Marc D. Gross

Judge completely ignored evidence and obvious lies to settle for the plaintiff after the trial. It was as if we were in a completely different trial and he searched through evidence for anything to support his opinion, ignoring all the lies from the plaintiff. He even caught the plaintiff in lies but still ignored them and settled for the plaintiff allowing a serial lawsuit scammer to continue his fraud. An embarrassment to the legal system. Clown show and Judge Gross is the clown.

Judge Gross was very disappointing as a settlement judge. He completely failed to grasp fundamental principles of accounting at issue in our case. He falls under the rubric of "I can explain it to you but I cannot make you understand." In addition, he was intimidated by our opposition. A good settlement judge pushes both sides equally. It is always the case that each side of a case has strengths and weaknesses. An effective settlement judge "beats up" both sides in an effort to bring them to a reasonable compromise. But Judge Gross's approach was to "report" that the other side rejected our side's position and that was the end of it. If you are offered the "opportunity" to have Judge Gross as your settlement judge, opt for JAMS instead.

I am an out of county lawyer and found Judge Gross refreshing, candid, with a perfect temperament, and an appropriate sense of humor. He knows tech too, thankfully. Case did not settle but he helped a lot. It will.
