67734Criminal Defense LawyerNo Rating"Shigi" is overdue to be placed into pasture. He will receive a nice pension and he can start with the cross word puzzles to halt that senility that he must be developing. Such a lazy thing.04/09/2019 06:06 PMContact reviewer

View Details		"Judge" Hiroshige just drew a PUBLIC public admonishment by the Commission on Judicial Performance for his decades-long practice of allowing his clerk and his courtroom attendant to run his courtroom, plus other bad acts like put...Read More11/11/2018 12:48 AMContact reviewer

View Details		As I was typing my comment about Hiroshige, I saw the new comment just posted a few minutes ago by someone else. Coincidentally, that person took the wind out of my sails by basically making the same points that I was going to mak...Read More09/14/2018 10:28 AMContact reviewer
57711Criminal Defense LawyerNo RatingThe worst courtroom ever! The Judicial Assistant is the one running the courtroom and lawyers even call HIM the judge. Judge never comes out. Someone needs to report both of them.07/11/2018 04:02 PMContact reviewer
57255Civil Litigation - Private
View Details		If your client doesn't wish to waste thousands of dollars by paying you to sit around and do nothing, then avoid this judge like the plague. He is routinely 1.5 to 2 hours late for EVERY hearing, rarely reads the papers, and emplo...Read More06/25/2018 11:49 AMContact reviewer
52258OtherNo RatingStanley Mosk Ct.House is a cesspool. Too many scumbag lawyers and judges running this dump. All you dirt bags need to get a real job that actually produces something. Not a legal job that produces nothing. Ya all are a bunch of lo...Read More10/21/2017 10:22 PMContact reviewer
51203Civil Litigation - Private
View Details		Terrible experience in this courtroom. Judge was rude and impatient even though he was responsible for delays. Courtroom assistant is a human dumpster fire. Rude to everyone, but based on Judge Hiroshige's attitude, she has a m...Read More08/22/2017 12:04 AMContact reviewer
49140Civil Litigation - PrivateNo RatingHis Courtroom Assistant is like a freaking dictator and runs the courtroom as if it is her fiefdom. These people are absolutely miserable. File your 170.6 asap.04/26/2017 12:42 PMContact reviewer
44712Civil Litigation - Private
View Details		When he does get involved, he focuses on some tangential and almost totally irrelevant thing none of the lawyers care about. Wastes time on this and does not rule. Frustrates the lawyers to no end. I honestly don't think he ought...Read More08/11/2016 01:14 PMContact reviewer

View Details		Horrible judge: lazy, chronically very late, lets his clerks run his courtroom during his chronic absences and extreme tardiness.07/06/2016 02:54 PMContact reviewer
43890Civil Litigation - Private
View Details		Useless as a judge, except you can count on him not following black letter law. The court clerk and bailiff run the courtroom and he never takes the bench. They are miserable and want you to share in their misery. They obviousl...Read More06/23/2016 01:22 PMContact reviewer

View Details		He should have been FIRED years ago. But, since that won't happen: use your 170.6. His clerk is a horrible human.05/20/2016 12:00 PMContact reviewer

37107Criminal Defense LawyerNo RatingName one judge in Stanley Mosk who likes to work? The entire bldg. is a disgrace. From the filthy hallways and bathrooms to the incompetent judges and their crusty staff. They should have a reality show with these crusty creatures...Read More08/25/2015 08:19 PMContact reviewer
31890Civil Litigation - Private
View Details		Yikes. Failing to paper this judge is inviting all manner of due process violation against your client. This judge is completely absent, instead unlawfully delegating his duty to a clerk and courtroom attendant who at best are i...Read More12/26/2014 05:00 PMContact reviewer
28082Civil Litigation - Govt.
View Details		Commenter CA5211 summed it up the best - Avoid him like the plague! By far the worst judge I ever appeared before in my practice. Always late, never takes the bench, takes weeks to rule (in my case over 45 days on a simple law ...Read More07/15/2014 01:24 PMContact reviewer
27032Civil Litigation - Private
View Details		Barely tolerable as trial judge. Would give a zero rating on pre-trial matters if the rating system here allowed. Never takes the bench. Relies on tentative rulings which appear to be written by someone with a 6th grad education a...Read More05/17/2014 05:06 PMContact reviewer
24450Civil Litigation - Private
View Details		This judge is short-tempered. He will not deviate from a tentative ruling, even if the information that he has been given is incorrect. He tends to berate attorneys appearing before him during discussions of the law and motions.12/04/2013 11:29 AMContact reviewer
24010Civil Litigation - Private
View Details		I spent six weeks trying a complex fraud matter before Judge Hiroshige and found him to be engaged in the matter, extremely thorough in rulings (which were well researched), and very respectful of attorneys, some of whom were clea...Read More11/01/2013 06:37 PMContact reviewer
22052Civil Litigation - Private
View Details		Seems like most comments here are from law and motion participants, and his courtroom varies from most in this regard. However, having had a long jury trial over which he presided, I can say that he is a good judge to try a case i...Read More06/16/2013 10:18 AMContact reviewer
20685Civil Litigation - Private
View Details		You are expected to be in court at 8:30 but, if he takes the bench at all, he will not do so until 10:00 or later. He often takes motions under submission, waiting weeks to rule. He had MSJs under submission for a month. We wer...Read More03/22/2013 02:11 PMContact reviewer

13571Civil Litigation - Private
View Details		I suffered through one case in his courtroom. I agree with much of what others have said. He is lazy & not bright. He is 20 yrs. past his retirement. He never takes the bench & it appears that his clerk makes all decisions on pend...Read More02/17/2012 02:44 PMContact reviewer

View Details		Very strange judge, he didn't allow any argument on motions, just issued rulings from chambers. As far as I recall he never even took the bench during pre-trial proceedings, everything was handled by the clerk. Passive aggressiv...Read More12/22/2010 06:54 PMContact reviewer
9064Civil Litigation - Private
View Details		This guy doesn't like to work, which means that his clerk/research attorney rules the roost, while he sits placidly on the bench. One of my least favorite judges, because he's not really there.09/30/2010 04:03 PMContact reviewer
