116821	Litigant	No Rating	How anyone could give this judge a rating higher than a zero is mind boggling.

116633	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	Had a recent matter involving a mechanics lien to be removed. Judge Falls handled it efficiently, intelligently and with even a bit of humor.

106059	Litigant	No Rating	Ordered that a pro per of less than modest means being monitored for cancer recurrence pay $27,000 to a discovery referee, and another $18k is coming on August 18 ignoring decades of case law. The man is incompetent, vindictive an...Read More	07/03/2022 09:53 AM	Contact reviewer
101998	Litigant	No Rating	He hates pro per litigants. Does not read their filings. He is allowing OPC to file motions to allocate $28k discovery referee fees on to a pro per litigant and refuses to consider economic inability despite substantial case law. ...Read More	01/06/2022 11:01 PM	Contact reviewer
74533	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	Judge Thomas Falls is lazy, disregards the law and facts. and biased towards the plaintiff. Unprofessional and egregious at every turn! Recuse this judge! Protect your client and the integrity of our judicial system.	08/18/2019 10:58 AM	Contact reviewer
73016	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	Nice man but very conservative. He certainly listens to the evidence and gives attention to counsel when arguing; however, perhaps his years as a prosecutor have made him conservative to the extent that he leans toward the defens...Read More	07/23/2019 07:01 AM	Contact reviewer
71767	Other	No Rating	Judge Falls is a disaster, master manipulator with no regard for the rule of law. Be very wary if you are stuck with him and cannot get a new judge. Falls likes to go off record to badger and bully the defendant. Object every time...Read More	07/01/2019 09:29 AM	Contact reviewer
70144	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	In my 50 years of practice I've never had a judge treat my civil case as though the defendant were a criminal, constantly stated such no matter how many times I informed him my client is has never been arrested or convicted of any...Read More	06/09/2019 01:48 PM	Contact reviewer
70108	Other	No Rating	Thomas Falls sitting on the bench is a travesty of the law. Falls blatantly hates defendants, ignores the law, dares counsel to appeal stating he doesn't care, and is unethical immoral making back room deals. If assigned to his co...Read More	06/08/2019 09:38 AM	Contact reviewer

Absolutely no empathy, doesn't even attempt to consider or read any recommendations from other courts, programs, current status reports on progress.

52396	Other	No Rating	The President of the United States declared a national emergency of opioid addiction. An epidemic. This is how Judge Falls responds to this emergency. A 32 yr old father, first time in 15 years sober, just successfully complete...Read More	10/28/2017 09:45 AM	Contact reviewer
52394	Other	No Rating	Very unprofessional! In my opinion he shouldn’t be a judge. He makes hasty decisions without even really looking at the information or the individual. He is a good reason why our California jail system is over crowded.	10/27/2017 10:34 PM	Contact reviewer
46487	Criminal Defense Lawyer	View Details	Not the worst judge in Pomona. Would go to him over several other judges there.	11/28/2016 04:19 PM	Contact reviewer
36019	Criminal Defense Lawyer	View Details	Unlike many other judges in Pomona, Judge Falls is deceptively pleasant on the bench. His folksy style becomes a tad annoying with his kneejerk rulings in favor of the prosecution and his tendency to make up the law as he goes alo...Read More	07/07/2015 11:28 AM	Contact reviewer
