A mean and angry man, at least while wearing his robe on the bench.

A mean and angry man, at least while wearing his robe on the bench. 35 minutes late to the bench in a recent hearing, then had the temerity to berate and belittle attorneys for their perceived misdeeds. Might benefit himself, and many others, from attendance at anger management training.

He is unnecessarily hostile, unprofessional, unreasonable, and lacks the temperament to be a judge.

He is unnecessarily hostile, unprofessional, unreasonable, and lacks the temperament to be a judge. He should be removed as a judge. I am doing my best to get out of the profession to get away from Judges and lawyers like him. Some people should not be given any power. The legal profession is in a very sad state right now.

He is a Democrat racist put in place to uphold white supremacy. He was elected in a election that never happened in 2024. My children told him their truth. We had video and I caught the defendant in several lies. He still found a way to rule in their favor. My children from 7 to 13 told him what happened to them when a loaded gun was pulled on them and the defendant admitted it . And this racist ruled in their favor. I will never forget that. Never

He seems ill prepared and appears to be completely clueless in terms of the law and its application.

He seems ill prepared and appears to be completely clueless in terms of the law and its application. No rhyme or reason behind his opinions. One of the worst I've had to deal with.

I have had the misfortune of appearing before Judge Alexander on numerous occasions.

I have had the misfortune of appearing before Judge Alexander on numerous occasions. He is universally capricious and nonsensical in his rulings such that he functions more like an agent of chaos than anything else. His bizarre rulings are equally prejudicial to every side, and demonstrate no rhyme or reason, bias, or universal application of law. In the office we joke he has two clerks behind the bench; one with a brain and one without. Judge Alexander is a former appellate specialist who fancies himself a justice, but even when dealing with complex legal issues he invariably drops the ball. On dispositive motions I have seen him make adverse rulings against both sides that cite to no facts or authority to support his preconceived rulings, and on other matters he has gone above and beyond to justify his preconceived ruling even when unsupported by fact or law. He also has absolutely no trial experience which, unsurprisingly, means that he is essentially ignorant of basic discovery practice and the rules of evidence. Instead of familiarizing himself with the bread and butter of his appointment, he instead seems to look down on trial-level disputes with disdain and behaves as though they aren't worth his time. Judge Alexander also holds unprofessional grudges and will take it out on you in subsequent hearings. Beware how hard you advocate for your client because he will make your life hell after the fact, even across different cases/clients. Finally, don't expect any written rulings to come down the pipe in any sort of timely fashion. I've seen Judge Alexander take three months to rule on a motion to compel following oral argument. Sadly, this was not a one off, as he regularly takes in excess of a month to issue copy-pasted recitations of law from the judge's benchbook alongside a limp review of the facts. 170.6 him like your life depends on it, regardless of whether you're plaintiff or defendant. I'd rather be stuck with an asleep-at-the-wheel PI hub j
