I had an environmental matter before Judge Jones and she was terrific. She read the pleadings and was well-versed in the law. She heavily leaned on the parties to settle, and even allowed time for us to conduct settlement discussions pre-trial. A wonderful judge, and a role model for Black lawyers. Not easy to be a trailblazer, which is likely why there are so many bitter comments about her.

This woman ought to be disbarred. Her unwillingness to let a DD person have a say in her own conservatorship hearing, OR the attorney she hired, is despicable.

Over and again Alesia (I refuse to refer to her as a judge, as that would require the ability to remain unbias, and willing to hear ALL of the evidence, and check it to the fact, rather than assumption or creation by either party) held bias to one side from the word 'go' and the opposing side was demeaned, spoken to in a condescending manner, actually told not to speak, after accusations against their client. And the client being Developmentally Disabled, was NEVER allowed to speak on her own behalf. So basically her attorney was told not allowed in the courts, and only a PD was allowed.

Fortunate for this adult woman with Different Abilities got THE BEST PD in Solano Cty - Atty Joseph Reyes, who really cared and gave her a voice. ONLY by his tenacity against Alesia's bullying, and the COWARD/BULLY (aren't they all?) eventual removing herself from the case bc she knew she was toast, did the DD see justice served!

Rest assured that both a submission to the Solano County Grand Jury for an investigation, as well as a submission of complaint to the CA Judicial Council will ensue against Alesia.

Wow! Judge Jones is intense, sarcastic, and a bit disconnected from the people appearing in front of her.

She does not treat people well.

I assumed the justice system would be fair and non bias ,I was wrong after my case in her court for a constructed eviction by my slunlord and her attorney who was prior mayor of vallejo and who has ties to Judge Jones . I had many defenses avulable to me housing is key app assigned to case manager ( told me california says that but its not true no protection for evictions for back rent ) having ,domestic violence survivor restraing order in effect, covud 19 protections,implied warranty of hability code violations by solano county,and proof of plantiffs forged documents to protect his clients ass by failing to obtain renters relief ,Judge Jones ignored all she was rude, told me "I lacked a degree as attorney . She praised plaintiffs attorney and wet as far as FIXING the summons servered to me that was not complete ,dates incorrect . And of course made a judgement in there favor ... She feels shes GOD and above the laws.

Judge Jones [redacted] let's attorneys make her say accusations as fact with no evidence. Her reputation is horrible and known from Sacramento to San Francisco and the cities in between. I had a hard time finding an attorney to represent me when they found out who the judge was!

Judge Jones has consistently been rude and demeaning to me. Today she told every one in the court how happy she was that she was no longer an attorney. She let a pro per go on for 15 mins but insulted all the attorneys as much as possible. She seems to have a HUGE chip on her shoulder. Maybe no one liked her when she was a practicing attorney bc she is so mean. She is more interested in perfecting her long nails and $1,000 hairdo that she is in acting professionally. I really dislike her. She is very vain and rude.

Alicia Jones this judge should have been bared years ago. I was guilty from the word go. My daughters mother Cheryl Kendrick created lies and came between me and my 13 year old daughter .this judge allowed this sorry ass crap of a mom have her way literally. I couldn't get a word in edge wise.to add insult to injury.This judge asked me how much was my girlfriend making when we both didn't live together. She had her place and I had mines. She wanted to add more child support. When it wasn't even requested. I was already paying $600 a month in the 90's.Then come to find out the mother boyfriend had turned out to be a registered sex offender named Earnest lee jones of elk wood, CA what a joke. It wasn't meant for me to know this at that time. Had I known probably just be getting out of prison for probably have beaten both there asses to death.Thanks to this judge last time I seen my daughter was in 2007 when my daughter as thirteen. She is now 27.I haven't seen her in thirteen years. Yes the courts system failed me. I got tired of seeing my daughter get dragged in court and Commissioner chew knew the daughters mother was know good and that she was a liar and know show on visits. Some times you got to love your kids to let them go. my daughter is 27 yes she's pretty much brained wash. That sex offender boyfriend called me up one day in the 90's and told me my daughters mother was going to make sure I never saw my daughter again. She pretty much kept her word. I do know that one day karma is gonna kick her and that judge in the ass.If it hasn't already. I've been over it.just wanted to voice my opinion about this judge. I heard they removed her.

I haven't had many experiences with judges, she would be the first judge I've had to go in front of and I don't believe it was fair. She had her mind made up before we went in front of her. Shes sarcastic and doesn't want to hear the truth, just the lies of people who don't know what it takes to own apartments that humans can safely live in.

If you feel your rights have been violated by this judge, then let her "boss" know by filing a complaint.

Make sure to provide the name of the judge, the name of the court, your case type (civil or criminal), your name, your case number, and a clear description of the misconduct (include dates). The more detail the better. Also provide names and telephone numbers of witnesses to the misconduct.

This judge carries grudges and acts irrationally. She is not up to speed on the state of the law regardless of which type of case she is hearing.

This Judge pledged an oath to the United States, INC, not to one of We The People as the fiduciary Trustee of the Public Trust. She breaches her oath of Office and commits treason. She does not practice Law, she administrates without applying the law.....Mostly she ignores Trinsey v Pagliaro, that an attorney is either a witness sworn in with first hand knowledge or an attorney. Rules without witnesses being present. She brings shame to the courts.

I agree with every commit negative.In family court she was a real piece shit.Thanks to her i haven't seen my daughter in 14 years.She sided with the baby mother.Which makes me believe she had a real shitty life growing up as a child and decided i was a no good daddy.So she thought.really i relly don't have nothing good to say about her.I mean everyone else feels the same way i do.And she will one day have to answer to a higer power and that's god.Not that she cares but i honestly believe she was molested as a child by black man which is why she targets them in court.

This Judge is exacting and brilliant. She is fair and even tempered. Moreover, she correctly applies the case law and codes, and is more than willing to review authority and supplemental briefs. Her trial rulings are well reasoned and supported by the law. Excellent Judge all the way around.

Just completed a trial with this judge. She is delightful -- clever in her comments without being cutting, knowledgeable on the law and intent on confirming her knowledge with research, evenhanded from the bench and always polite and fair to counsel.

This judge is a piece of shame to the justice system, if there is one. She does not even look at the facts in order to judge, she passes a judgment without the opposite party there. Incompetent, vindictive, not ruling as her oath of office mandates. She commits treason She is a reason why people do not want to approach the court system.

Patient, empathetic, compassionate AND sticks to the business at hand. I have been before Judge Jones 2X.
Both were straightforward unlawful detainer cases. Both defendants were self-representing and both were clearly clueless about the process. Judge Jones explained enough to facilitate and make the process understandable and yet kept it on track...

I am an attorney in a probate matter. I was invited into Judge Jones' chambers. She had put a sewing machine on her conference table and was using her chambers as a sewing room to make quilts. She has been vindictive and irrational toward me and my client. She doesn't follow the clear statutory rules of law, and I think she is unhinged.

I agree with the other poster that this must have been a judicial selection based on race and gender. She's a horrible judge. She's smug for no reason. She's not particularly smart or knowledgeable about the law. She has a serious attitude that she tries to hold back but using a monotone but she can't hide her b*tchiness. Her fellow judges need to stick her in some crappy judicial assignment and don't let her out until she retires. There is no way this lady would have ever made it in private practice and it is not shockers she's been in government her entire career.

Dishonorable Alesia F. Jones is the biggest joke of a judge in Solano county. Is it any wonder why she was removed from Family Law Court.... She is a pompous piece of crap as a judge. If not not for affirmative action she would have never been selected as a judge. As an assistant city attorney in Vallejo, that city went belly-up. The only thing she brought to the Solano county bench in the way of experience is absolutely nothing.... A first year law student would have more legal scruples than this moron....

As city attorney of the city of Vallejo - she stuck it to the poor. As a judge - she is crass and sarcastic. She has no patience for regular people. She gets up and leaves with impatience. Oh sister, where art thou?
