What others have said about Hon. Vedica Puri

Comments

Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: CA45169
Rating:1.0

Comments:
Vedica Puri is a liar.

She pretends to respect the law and legal tradition, but the reality is that she is pushing a man hating agenda.

I had the displeasure of defending a client of mine in family court against a false accusation in her court. I brought character statements, police reports exonerating my client, and a video taped confession by the accuser in which she stated that she was not abused. Moreover, my client has no criminal record or history of violence.

Instead of dismissing the case, this incompetent judge actually upheld the restraining order. In other words, this judge chose to ignore evidence and police testimony.

If you value competence and fairness, stay as far from this “judge” as possible.

Comments:
Vedica Puri is simply the paradigm for what good judges represent. She is exacting but fair. She is judicious and allows the litigants to try their case. She properly wields authority not injecting herself into the proceedings like many judges improperly do. If you have an opportunity to try a case in front of this judge you will get a fair trial even if you may not like all of her rulings.
