| 135096 | Court Staff | View Details | Dear Public, In my years of advocacy, Judge Borrell has stood out as one of the most boorish and unfair. Years ago I was contacted by a local Ventura politician regarding his conduct, and it mirrored what I already knew. He runs ...Read More | 02/04/2026 08:28 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 133867 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Judge Borrell can be smart and reasonable, but chooses not to be. His staff, the clerk and bailiff, are extremely rude, screaming and yelling. This is a courtroom that is a joke because of the clerk and bailiff. | 08/26/2025 03:05 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 133651 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Definitely to punctual, but Judge Borrell refuses to even spend a few minutes reviewing the file on cases appearing before him.

| 133217 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Goodness, the previous reviews were very concerning.

| 129813 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Shoots from the hip. Smart guy but rules off of his memory of what the law is, which is frequently wrong.

| 129290 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Incompetent, biased, misogynistic, hates self-represented litigants. He's self-absorbed.

| 114497 | Court Staff | No Rating | RE: CA45206 My experience has been that Borrell is biased, lacks evenhandedness, and can be rude especially when challenged about it.

| 114473 | Court Staff | No Rating | RE: CA45190 Dear “attorney,” This is the type of post that a judge, or a close associate, would make to deflect from legitimate criticism.

| 111288 | Court Staff | No Rating | Judge Borrell is a sycophant and a menace to our community. He must be opposed as the scoundrel that he is.

| 105475 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | My early impression of Judge Hon. Borrell was that I did not want to be in his court room.

| 103464 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | RE: CA39372 This is the type of post written by the judge in question or an associate.

| 78524 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Judge Borrell provides detailed tentatives and statements of decision, which makes review easy one way or the other for the court of appeal--even if he is wrong.

| 52915 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Borrel is a the worst judge ever. It is obvious that he is not interested in all the "important facts" about a case.
