John P. Doyle

This judge is neither hard working, smart, nor interested in the legal matters pending before him. At the first hearing in our case, he attempted to encourage the parties to settle on day 1 by saying: this case isn't going to make your careers, counsel. What about the plaintiff's right to get her day in court? Disgraceful.

This judge is a disaster for a civil case. He wants to encourage settlement, but then makes incomprehensible civil law and motion rulings to get a case resolved, simply saying "this will be interesting." He needs to really return to practice, but I don't think he ever wanted to -- a civil servant, with no desire to get anything to resolution. Nice man, bad judge, and even worse -- is this who we are putting on the bench for civil cases?
