Sample Lawyer comments:
  • "He is knowledgeable and willing to learn. I believe he began as a civil attorney, and I am impressed by how quickly he has picked up criminal law (which is the bulk of Superior Court work)."
  • "I am very disappointed in him and thought he would bring more wisdom than he has so far displayed."
  • "I have been very impressed with Judge Johnson in the short time he has been on the bench. I had a very complex commercial dispute before him, and he was a very quick study of the facts and relevant case law."
  • "He is usually impartial, though he does sometimes identify with the most sympathetic litigant."
  • "He was a seasoned attorney when he was appointed to the bench. He is not swayed by emotion, but follows the law, which is not always an easy thing to do."
