I've had him once on appeal of an adverse ruling by S.Ct. judge. He exhibited common sense and a sense of fairness.

I don't know how the other rater (there is only one as I write)encountered him. I have had him on three cases, one of which was terribly complex. He reads what you write, he takes notes, he listens. He has common sense and a sense of what is right. What more can you ask of a judge?

This guy could barely speak English. Now he's on the Appellate Division. Go figure!
