This was one of the most unfair, bias judges. He would not bring my case to trial and coerced me into a plea deal to save his district attorney’s who stood with a man who brought false charges, lied to a grand jury and perjured themselves. [Redacted by Ed.]

Can be tough but very fair and smart. Had a reputation as one of the best criminal attorneys in Somerset county and it shows on the bench Given his obvious command of the law. Had opportunity to observe over a few months while handling a matter in Bergen and was very impressed especially since this Judge seems very young. Easily one of the best judges I’ve seen in Bergen
