More Judges stepping down

It looks like Judge Mike Anderson, presiding judge of the 262nd District Court of Harris County and Judge Reagen Helm, presiding judge of Harris County Criminal Court at Law #1have both decided not to seek reelection.  Both of these judges will be missed for different reasons.  Judge Anderson is beloved by the prosecutors for the toughness he displays.  Meanwhile the prosecutors have been trying to remove Judge Helm from all family violence cases because of his lack of compassion for the victims in those type of cases.

As a Houston Criminal Defense Lawyer I have been treated fairly by both judges. I have known Judge Anderson since I was in the Harris District Attorney's Office over ten years ago.  Moreover, I was friends with Judge Helm's Court Coordinator, Karen Harrison, before I became attorney.
