| 133837 | Other | No Rating | Judge Hirsch has conducted hearings in my matter for over a year without ever holding an arraignment or requiring that I be properly served with a complaint. This means that for more than twelve months, the case has been allowed t...Read More | 08/20/2025 09:41 PM | Contact reviewer |

| 132689 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | Very pro defendant. Not a fair or unbiased judge at all. | 05/09/2025 03:45 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 132688 | Other | No Rating | I would rate Judge Hirsh a 0, but can only give a 1 on the scale. Unfortunately, in Sexual Assault crimes against children, I've now seen him give extremely low sentencing to the perp. Not sure how this guy hasn't been investigate...Read More | 05/09/2025 03:41 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 129979 | Other | No Rating | I was absolutely appalled as a victim to see my abuser I was pressing charges against (with more than 7 felonies against me) only get sentenced 180 days by Judge David M. Hirsch sentencing to jail and gets out early; a total of on...Read More | 12/11/2024 11:24 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 119850 | Court Staff | No Rating | RE: CA48820 "You have to be prepared for his pace. He doesn't tolerate the unprepared or incompetent." This is not the demeanor of a "good judge," quite the opposite. A good judge would be willing to see the truth in a case, no...Read More | 08/08/2023 03:51 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 119849 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | One of my favorite judges. Fair and smart, but moves fast. You have to be prepared for his pace. He doesn't tolerate the unprepared or incompetent. Slight lean to the defense side of things (wish it were even more since he was ...Read More | 08/07/2023 08:58 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 119351 | Court Staff | No Rating | Dear Public, We have recently received information indicating a pattern of wrongful decisions by judge David Hirsch retaliating against criminal defendants who maintain their innocence in court and refuse plea deals. He threatene...Read More | 07/09/2023 04:30 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 116941 | Other | No Rating | This judge is the worst in the county of Ventura and the state of Ca, he refuses to see, or read any of the facts of a case and is a terrible person he should be FIRED!!! | 03/24/2023 01:38 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 109931 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | He is overly tough on criminal defendants, but he is in no way biased against minorities, as some here believe. | 09/01/2022 12:05 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 101714 | Litigant | No Rating | The comment below is right about this Judge. He is definitely biased. I am a minority and instead of looking at the facts that no evidence was presented he just assumed I was guilty. He specifically told me if I was not going to ...Read More | 12/21/2021 09:40 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 60684 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | Judge Hirsch demonstrates clear bias. He dishes out sentences that are unconscionable based on the charge. He over-rides reasonable offers made by the DA and accepted by the defense. He insists on unconscionable sentences because ...Read More | 10/18/2018 10:25 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 59064 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | Very involved in the plea bargain process. Unnecessarily so. Has no problem blowing up a proposed disposition that was agreed upon by professionals most knowlegable about the salient facts in the case. But can be open minded and...Read More | 08/26/2018 10:46 AM | Contact reviewer |
