Legal Knowledge: Demonstrated a strong understanding of family law. Asked relevant questions, evaluated prior decisions, and ensured the case was supported by proper documentation. Fairness & Impartiality: Treated both parties fairly and allowed each of us to be heard. Addressed issues on both sides and made decisions based on the facts presented. I appreciated that he asked for input from both parents regarding sensitive matters involving our child. Judicial Temperament: Maintained a calm and professional demeanor throughout the hearing. Handled sensitive matters involving our child with care and took time to explain considerations before making decisions. Demonstrated patience and respect toward both parties. Communication: Communicated clearly throughout the hearing and explained decisions in a way that was easy to understand. Took time to ensure both parties understood the situation, especially when discussing matters involving our child. Timeliness: The hearing was handled efficiently and progressed without unnecessary delays. The judge stayed engaged and addressed issues in a timely manner.

★☆☆☆☆ Litigant

ignores evidence, allows fabrication of evidence, signs orders without hearing sides, retaliation, keys kids be in danger, abuse of power, abuse of discretion. etc Legal Knowledge: was constantly asking attorneys for the kaw and their understanding of what it means Fairness & Impartiality: two different attorneys told me my case is why they don't do family law. one even said it was the worst case of abuse of discretion they'd ever seen. Judicial Temperament: seems calm on the stand but then kats into you about how trying to protect your kids is hurting them, and how pleading the 5th means you're guilty. he doesn't like being exposed Communication: he'll talk with and take testimony from attorneys via email but then scold you if you respond the same way. Timeliness: for the most part the was ok. does take months sometimes to get orders actually signed
