The quintessential Judge. Fair, evenhanded, diligent, scholarly, courteous. His judicial vocation is a gift and a treat to lawyers and to litigants.

Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: NJ188
Rating:9.0
Comments:
Judge Doyne is, first and foremost, respectful to lawyers. He has not forgotten what it was like to be a lawyer or his humanity. He is fair, even-tempered, intelligent, knowledgeable and industrious. I wish that all judges treated lawyers and therefore, their clients, in such an even-handed manner.

Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: NJ166
Rating:1.5
Comments:
Judge Doyne is the most unfair, pompous judge I have ever encountered. Beware! He will sign whatever party's order is sent to him first regardless of which party was ordered to prepare it and regardless of whether it accurately reflects what he ordered. So get your orders in early and be creative! He has been known to hold grudges against certain attorneys for no apparent reason and the clients unfortunately must suffer the consequences.
