One of those rare immigration judges. He rules without any bias, he knows the law, he does not necessarily accept opinions of the government, and gives a respondent a fantastic opportunity to argue his case. Fairness and Patience are his two qualities that outshine other immigration judges. He is steeped in experience and it is a joy to practice before this judge.
