First case before him. Marked final trial no adjournments. Both sides had issues with going forward he was pleasant intelligent helpful and got the case settled making it clear that he wasn't going to punish anyone if it didn't. A Judge who "gets it". Top Marks.

Rude and agitated on ministerial matters of the calendar for no justifiable reason. The Clerks of the Parts when and where he sits are better at handling the calendars in a polite, clear, professional manner than the Judge.

I am surprised that David Hawkins has not been thrown off the bench.Terrible judge, yelling for no reason, acts like a child , cannot manage his temperament. An absolute embarrassment.He should be ashamed of himself.This judge I will not even going to call him Hon. He doesn't deserved to be call Hon.
