★★☆☆☆ Litigant

He’s emotional and only cares about the emotions not about the facts. Enjoye heckling on the bench to both parties and is very unprofessional in the way that he will blatantly share that he talks about the cases with other Judges and Commissioners. These factors all sway his rulings in not good or appropriate ways.

★★★★★ Litigant

litigant, observer, and paralegal. I personally think this judge is one of the few out there left with moral integrity, willing to see people as human while also upholding justice. He truly wants the best for all parties.

★☆☆☆☆ Litigant

Judicial Temperament: ex parte communication with other party, laughing and talking personal with other party while one party and their attorney was not in the room (during a break)
