THE ROBING ROOM

Very pleasant, thoughtful judge. A pleasure to practice in her courtroom. That said, she is much like fellow Western District Judge John Shabaz when it comes to moving cases along. However, she has much better common sense when it comes to the recognition of practical problems in litigation (for instance, she will not require you to fly in for a hearing at which she is simply going to say 'granted.' I have had several rulings go against me, but I have always thought I got a fair shake, which is all I ask.
