Attorney comments

• "Judge Hickman has ruled for my client and against my client, but in all cases, I have felt that his decisions were fair and based on the law. I appreciate his demeanor and his balanced approach to the case before him."
• "He seems a bit overwhelmed by his caseload. At times, he seems unprepared and unwilling to make tough decisions."
• "He addresses all parties with respect, dignity, compassion and elegance. He provides a gentle, attentive and reassuring focus on the issues and the concerns of each party."
• "John is a good man who needs some seasoning as a judge. He needs to work on handling proceedings quickly and efficiently. He takes too long to handle matters."
