PROS

  • Very engaging
  • Appears to be a constitutionalist
  • Initiated courtroom meta-data examination (on courtroom efficiency).
  • Fixed many MoCo Hospital District problems

CONS

  • Strictly civil attorney -  little to no criminal experience that's needed for this court
  • Admits to many embarrassing events in his background, but does not opine as to the nature of the events, including   public fraud judgment against him of appx. $7 million  Yollick later explained that "There was never a judgment against me arising out of the dispute. The plaintiffs appealed the trial judge’s ruling in my favor to the Houston Court of Appeals and won their appeal. The Supreme Court of Texas chose not to hear the case. The case was back in the trial court, when the settlement occurred, as no judgment was rendered."
  • Contributor to Obama & Hillary campaigns/affiliated organizations, along w/GOP(Claims it was his wife on his credit card).  campaignmoney.com/
  • Headed up PAC in past for wealthy individual who had grudge against a Judge Edwards'  ruling.   PAC mailed out questionable allegations.   
  • Appeared to misdirect RUD 7 by having them return to hotel to take pictures of them living there.   Failed to argue "residence" for RUD 7 for voting purposes, different than where one spends the night w/family.    Seemingly orchestrated charade of "living" at the Residence Inn made the entire process appear to be a lie and subterfuge, resulting in possible prison sentences for RUD 7
  • Attacked the MCTP Vetting Committee for not endorsing him, calling the committee "blithering idiots".
