Hon. C. Victor Lander, Administrative Judge – Court 9 | Notes: Is the chief judge. Has a good understanding of the law. Is being forced to balance justice with profits. To be monitored on ability to do this with any real balance. The hope is that he remains the chief judge as there is no alternative that better understands both the defense perspective and the City perspective regarding justice and profit. | ||||||
Notes: The most rigid of the judges. Very state friendly. Probably has aspirations of being a chief judge someday. Do not expect to receive a favorable outcome for a defendant that has violated a court order. Excuses in this court for defaults of conditions on deferred agreements and payment extensions will normally fall on deaf ears. | Hon. Michael Acuna – Court 5 | ||||||
Very fair and reasonable judge. Balances defendants rights with State’s prosecutorial power very well. Will get a fair trial in this court. If you are found guilty in this court or are convicted after a default on deferred conditions it is normally after every chance has been given to your client to succeed. | Hon. Carrie Chavez – Court 6 | ||||||
Wild card in many ways. Has evolved over the years to be more of a balanced judge. Began with very state friendly attitude towards court decisions and procedures. Seems to have become more understanding of the issues related with defense work. To be monitored. | Hon. Julie Clancy, Court 7 | ||||||
Very fair and unbiased. Has a real understanding of defendants and approaches job with great humility. Treats new and inexperienced attorneys with same respect as well seasoned lawyers. Has a great respect for both sides of the Municipal Bar. | Hon. Tim Gonzalez – Court 8 | ||||||
Not enough data to form an opinion | Hon. David Indorf – Court 13 | ||||||
Defense friendly in the times that our office has had dealings with the judge. Rumors that she can be biased against you if you test her temper. No proof that this is necessarily true. | Hon. Ruth Catherine Logan – Court 10 | ||||||
Reasonable in rulings. Seems to be more at ease with his position over the years. Opinion is that he is a judge who prefers not to cause waves. Will make rulings in a way that promotes this. | Hon. Jay E. Robinson – Court 2 | ||||||
Very opinionated. Vascilates between State friendly and defense friendly. Has had the opinion in the past that the defense bar is part of the problem with Dallas Municipal Court. Helped to create the afternoon docket system that is now in place. To a large part, that system has been a great success in clearing out old cases. Not given enough credit for his input on the subject. Has his favorites when it comes to the defense bar. Can be very political at times. | Hon. Daniel F. Solis – Court 3 | ||||||
Probably more attached to her station as a judge than any other. Very rigid with her “court rules.” Expects every attorney to “know” what her rules are without exception. Must play by her rules in order to achieve justice for your client regardless of how irrelevant those rules may seem to a person unfamiliar with her court. Be prepared to be treated with a lack of respect if you are ignorant to her court procedures. Take the time to ask other attorneys how proceed in her court if you are unaware. | Hon. Cheryl D. Williams – Court 1 | ||||||
