Attorney comments

• "Judge Felnagle is the best judge in the Pierce County Superior Court. You always feel like you got a fair shake, even when he rules against you."
• "My one complaint is that he does not use court time efficiently. Things that should take an hour can take two to three hours."
• "He is intelligent, reasoned and thoughtful. He makes an excellent record. His handling of jurors is without peer."
• "He needs to have more empathy towards people who are of a lower socio-economic class and women who are victims of domestic violence and victims in general."
