Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: FL1464
Rating:2.4
Comments:
Does not have a clue regarding family law. It is frightening that this man is a judge in family court.

Criminal Defense Lawyer

Comment #: FL832
Rating:3.8
Comments:
Probably the least experienced jurist allowed to be on a criminal bench. Knee jerks for the state due to insecurity. No concept of reasonableness. Was a reasonable child support hearing officer but totally out of his league in a criminal courtroom. The chief judge did him a total disservice by placing him on a criminal bench. He has unjustly hurt a lot of people in his first term.

Judge McCann is a brilliant jurist. He is probably among the brightest members of the bench. His scholarship and demeanor are excellent. He will take the time to read a legal brief if you present it to him ahead of time unlike many who will claim they read it when they actually just walked into the courtroom with it. His talent is surely being wasted in the criminal law assignment that he currently has.
