Bostwick gets overly involved in cases, which attorneys hate and the right kind of in pro per loves. Bostwick is honest and he expects you to be honest. If you play games, expect your case to drag on. His pet peeve is people who try to confuse the court.

Zero rating. Bostwick paid an attorney whose probate letters of authorization had expired $119k for perjury and conspiracy to violate lawful court orders & discriminatory rants. Bostwick fixed the attorneys filing and in court, on the record writtten up by a court reporter stated he had fixed the filing. The case has now been going on for 16 years, 12 years before Bostwick. There is no truth, no justice, no honor before the bar in California.

Bostwick is very slick on how to discriminate against women without appearing to do so, but than I discovered he was a two time Mormon bishop and that explains all.

Note: Mormon males are taught from birth that women are only on this earth to serve men and not to listen to what they say. They see females as only a "creation" whose sole purpose is to serve men.

Jennifer Grant filed discrimination in Federal Court over Jeffrey Bostwick's treatment of a disabled in pro per. Of course the Federal judge protected the CA judge. Nothing new.

This judge is a fraud. She is quite amusing, if she wasn’t so damaging to litigants. She is not qualified to be a superior court judge.

Utterly inept...bordering criminality !!! Obviously, trained in the school of 'billable hours' !!! This Judge Bostwick feathers his 'cronie' buddies bank accounts with repeated continuence and 'case management' conferences, soaking up all of the inheritance !!! This guy is partnering with the likes of the Mafia reaping thousands for his 'associate' attorneys, with his refusal to expedite a simple case to conclusion. Utterly despicable !!! Stay as far away from this Judge Bostwick as possible. I'll be referring this case to the Commission of Judicial Review. Hopefully they will review this Judge Bostwick and have him removed from the bench.

Between Judge BOSTWICK and his friend and partner in crime DIANE PETERS, I lost my house due to their under handedness. I thought a judge was suppose to grant a fair hearing with the truth prevailing? You will never get a fair administration of justice in BOSTWICK'S courtroom, be fore warned. You have the right to recuse a judge, if you draw BOSTWICK recuse him immediately, especially if DIANE PETERS is involved. His rating is a big ZERO. Even a One (1) rating is too damn high for BOSTWICK. I could tell prioer to a decision being rendered that the proverbial fix was in on me and I was going to loose my home. How dare they. What goes around comes around, and they too shall be judged one day by their Creator, that's my only relief to know that they too shall be judged! Just know that BOSTWICK has no regard or respect for what is written in contracts, trusts or even the law. I grew up in a police family, always respecting the judicial system. I have much respect for the robe JUST NOT EVERY MAN WEARING IT!!!

Between Diane Peters and her partner in crime Judge Bostwick our Family's Trust is being depleted to their benefit. Peter's, her CPA and her attorney and her assistant continue billing us from Feb. 8, 2017 to present, August 28, 2018. Isn't it the Trustee's responsibility to safeguard the beneficiaries? Not ROB them? What a total scam! All properties have been sold months ago!

Worst then a 1 - zero! We walked into court 2/8/17 & it was obvious the decision was already made before we got a chance to plead our case in any way. It was turned over to a Private Fiduciary because Judge Bostwick wanted it off his desk. He has no respect for what's written in the Trust - he most likely didn't read it. We were supended as Co-Trustees on the spot. Now we are racking up bills from the Fiduciary - Diane Peters, her attorneys, her accountants, her assistances and she say she doesn't need to show us a bill? She has done nothing so far and hasn't kept us informed. We have no idea what to do at this point.

Judge Bostwick rushed to judgment and did not consider the wording of the Trust. Why do we have legal documents if they are ignored? It is very sad that someone works their entire life, writes a trust to leave their property to whom they desire only to have their wished ignored by Judge Bostwick.

We believe this judge has demonstrated a dereliction of duties and has created huge, monumental expenses to be paid by the Trust. He verbalized that he did not want to tie up the courts time and rushed his judgment with no regard towards the meaning or wording of the Trust or how his judgment will effect the beneficiaries.

The North County FBI has been taking reports about how the probate court, private fiduciaries and their attorneys have been acting in collusion to milk the money from estates. The beneficiaries, conservatees, or minors never even see what inheritance they were suppose to receive. If enough persons who have been affected follow through and make a report, the federal prosecutor may bring RICO charges against them. If this has happened to you, call 760-929-0811 or 858-320-1800. These are the phone numbers for the FBI. Tell them you would like to make a report regarding RICO violations by the probate court and/or private fiduciaries and their attorneys.
