I am a paralegal and have worked with attorneys all over Baltimore County and have watched many many Judges throughout their careers. Judge Dugan is the best. Both knowledgable and compassionate. He abides by Constitution of the United States and sound moral judgment. You can count on Judge Dugan to render a fair unbiased decision

He seems to be a bright judge caught in the 50s 60s mentality regarding law but he's probably a bigot like his partner McGann and other judges in MC. My client who needed a Spanish interpreter felt she was discriminated against because he questioned whether she really need an interpreter. Certified interpreter said he does it all the time. Kind of a jerk.

Judge Dugan is an very good judge. He is always prepared and unafraid of tackling complex cases or motions. He treats counsel like adults and shows no bias whatever.
