| 111691 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | DEFENSE BAR: AVOID AT ALL COSTS Dabel, unlike most former DAs who become judges, leans heavily in favor of the prosecution, as others have noted. He ignores the DA’s mistakes, instinctively rules in the their favor regardless of t...Read More | 11/09/2022 08:47 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 104149 | Litigant | No Rating | I also agree with all the people here who gave him Rating: 1.0 I have the same point of views about him. It's been very painful experiences to deal with him at Court. Judge Dabel is very biased in my case. He never prepared well...Read More | 04/15/2022 12:19 AM | Contact reviewer |

| 102341 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | I previously posted on 4/8/20, 6/20/20 and 12/23/21. This post is in response to Criminal Defense Lawyer's post of 1/23/22. Because Judge Dabel came from the District Attorney's Office, he MIGHT be able to function legally and e...Read More | 01/23/2022 01:41 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 102335 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | A recent addition to San Mateo County. Young and conscientious. I understand San Mateo sends new judges to start in Family Court. Judge Dabel made every effort to understand the matter and make an equitable ruling. We need fai...Read More | 01/23/2022 11:37 AM | Contact reviewer |

| 101207 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Judge Dabel was fair and reputable once but over the last 2.5 years he has been gradually corrupted by the system and some dishonest and manipulative attorneys. He rescheduled a status conference 5 times and rubber stamped a cour...Read More | 12/08/2021 07:51 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 79517 | Litigant | No Rating | Overall my court experience was very good. It’s important that if you are representing yourself and you can’t afford an attorney go to the Facilitators office. Nudge Dabel wants people to use that free help. He will listen and try...Read More | 11/28/2019 02:32 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 76633 | Litigant | No Rating | 10 years and 4 judges later, finally something good could be happening for San Mateo Family Court. Former Family Court judges were burnt out, letting a criminal run games on the system, commit perjury over and over while violating...Read More | 09/24/2019 06:15 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 75393 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Judge Dabel takes the bench unprepared on the facts and the law. He is quick to anger, does not handle is calendar efficiently, and is condescending to attorneys and litigants. He adopts FCS recommendation by rubber stamp. | 08/30/2019 07:26 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 73711 | Litigant | No Rating | Judge Daniel is being indoctrinated by the family law system of abuse and wealth of power in the very small courthouse of San Mateo. The shocking part is that he is commuting these acts, as he’s going to take the fall for those w...Read More | 08/04/2019 08:19 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 73660 | Other | No Rating | Judge Dabel clearly hates family, knows little to nothing about it and he is extremely sexist. If a woman goes up against a man, good luck. I have argued many sh**** motions and positions, never having to get fired up. When women ...Read More | 08/03/2019 10:44 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 72928 | Other | No Rating | I have documents of fraud committed by Dabel and confirmed by San Mateo records, and submitted to Appellate Court. | 07/20/2019 11:55 AM | Contact reviewer |
