This guy is part of a ring of ICE agents and prosecutors who convict innocent people of sex crimes they never commit. It's easy to convict... because trials never believe someone when they say they didn't do it. We had proof of innocence and this guy knew it yet he put my son in prison anyway.

A fair and kind person, open minded and willing to accept and consider each person with respect, regardless of their background.

Very biased judge in favor of criminal banks. Only looks at the bank's (defendant's) motions and exhibits and ignored my complaint, exhibits and case law, not once but three times. Does not like pro se litigants.

Seems to Judge cases often not on merits but rather on stature of lawyers appearing before him. Nice man. Makes early determination of result he wants & then works towards making that result happen.

Not quite the brightest bulb in the chandelier. I think he tries to do a good job, but is hobbled by so many limitations that he fails. Not sure he really can ever overcome his disposition to side with the 1% against the 99%. Not sure he is even aware of that trait.

Judge was horrible. After stating he looked at the fronesics and sees that it calm as the defendant as not quilty, he still placed him as quilty.

The facts were plain in front of him. We had proof my son was innocent. Anyone could see that by our forensics. But he chose to go along with the theatrics of prosecutor Perez (as Perez gestured with his hand as if masturbating) so that won over the facts.

Perhaps the best judge in the Middle District. You get a fair hearing before a judge who still remembers he's a human being. His rulings show a real sensitivity to complex issues and he tries harder than most to reach a legally correct decision.

Was biased from the outset in a civil hearing. The motion in opposition raised a clear lack of SMJ as pleading by government plaintiff was insufficient and a constitutional issue was raised in the motion to oppose. Antoon ignored the nation's highest law and ruled against.

A very good judge. He generally prepares for hearings, knows the facts, knows the law, and is unfailingly pleasant to work with. One of the best District Court Judges in the Middle District.

A keen intellect coupled with curiosity about the law and courtesy to attorneys practicing before him. A rare combination

Collects a good salary but does little to earn it. No independent review of record. Repeats obvious fact and legal errors from lawyers on one side. Rubber stamps erroneous magistrate orders. Result oriented and not even very diligent about disguising appearance of bias.

Judge Antoon is a fair-minded judge who seems to be defense oriented in his approach to trials. However, if you lose after being given the benefit of the doubt, you will be punished for your actions.
