It appears that he is an administrative law judge, which is usually the Judge with the least power in the legal system. Based upon what I have read, it doesn't appear that the DC Superior Court Judges are all too thrilled with his lawsuit either and some have mentioned that he has done some things in bad faith. Honestly, I think there should be something in the law that if you do not accept a monetary offer made by the opposing party and you get 75% or less of that amount through trial, you should be responsible for a portion of the opposing party's legal fees. This guy turned down a $12,000 offer on a pair of pants that might have been worth $150. I think $12,000 would have been plenty for his inconvenience and then some.
