Civil Litigation - Private

Rating:1.8
Comments:
Basically a complete idiot. Does not have a clue. Prejudges issues and comes up with reasons later, or, just does not have a clue. Definitely the #1 idiot judge I have ever seen.

An absolute idiot. Has no understanding of family Law. Assigned to hold a plenary hearing between me and my ex wife. denied me all aspects of discovery. Then decided he wanted to be a mediator to settle our matter. You can stick your arm up a elephant's butt and pull something out that is smarter than Judge O'Neill.
