THE ROBING ROOM

He is a smart, hard working, no nonsense judge, and expects the same from counsel. If I had to pick a judge for trial, whether I was the plaintiff or the defendant, I would want him. I have never seen a better trial judge. He understands what it is like to try a case, and what he needs to do as a trial judge. He will allow you some room if he senses that you are prepared and know what you are doing. He is not so generous with those who are not thoroughly prepared. It does not matter if he knows you, or what side of the docket you are on. His only bias is in favor of the smart, diligent, and prepared lawyer.
