Legal Knowledge: He's an expert on standing and was right on Sexton. Also on the Maupin standard. Fairness & Impartiality: Has an uncanny ability to understand the heart of the matter and come to a fair and just ruling. Judicial Temperament: Keeps the mood light with stories and jokes. Never yells and always tries to make you feel welcome. I like to call his courtroom "Tommy's House" Communication: He's mostly mastered the Kings English. Timeliness: Everything takes three to four weeks. No more, no less.
