Michael A. Sachs

On a civil motion, called the case and read from a script that seemed the product of the work of a research attorney. No tentative ruling before the hearing. Then impervious to listening as to why his "tentative [sic]" was incorrect and what the governing case law said. Went through the motions of pretending to listen.

Terrible. Biased. Does not listen to any argument after asking the attorneys for their thoughts. Makes decisions with no supporting evidence. Lacks understanding of legal requirements of evidence and procedure which is shocking for a presiding judge.

Judge Sachs handled a complicated civil case well, he took over the case from another judge, handled pre-trial and trial proceedings, was familiar with the law and the facts, took the matter under submission, and both parties left the courtroom happy with the conduct of the trial.
