Comments

Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: NJ1166
Rating:8.5

Comments:
This Judge had an excellent grasp of the facts and took an enormous amount of information and crystalized it into a well-formed, readable decision. She separated out some less significant issues to save time and costs for the parties. However, she and I had some personality conflicts which were hard to overcome--although I certainly share the blame I don't ordinarily rile people up so quickly. Be prepared--she is the type of Judge who will give litigant's a lot of room to make arguments which she may completely disagree with. She lets you lawyer as you will, but she won't suffer fools lightly and will bring the gavel down as needed. She is the kind of Judge where you're sure you've lost, right up until you win (and vice versa). She reads your papers closely. She is a fine addition to the bench and I expect to see her go VERY high in the State or even the Federal court system.
