| 111695 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Every negative comment is absolutely wrong. She is one of the smartest and hardest working judges I have ever come across in my entire career.

| 100110 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Worst judge I have encountered in over 30 years of trying cases. She should not be on the bench. Bad tempered. Decides who should win and then molds her rulings accordingly. You cannot rely on what she says during counsel disc...Read More | 10/26/2021 05:38 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 79507 | Litigant | No Rating | I, an African American male went before Judge Kwan as an In Pro Se for 1.5 years. She routinely held matters in chamber, and waited until the Courtroom was empty prior to calling my case forward so that no one could witness her vi...Read More | 11/27/2019 02:47 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 76966 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Judge Kwan's rulings often did not follow the law or the correct legal procedure. She also tends to continue hearings rather than ruling making you come back three and four times. She frequently makes simple things difficult. She...Read More | 10/01/2019 06:05 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 76174 | Other | No Rating | I observed this judge because my husband was involved in a lawsuit heard in her court. This judge destroyed my confidence in the justice system.

| 73583 | Litigant | No Rating | Judge Kwan is by far one of the most rediculous, vindictive human beings i've ever come across. She made rulings in the "clear absence of jurisduction", even more those rulings were not based on facts or law; just her tentatives s...Read More | 08/02/2019 12:55 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 69055 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Judge Kwan routinely raises arguments that neither side raised (and which are, invariably, wrong on the law), and she often announces how she's going to rule on a motion without having read the motion. This judge either lacks sub...Read More | 05/14/2019 04:27 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 61097 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Bad comments are probably from the losing side that didn't understand that this judge is very bright. She analyzes immediately and tries to dispense substantial justice and not just kick the can down the road. Granted she appears ...Read More | 10/30/2018 12:41 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 56562 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Hard working; on top of things; knowledge of the law. F A I R. This judge is not only excellent but excellence itself.

| 53261 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | If I ever have the misfortune of seeing this awful name on a pleading again I will run screaming to file a 170.6. She is an absolute nightmare!

| 41622 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | I have been practicing for some twenty years and my time in her court is by far my worst experience. You go into her chambers and she reads the file for the first time and never looks up, while you stand there. She has no social g...Read More | 03/25/2016 12:59 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 37045 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Kwan is completely unsuited to be a judge. She has a a bad temperment. She has no sense of when to be flexible and went to be firm. She allowed opposing counsel to waste hours of my time and thousands of dollars of my client's ...Read More | 08/21/2015 01:25 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 34854 | Litigant | No Rating | All ratings I read are FAR FROM THE TRUTH! I like her style to go in chambers. We had lots of related cases for her to read a lot in an ex-parte motion. She goes to the point. I will give her 10 stars! I hope she keeps it that...Read More | 05/19/2015 04:28 PM | Contact reviewer |

| 31849 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Between co-counsel and I, we have tried over 300 civil jury trials, and this is the WORST judge either of us have ever seen.

| 28549 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Useless pustule. Shortly after the case was filed she made an arbitrary and erroneous ruling. Rather than correcting herself (something that both sides gave her ample opportunity to do) she spent the rest of the case making to...Read More | 08/03/2014 03:01 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 28548 | Litigant | No Rating | After having encountered another poor judge who denied my TRO without reading my paperwork and then misapplyed the law to favor a city attorney, I presented a new motion to Judge Kwan on July 16, 2014 wherein I set forth conclusiv...Read More | 08/03/2014 01:09 AM | Contact reviewer |

| 27668 | Civil Litigation - Private | No Rating | There is something terribly wrong with this judge. She is absolutely nuts. She is worse than Sohigian, worse than Elizabeth Feffer. Possibly the worst judge in LASC Central. | 06/27/2014 04:45 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 27033 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Possibly THE worst judge in LASC Central if not the entire County now that Sohigian finally retired. She is rude, mean spirited and a bully. Knows absolutely NOTHING about civil procedure. Her background is criminal law but was bo...Read More | 05/17/2014 05:12 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 21510 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | By far the worse judge that I have encountered in 25 years of litigation.

| 16427 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Judge Kwan epitomizes all that is wrong with the legal system and causes average citizens to lose faith in it. She is totally incompetent and rude. Repeatedly wasted our time and that of our lawyer. She was incredibly rude and ...Read More | 07/24/2012 07:26 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 16222 | Other | No Rating | Terrible judge. She was notified that the defendants were not licensed by the Cal. Department of Real Estate, but she ruled in their favor and dismissed the complaint with prejudice in a property mortgage foreclosure lawsuit. No...Read More | 07/11/2012 01:55 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 15852 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Easily one of the worst judges in the Los Angeles Superior Court System. Uses her own set of rules. Little knowledge of the actual rules of practice. A bully, rude and demeaning. Oddly, she never takes the bench unless for trial. ...Read More | 07/02/2012 07:44 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 15315 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | One word: awful. She doesn't understand the law or approach cases with an open mind. She tries to impose her will on the lady of justice. | 06/04/2012 09:19 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 14881 | Other | No Rating | Horrible judge. Very unfair. She had no courtesy or fairness. Very un professional. She made us lose a very big case. After msc with her the losing party out of no where did some new tricks and won the case. We assume she helped t...Read More | 05/09/2012 07:41 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 13135 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | TERRIBLE! She tried to force settlement throughout. Failed to follow Court of Appeal orders, and failed to understand/follow statutory and common law.

| 12858 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | I join in the other negative reviews. This is the worst judge I have ever experienced in my entire trial carrier spanning over 25 years, in over 100 trials and binding arbitrations, throughtout the United States. Definite 170.6. | 01/09/2012 02:14 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 11831 | Litigant | No Rating | Great and very smart judge! Spend her time reading the motions! She will not tolerate mikky mouse cases, as she value her time.

| 11358 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | I loathe this judge. She is horrific in every aspect of her being. She is unpleasant, unprepared and unforgiving. What a worthless combination of molecules. | 07/16/2011 01:32 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 10717 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Just awful. Won't listen during oral argument, interrupts counsel, and lets her clueless clerks run the courtroom while she cools her heels for an hour while costing your client money. What a joke. | 05/11/2011 03:27 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 7226 | Other | No Rating | She even tries to push and bully her own family. Difficult and nosy. Likes to intimidate people. I have personally known her to make mean and snide comments. | 06/28/2010 02:11 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 6699 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | It does not matter how good an attorney you are or how well you represent your client. She's just putting in the least amount of work she thinks she can get away with so she can collect her salary. Horrible. | 02/17/2010 06:56 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 2821 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Beware of this judge. She handles most matters in chambers where she tries to bully counsel into submission off the record. Doesn't thoroughly read motions if she does read them at all. She substitutes her own rules for the Rul...Read More | 09/10/2008 01:29 PM | Contact reviewer |
