Thelton E. Henderson

Excellent judge. Old school judge who cares about the people and how judges should wield the power they are entrusted.

Outstanding human being and brilliant judge. The classiest man on the bench in California.

The only excellent judge I've dealt with. Hope he stays on for many more years to come.

I very much respect his independence.

Botched an obvious ERISA case. Allowed 2 administrative appeals on disability to go to a binding arbitration, clearly in violation of ERISA. This allowed opposing insurance company to have a 3rd administrative appeal.

Now here is a judge I really respect. He deserves his 9.9 rating

Judge Henderson is an incredibly intelligent judge, and very courteous to all who appear before him, including new lawyers. He is a fantastic judge for plaintiffs in civil rights cases. He truly cares about justice and about the litigants in the cases.

One of the brightest stars in the Northern District. A courageous judge.
