Worst "judge" ever! I am disappointed to see this racist is still a California judge: if you are wealthy or represented by a wealthy firm in his courtroom, I predict that you will win. I urge that this incompetent judge, who was t...Read More05/17/2024 10:03 PMContact reviewer

He dismisses cases right before they go to trial if it requires too much mental dexterity and he doesn’t want to deal with it. He also appears to favor the defendant if it’s the state of CA as a state employee himself08/18/2023 05:41 PMContact reviewer

Judge Mackey is 93 and has abandoned reading the pleadings. He relies entirely on this law clerk and his clerk gets it wrong a lot. Oral argument is pointless because Judge Mackey has no idea why you are standing before him or the...Read More07/17/2023 07:37 PMContact reviewer

Geriatric. He is literally 94 years old. This is why CA needs age limit for judges, which the majority of states have. Physically feeble, mentally incompetent. Total nightmare.06/12/2022 01:41 PMContact reviewer

The Judicial Council needs to take action. This judge does not read papers and goes off the cuff based on wrong facts and law. I see the comments about him being senile and I unfortunately have to agree. When there is no court ...Read More02/02/2022 01:16 PMContact reviewer

48989Civil Litigation - PrivateNo RatingThe honorable judge seems prejudiced. You stand no chance if you are not from his "circles" and his "Circles" cannot possibly have people who don't look like him.

Senile judge, thinks he heard it all so he doesn't feel the need to hear argument from anyone disagreeing with his views, even when he is clearly wrong on the legal standard, simply not interested. Will just rule for the big corpo...Read More04/15/2016 07:39 PMContact reviewer

Judge Mackey is a no-nonsense, get-to-the-point-and-don't-try-to-snow-me judge. He will listen to your arguments, if you have something useful to add. But he has lots of experience, and he has heard it all. He is not going to put ...Read More12/27/2013 02:55 PMContact reviewer

It's not that he's too old--he was bad right out of the gate. Flipping a coin would produce better rulings on trial objections. He's pleasant enough--just not very good.03/19/2013 05:56 PMContact reviewer
