Judge Thorsen was a pleasure to try a case before, he was fair and very easy to work with and respectful. Great staff also.

Civil Litigation - Private

Rating:9.1
Comments:
A pleasure, having practiced for 20 years it is unfortunate that this seems to be the exception instead of the rule. If I had this judge on every one of my cases the pleasure of practicing law would be just that...a pleasure. No attitude, no nonsense intimidation tactics. With times as difficult as they are he doesn’t compound those problems by making an already difficult profession more difficult-

This is an excellent judge. Lawyer-friendly, even-handed, bright, and tries hard to be fair and to get it right. Wish more judges were like him.
