131402	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	Super huge and rough calendar. Really unfair to all litigants and this Judge. The circumstances that make this Judge the way he is due to the fact that the Judge is grossly overburdened by his calendar.	03/10/2025 11:55 AM	Contact reviewer
131117	Other	No Rating	When I lost everything in the Palisades Fire, our house burned to ash, my child's school burned to ash, we were bouncing around hotel rooms and could not find stable housing, and I was the primary caregiver for my 5 year old, this...Read More	02/17/2025 03:08 PM	Contact reviewer
104566	Criminal Defense Lawyer	View Details	HATES PRO PER LITIGANTS OBVIOUSLY. SHOULD NOT BE A JUDGE. DOES NOT CARE ABOUT LAW, ONLY BIAS. REFUSES TO ADDRESS OR ABIDE BY NOTWITHSTANDING LAW WHEN PRO PER LITIGANTS PRESENT.	04/29/2022 09:08 PM	Contact reviewer
100192	Litigant	No Rating	Judge violated his judicial oath by not reading pro per litigants complaint. Judge first read defendants lawyer's demurrer. Lawyer provoked error filing a baseless demurrer berating pro per litigant and did not address ONE authori...Read More	10/30/2021 12:02 PM	Contact reviewer
74798	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	I was in court for an ex parte and watched the entire motion calendar first. After over 40 years of practice, I have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly too many times. The bad reviews of this judge are idiotic and inaccurate. He...Read More	08/21/2019 05:50 PM	Contact reviewer
37378	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	This judge does not bother to read the law or apply anything practical. Despite refusing to allow people to exaust all their motions or procedural outcomes he would rather be King rather than follow procedure. He does whatever t...Read More	09/03/2015 06:48 PM	Contact reviewer
36742	Litigant	No Rating	Ruled summarily without care for the law or facts. Stubborn, demeaning, patronizing and arrogant. Had to take his ruling up and got him reversed. He fought all the way when the law was clearly against him. In my opinion, very ...Read More	08/07/2015 01:13 AM	Contact reviewer
35405	Civil Litigation - Govt.	View Details	Did not recuse himself until day 2 in a hearing involving a plaintiff with whom he had a long association. Claimed he did not know but the plaintiff was listed as a witness and sat in the court room. It may not have been the first...Read More	06/13/2015 07:08 PM	Contact reviewer
29078	Litigant	No Rating	Ford will say one thing one day and the next day he will say the exact opposite- Paid off? I believe 100% absolutely without a single shred of any doubt... He doesn't read, he doesn't know the LAW - just watch him for a minute - ...Read More	08/31/2014 11:42 AM	Contact reviewer
28329	Criminal Defense Lawyer	View Details	He asked a biased opposing counsel re what the law was, and counsel told him only a portion; the defendant ended up violating; a protective order could have stopped the defendant cold. this judge is more of an idiot than judge Hah...Read More	07/24/2014 09:51 PM	Contact reviewer
26553	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	In a case where the law was crystal clear (as in, NO facts OR law supporting the opposing party), Ford ruled for that party anyway. His ruling will undoubtedly be reversed on appeal, but that is, of course, a lot of extra work and...Read More	04/17/2014 05:50 PM	Contact reviewer
