    Even though he disagreed with my arguments, Judge Paulissen was polite and very respectful to me and my client. After he allowed me to provide a brief overview of the circumstances and at the end of a lengthy hearing when he denied the relief requested, he again explained the rules to my client and added that it gave him no pleasure in making this decision but he was constrained by the law. Excellent judge and we should have more thoughtful, compassionate immigration judges like him on the bench !
