Outstanding legal mind with excellent bedside manners. This judge has to be one of the best out there in all of Los Angeles. Anyone who left this man a bad review is out of their mind. What an asset to the bench and to Los Angeles Family Law. Judge Dordi is an absolute class act and extremely intelligent. This city is lucky to have him.

Comments:
Judge Dordi is biased and does not care if parent or a child for that matter has been abused. All that he cares is to get through the most cases possible in the least amount of time. He is well connected with politicians so filing complaints against him leads to nothing. He doesn't even care to review evidence nor does he care about anyone's arguements. He always gives the abusers chances and more chances and continues to facilitate abuse. He is evil.

Judge Dordi is misogynistic and prejudiced. He has no idea what it is like to be victimized. He is not impartial as a judge should be while hearing a testimony allowing exceptions for one party but not the other. All the while repeatedly stating that we need to hurry up he doesn't have time..... Where do I file my complaint against this Judge? He needs to be re-evaluated.

Very observant, intelligence, does research
I have generally done my research with people regarding this Judge, never met anyone who has anything negative to say about him.
I was not so happy with the results I got from him the last time in Court, boats he was actually following the court procedure even though it did not go in my favor

From the height of his Office and his bench, His Honor feels justified in playing almighty with the "little people" scurrying before him. Namely, people who have been through domestic violence at he hands of powerful men. Prepare to be terrorized in court, via legal means.
The young, polished, polite (never raises his voice), respectful exterior His Honor has cultivated ever since taking his oath some 5 years ago is a veneer. Come bring your case to him if you feel like being a legal guinea pig as he cuts his judicial teeth! Behold the legal dissection in vivo, as he adjudicates cases with the wisdom of a butcher.

Judge Dordi does not have a particularly sophisticated understanding of the dynamics of domestic violence. If you have a non-physical domestic abuse case and are seeking a restraining order or FC 3044 finding, I would recommend 170.6ing Judge Dordi and taking your chances elsewhere.

WORST family court Judge ever! He does not understand family law at all, and signs documents without apparently even reading them!!!

Comments:
Although I lost today, he was (very) patient. I didn’t agree with his interpretation of the law and he took the time to re explain his interpretation. Even when I was taking over him out of fear of being misunderstood, he reprimanded me sternly and respectfully. I wish all judges were this commendable.

170.6 this judge! He has no understanding of civil procedure or the evidence code. Seems completely lost on the simplest of cases. Do not agree to appear in front of him.
