Civil Litigation - Private: I have mixed opinions about Judge Kim. He handled a settlement…
I have mixed opinions about Judge Kim. He handled a settlement conference for me. I don't like to say this about people, but he was a complete jerk. I've been a lawyer 30 years, and have encountered every conceivable judge. Judge Kim was about as jerky as they come. He was the single most arrogant judge that I have ever come across. He, quite literally, had zero regard for my input. I don't take it personally. I'm must reporting it to you. On the other hand, however, he was extremely successful in bringing about a settlement. So, oddly, although he was an abusive, jerk, I'd probably use him again because of how effective he was.
