- Atkin, Trevor
- Peterson, Jessica K.
What are your thoughts on the race in this department?
I have had bad experiences with Jessica Peterson as an arbitrator in cases where she awarded damages that were neither requested nor proven. I am not confident that she would be a good judge.
Trevor is doing a great job. No reason to make a change.
I have a number of trust litigation cases in front of Judge Atkin. I have been impressed by both the effort he has made to learn this area of law and how quickly he has mastered a lot of difficult issues and procedures. I hope that he is given more of the litigated probate calendar. He is one of our better judges.
Voting for Trevor Atkin
Trevor Atkin is the best judge I've appeared before in the Eighth JD
Trevor is a great judge
So far it is 6 to 0 in favor of Judge Atkin. Anyone want to weigh in for Ms. person and prevent the shut out?
I've had a couple hearings with Judge Atkin. For a 'new judge' I was really pleasantly surprised with his Courtroom demeanor and what appeared to be significant preparation. My cases were just status checks so I can't speak to personally having a complex hearing but I was impressed.
This did not age well. We sure miss Judge Atkin.
