127884	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	Bad temper, rude, and self-absorbed. Should not be on the bench.	07/18/2024 07:48 PM	Contact reviewer
125193	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	This is one of the more intense courtroom experiences in southern California, and maybe one of the most intense state-court experiences anywhere. Trial goes Mon-Fri, no dark days or breaks, no wasting the jury's time and no excu...Read More	02/15/2024 01:13 PM	Contact reviewer
124735	Civil Litigation - Govt.	View Details	To say 'lacks judicial temperament' would be a mild statement. He gets off on barking at counsel and interrupting them mid-sentence. He didn't read the briefs. He thinks he knows everything. He'll go through the motions of jud...Read More	01/15/2024 04:54 PM	Contact reviewer
120221	Civil Litigation - Private	No Rating	He approaches complex civil cases like a criminal judge or DA. Has no interest in discussing any issue or listening to counsel. He lacks appropriate judicial temperament.	08/28/2023 11:33 AM	Contact reviewer
105600	Civil Litigation - Private	No Rating	Great trial judge. Makes you happy to be a lawyer. Be prepared. Stick with the evidence. A compassionate, fair, smart guy who is prepared and has a crazy memory.	06/13/2022 08:56 PM	Contact reviewer
104811	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	As others have said he reads the papers and is well prepared for law and motion. He's willing to make a hard call. He is generally convivial. Avoid being unprepared or long winded with him, I've seen him come down hard.	05/10/2022 07:00 PM	Contact reviewer
103831	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	He puts in the work, reads the papers and understands complex issues, is willing to make difficult decisions, and moves cases forward. Oral argument is not perfunctory, he moves a bit off his tentatives with good argument. He gen...Read More	03/29/2022 08:52 PM	Contact reviewer

62613	Criminal Defense Lawyer	View Details	Judge Kim is one of the few, very few judges, that actually reads the papers, applies the law without bias, and gives both sides a fair opportunity to present their arguments. Not many of these judges left.	12/12/2018 12:38 PM	Contact reviewer
55557	Other	No Rating	Paper this judge. Biased, unfair, unjust. Have your case heard by someone else. Might be prejudiced against other minorities or might be oro Asian group!!! Ruling in one of the cases clearely showed a litigant at a disandvantage, ...Read More	05/01/2018 01:12 AM	Contact reviewer
4665	Criminal Defense Lawyer	View Details	Imagine the most officious and hostile police deputy you possibly can, then fit it into a short man. That's this judge.	02/06/2009 06:59 PM	Contact reviewer
3683	Criminal Defense Lawyer	No Rating	This man is atrocious, and a disgrace to the bench. He has never left the District Attorney's office, in his mind. When a jury was hung, he actually asked the D.A. if his office would mind if a mistrial was declared. What? He i...Read More	12/11/2008 01:09 PM	Contact reviewer
