I started a lawsuit against a company that sold me some bad real estate. My atty told me the judge's name so I looked him up.
On-line I found a similar case to mine. The judge ruled a non-suit against the plaintiff who was suing a contractor for faulty work. The plaintiff was unable to even submit evidence! I am worried I will get unfairly treated in my case. I don't know all the details of how he arrived at that decision but here is what I found on-line

Should I be concerned?

If your attorney feels concerned, you can request a change of judges. Given past history, that might be a good idea.

You should get this case file from the courts. Interduce it in a motion thru your counsel in a motion to seeking that the judge remove himself before you get any deeper. Site as reason from the request is the fact that he does not allow professional wintess into Court which is your legal right in depending your position that this is evident by the prior cast, that there is a abundance of the wrong doing on the part of the Judge in this case. That in fact it can be only be held that the Judge is against the legal process as being equally applied to both the plaintiff and the defendant. Of course the judge also said these are just low life trash looking to make a fast buck. But does that justify his court room conduct no.
Yes you should be concerned greatly this judge is nuts. Wonder how much money passed hands on that one.

I do not know if you purchased "raw land" one without a dwelling on it, or an existing home/commercial building. There are different laws for different real estate. Before you hired an attorney, you should have written to the Attorney General. You should have threatened whoever sold you the real estate that if your monies were not returned you were going to contact the Attorney Generals Office. Most companies will immediately comply. The Attorney General is very powerful and most companies do NOT want to deal with the AG. If you did not contact the AG you should do so. Your lawyer will be the one to make the $$$$$.It would be interesting to find out how you make out.For anyone out there purchasing real estate make SURE you do your HOMEWORK and RESEARCH!!!

If you carefully read the link you provided, the construction company took responsibility for the damages to the home, and offered, through arbitration, to make the purchaser whole. The purchaser held firm for an unreasonable amount of $1 million, and the negotiations fell through as a result. The judge found the contractor had tried to fix problems and was stopped by the purchaser, and found, probably correctly in that case, for the contractor.
Have you been offered a settlement which would cover your losses, and you have refused it? If not, you're comparing apples to oranges.
Ask your attorney for advice, that why you are paying him, not a bunch of strangers with computers.

Yes, you should trust your judge to be fair. You should also make your case.
Here's the thing. Some suits fail as a matter of law. The plaintiff will have failed to state a claim that the court can allow to proceed. When the court gets one of those, he has to look at it and say "sorry, Sparky...this goes no further."
No matter how great your evidence is, if you don't do the complaint properly you can be stopped before you even start.

go to the court house and pull the case. he rule against in a similar case but you don't know why. first, figure it out. then and only then do you determine if you want another judge. you have the right but one time only to ask for another judge. but you might get a worse judge so choose wisely..........

Ask the attorney. He/she should have some idea of what the judge is like and be able to give you a little forewarning.

Lawsuits are decided on proof such as contracts or on previous case decisions.

Yes. You can never predict an outcome as very many previous law suits and trials have proven.

Judges are people, with all their good and bad points.
If it were me I'd be concerned.
