| 102485 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Smart. Fair Patient I tried a long bifurcated-liability and damages- trial before her. Both verdicts for plaintiff and her trial and post trial rulings were correct. Verdict affirmed on appeal. Not hesitant to appear b...Read More | 01/28/2022 06:15 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 75610 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Great judge. Well read on cases at issue and the law. Engages counsel on legal arguments. Courteous and runs a well balanced courtroom. | 09/05/2019 02:38 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 68868 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | I appeared before her in a case that was set for trial in her court. She has a nice temperament. She is not hard on lawyers, and sets workable schedules. She is very, very smart. If you have a lousy case, you probably don't wa...Read More | 05/10/2019 10:50 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 67995 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | If she likes you, you can do okay in her courtroom. She seems to have a preference for male attorneys. She is very unpredictable, which isn't a great trait in a civil trial lawyer. I would not want to try another case in her co...Read More | 04/17/2019 07:23 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 61563 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | I've waited a long time to post this review. When, immediately after the hearing, other attorneys you've never met go out of their way to come talk to you on the street and tell you "you've GOT to appeal that ruling" you know jus...Read More | 11/13/2018 04:06 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 60730 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | I find Judge kendig, to be very biased, and judgemental, with little ability or inclination to see thru obvious lies, and very unwilling to unravel webs of deciet to get to the Truth. | 10/20/2018 05:34 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 54912 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Reviewing the various postings, there is no middle ground, and those who give this judge high marks are undoubtedly those who have benefited from her favoritism, in court or out. I urge anyone who is interested in a preemptively u...Read More | 03/28/2018 04:15 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 54323 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Please, please do not believe any rating over a 1. The ratings you see that are 10 are family opinions. This is the worst judge you will ever deal with. If she favors you, you have to feel sorry for your opponent because nothin...Read More | 02/22/2018 04:40 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 51005 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | She should be an automatic 170.6. If Kendig takes a disliking to an attorney she will make his/her life a living hell. After she picks the side she likes, nothing else matters. She doesn't even try and hide her bias and hostility....Read More | 08/09/2017 01:28 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 49837 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Judge Kendig is one of the best at Stanley Mosk. She sticks to her guns on legal issues (she seems to know the cases she cites and discusses, unlike many other judicial officers who rely upon their research attorneys alone). Sh...Read More | 05/30/2017 05:22 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 49003 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | The reason she is biased and stubborn about it and doctors the reporter's transcript is because she's on the take. I figure she taking money because she screwed me at strategic points in my case and seemed to have ex-parte communi...Read More | 04/19/2017 04:02 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 45301 | Civil Litigation - Private | No Rating | She denied my motion for summary judgment because I was moving to have several causes of actions dismiss. She said "you cannot have causes of actions dismissed on a motion for summary judgment. Only the entire action." She do...Read More | 09/11/2016 08:08 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 45234 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Disturbingly bad! She ignored the law and the law she didn't ignore she was wrong on. Even when I pointed out statutory law....which she checked because she didn't know what she should have, she still ignored the law and stood b...Read More | 09/07/2016 11:32 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 43997 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | She's right at the top of my 170.6 list. | 06/28/2016 04:56 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 43995 | Other | No Rating | Staggeringly ignorant of some fundamental legal principles, and incredibly intransigent -- even in the face of clear authority contrary to her preconceived (and erroneous) conclusions. | 06/28/2016 04:49 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 43814 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Good judge. Very bright. Fair. Capable of crabbiness if the attorney screws up. | 06/19/2016 06:13 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 42718 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | I sympathize with all the negative opinions below. She's smart, articulate, well educated - but unfortunately she acts really stupid far too often. She's stubborn too. Falls into the time waster category as well. I wish I cou...Read More | 05/13/2016 03:24 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 42369 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Be prepared to have your hearings set out between 12 and 18 months. Slowest calendar in Stanley Mosk. | 04/27/2016 11:48 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 38641 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Horrendous calendar management and doesn't care. Vindictive, doesn't know the law and doesn't care. She'll decide who she thinks is right and make every ruling for that side regardless of whether the clear law supports her decis...Read More | 11/02/2015 04:15 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 37665 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | I personally found her to be biased and unwilling to adhere to fact specific case law. | 09/21/2015 09:32 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 37660 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | The most scholarly judge I have ever appeared before. Judge Kendig made me a better lawyer. | 09/21/2015 07:09 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 33183 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | Great if your on the defense. Plus your case will anguish forever because she can't handle her law and motion calendar or trial calendar. Just filing a demurrer will get you an extra year. 170.6 if your plaintiff, especially if...Read More | 02/27/2015 12:56 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 29832 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | One of the most biased, intemperate, insecure judges on the bench. | 10/03/2014 03:13 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 27785 | Litigant | No Rating | Her quote to my Attorney: "I should have you sanctioned for representing people like this." "an unlawful detainer case is unwinnable". Notables-lowly process servers get a free pass, as do wealthy real estate moguls. | 07/02/2014 12:41 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 25395 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | She is very smart and very well-prepared. | 02/26/2014 12:22 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 24560 | Civil Litigation - Govt. | View Details | I sat through a trial of a colleague's, so I had the benefit of watching her and her decision-making process when it came to ruling on objections. It was clear to me that she had absolutely no deliberative process whatsoever. She ...Read More | 12/11/2013 02:58 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 23419 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | The best comment that I ever heard about her is that she should just get up from the bench and take a seat at the defense table. She is the judge that 170.6 was made for. Save yourself a huge headache and paper her or she will rui...Read More | 09/24/2013 02:57 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 19810 | Other | No Rating | Mercurial. On a run of the mill case she's fine. On a complicated case she doesn't want to deal with it. Tends toward indecision. She transfers the burden back to the attorneys. | 01/30/2013 07:47 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 15778 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | A definite 170.6 | 06/27/2012 10:20 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 15258 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | I found Judge Kendig to be a very biased judge and, like others here have said, once she makes up her mind, there is no argument that you could make to change it. In my case, I read CA Supreme Court dicta to her to support my posi...Read More | 06/01/2012 07:08 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 15256 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Excellent judge. Need more like her. | 06/01/2012 06:52 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 12802 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | This judge is the most underrated judge currently sitting on any California superior court. | 01/02/2012 02:54 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 10210 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Judge Kendig does not read the caselaw that is cited in the briefs nor does she follow prevailing authority on certain issues. She is neither polite nor courteous to certain attorneys. As stated by one of the other commentators...Read More | 03/21/2011 04:00 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 10031 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Judge Kendig is extremely intelligent and is well versed in procedure and evidence. She is very knowledgeable with respect to most areas of substantive law and is a quick learner if she is faced with an unfamilar legal issue. Ma...Read More | 02/25/2011 12:16 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 9484 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Judge Kendig is highly intelligent and sophisticated. Once she decides the outcome she wants, the case is over. She knows how to steer the case into a place where her discretion determines the outcome. Her instincts are pro-li...Read More | 12/02/2010 06:25 PM | Contact reviewer |
