Has good demeanor, clearly knows the law and procedure. Initially will entertain novel approaches to equitable resolution.
However, will takes sides in a case for ideological reasons or to align with status quo, once he does facts or law don't matter, and he will justify gut instinct over legal fundamentals, and will steer a case to come to a predetermined decision.

This judge is horrible, Unprofessional and sexist. My daughter had individual bruises from my ex’s fingers from pulling her out of the car window and still gave him visitation and ordered me to drive 14 hours every other weekend so my children’s abuser could have time with them. He doesn’t care about facts or evidence. If anyone knows a good lawyer to sue him, I’m all ears….

Absolutely atrocious. Does not follow the law he is to protect. Makes rash decisions. Kids have been mentally physically and emotionally neglected after his judgements. Family's are destroyed instead of succeeding.

He has a pattern of practice that endangers children and violates the rights of good parents- he has a specific hatred of good mothers and his orders are detrimental to the protection of children and good protective mothers. He needs to be removed at once

He puts children in danger with abusers and deprives protecting, fit mothers of meaningful contact with their children. Children need protection and meaningful contact with their primary attachment figure.

A bad judge. He doesn't follow the law, and makes decisions to cover up for others. I have proof of this.
