| 129429 | Litigant | No Rating | I don't agree with his prejudice toward women. I've been before him numerous times and can't say there is a basis for that accusation. He seems reasonable and even-handed. Wants both sides to have their say. The only time I saw a ...Read More | 11/01/2024 10:39 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 78941 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | He will read your papers, but I get the sense that he lacks any business experience. Not a good judge for you if you have a complex business transaction in dispute. I would not 170.6 right away however, in light of the quality of ...Read More | 11/14/2019 04:30 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 78926 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | This judge is all personal. If you do something he doesn't like, including something in the course of the litigation itself that has nothing to do with the merits of your claim, he will find every opportunity to nail you on a tech...Read More | 11/14/2019 01:42 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 65607 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | Civil rights defense lawyers good luck. You don't stand a chance. Linfield begins preaching to your jury as soon as they are impaneled. He will show a civil rights slide show to them in court. I'm being serious here. He shows them...Read More | 02/21/2019 04:29 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 60941 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Judge Linfield is a very good judge. He listens and I can tell he reads the briefs. There should be more Judges like Judge Linfield.

| 59740 | Litigant | No Rating | Like the evaluator, Jane Ellen Shatz, that suggested custody for my ex husband who was tested to have a multiplicity of disorders, judge Michael’s license to practice law should be revoked. In addition to losing her license to pra...Read More | 09/17/2018 11:44 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 59739 | Civil Litigation - Private | No Rating | Fairness and rule of law is immaterial for this judge. Only his personal agenda | 09/17/2018 11:19 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 54532 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | He's a punitive little man. Does not issue rulings based on the law but rather on his personal feelings. Really just a waste of a bench seat. I'm sure he could be easily overturned on 90% of his decisions except that it doesnt mak...Read More | 03/06/2018 12:26 PM | Contact reviewer |

| 54242 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | One of the best judges in CA, and maybe in the US. Very smart and evenhanded. Actually reads the briefs from both sides and listens to the oral arguments by both sides and makes a decision that both sides can readily accept. I wil...Read More | 02/18/2018 06:49 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 53932 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | I recently had a litigation case with Judge Linfield.

| 50490 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | He makes up his mind about the parties ahead of the case. Does he google them? The party has no chance after he's decided they don't deserve their day in court. | 07/09/2017 04:39 PM | Contact reviewer |

| 49904 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | I have had several matters before Judge Linfield and have tried two cases to him. I am a female attorney, and it is absolutely untrue that he is biased against women. He is a fair and studious Judge. One of the best in Los Angeles...Read More | 06/02/2017 02:18 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 47751 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Stay away. Biased. Ignorant and stubborn. Does not know what he does not know. | 02/15/2017 03:40 PM | Contact reviewer |

| 41371 | Civil Litigation - Private | No Rating | I agree with previous comment: law and facts are meaningless for Judge Linfield. You will do better with Judge Judy and certainly with jury. Avoid bench trial with Linfield. Run for your life. | 03/10/2016 12:09 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 40075 | Litigant | No Rating | A word of advice if you have Judge Linfield preside over your trial..... He is not objective. He does not follow the law or let law guide his decisions. He is more guided by his personal feelings about a case. If you have a be...Read More | 01/08/2016 06:39 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 35823 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | An embarrassment to our judicial system with clear and obvious personal prejudicial practices. He rightly acknowledges the incredible, unparalleled and phenomenal work of Dr. Martin Luther King yet hypocritically judges others. ...Read More | 06/27/2015 08:26 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 29995 | Civil Litigation - Private | No Rating | He is a dangerous biased judge. Dangerous because he hides it well. He will disregard the law and trap the lawyer into waiving issues on appeal. Agree with previous comments. Judge Lingield is biased against female attorneys and l...Read More | 10/12/2014 10:13 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 29023 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Bent over backwards for the other side, the plaintiff. Don't know if this is because I am a woman, but that seems to be a problem for him. | 08/27/2014 08:47 PM | Contact reviewer |
