This judge will ignore facts and law. He doesn't rule properly based on case laws. A word of caution, if you get stuck with him somehow, one way to get rid of them is file a writ to reverse his ruling and get a new preemptive recusal! Trust me, this will save some many headaches. He is a shame for our legal system.

run from this judge. Look him up on google and find all the mistrials he had and public admonishment in 2020 and prior private admonishment in 2011. He is behaving the same way today. Run from his cases if you can.

In 35 years of practicing exclusively civil litigation this is the worst piece of cr@p judge I have ever seen. When asked why he doesn’t follow the local rule on pre-motion discovery conferences he said “it’s too much bother.” This is a tired old man who goes with whoever shouts him down. Drink some coffee and get ready to start yelling!! This is no place for evenhanded intellects.

This judge is the most unfair judge I've appeared in front of in 25 years of practice. It seems that if he decides he does not like a party, he will rule against it and will disregard both the facts and the law with no shame at all in doing so, but he will cut you off if you try to make your record. He is rude to both counsel and to parties. In my opinion, he will prejudge your case and will try to strong arm your client into settling. He is often unfamiliar with the papers and often claims not to have received them even though they were hand delivered to his chambers. His unfamiliarity with the issues will not stop him from taking entrenched positions based on his misapprehension of the facts and law. Judges with this sort of temperament give our legal system a bad reputation. They have no business being anywhere near a courtroom.

His demeanor is very stern, but a skilled and fair judge.
