judge, especially at trial, with an efficient and pleasant courtroom and staff. He is excellent on the law, and usually gets it right, but is not unwilling to give revisit and change his own decisions where appropriate. Trying a case before him was one of best experiences in my legal career.
