No knowledge of the cases and law. He does not read Motions, rules based on External factor and not on the case, disrespects the law, and causes damages to society.
Disrespectful of litigants. Disrespectful of Justice system.

Very knowledgeable judge. He requires that the trial attorneys be prepared and ready to go on the scheduled trial date. Experienced trial counsel tend to do very well in his courtroom because he knows the rules of evidence. Great demeanor in court and as a trial judge.
