| 126498 | Other | No Rating | If you’ve already appeared before Judge Meiers and she was nice to you, great, stick with her because you could literally punch opposing counsel right in open court, and she would nod at you and say “nicely done.” To everyone else...Read More | 04/26/2024 08:53 PM | Contact reviewer |

| 105694 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Judge Meiers is the worse judge I have ever dealt with. She clearly doesn't know the law, doesn't know what hearings are even on her calendar.

| 104902 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Unfit, lost objectivity. Get every hearing reported then be amazed at how many different people are in there. or maybe it is the clerks. No idea. Had her reversed twice on writs. | 05/15/2022 09:20 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 103435 | Litigant | No Rating | Rude and does not conform to normal court proceedure. Gave defendant more than just one bite of the apple.

| 79005 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | It is malpractice to not paper Judge Meiers. She is the ultimate proof of the fallacy of the value of judicial immunity. Total and utter disdain for the system she represents, truly sobering. | 11/16/2019 02:46 AM | Contact reviewer |

| 75406 | Other | No Rating | Commits fraud. Can easily be bought by the opposing party. If you’re a rich employer, this is the judge for you. If you’re an employee, you might as well not even bother because u will lose. | 08/31/2019 12:49 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 69265 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | The worst judge I have ever experienced as a litigator with 20 years of experience. She is a complete disgrace to the profession.

| 67962 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Rude and obnoxious to everyone! She picks a side and makes up the law and facts to obtain her desired result. The worse judge in downtown. Automatic 170.6 everytime. | 04/16/2019 06:05 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 58369 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Likely the worst judge at LASC. She is inappropriate and makes erratic decisions and will make direct statements of bias in open court.

| 53843 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | In an employment case it was clear the she had not even read the opposition papers but was so clearly pro defense. She also had a poor understanding of employment law. | 01/29/2018 04:00 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 52637 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Totally biased in favor of corporate defendant. Prejudicial comments from the bench made resolution impossible. Couldn't make the simplest decision, took everything under submission and then sat on the rulings. | 11/13/2017 12:37 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 50826 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | One of those rare cases where both prosecution and defense should 170.6 her. My witness was set to arrive at 1:30 pm., judge said " we are working through lunch, so either put your defendant on stand or rest." During closing she ...Read More | 07/29/2017 06:44 AM | Contact reviewer |

| 46408 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Barbara Meiers is an idiot. Oh, and lazy and petulant and stupid and misguided and wrong on every substantive legal point ever to reach her desk.

| 45018 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | I echo the prior negative reviews. This lady jurist is a lun and a train wreck.

| 40930 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | I have practiced for many years and have a good reputation with the judges in Stanley Mosk. This judge is either insane or stupid or maybe both.

| 37860 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | This is an activist judge who completely disregards statutes and controlling law to undermine laws she doesn't like.

| 34456 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | The worst judge since Manny Real haunted the federal court.

| 31460 | Other | No Rating | Barbara Meiers is also a blatant kleptomaniac, who is currently in the process of trying to steal over a million dollars from me. To call her self dealing is a compliment. A narcissist whose greed has no end. | 12/05/2014 10:19 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 30827 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | The most biased and truly incompetent judge I have ever appeared before in my practice.

| 30414 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Might as well just flip a coin to decide case rather then have her hear your matter | 10/28/2014 05:59 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 29715 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Without reading any papers, Judge Barbara Ann Meiers made a decision in my favor even though I was wrong on the law.

| 29452 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Should change her first name to "170.6," to be properly identified as "170.6 Meiers."

| 28881 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Worst trial judge in my 20+ years of civil experience. This judge makes no effort to conceal which side she favors at trial. File your 170.6 asap and run for your life. | 08/19/2014 05:20 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 28736 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | She slices through every Gordian knot like no one's business. Won't tolerate obstructionist tactics or bad-faith delays. No wonder all these guys hate her so much! She's an honest litigant's daydream. | 08/12/2014 03:11 PM | Contact reviewer |

| 27454 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | I agree with all the other negative reviews. She's unintelligent, lacks knowledge of basic law (she didn't know what Form Rog 17.1 is), and it is blatantly obvious that she did not actually read any of the briefings. She doesn't ...Read More | 06/13/2014 03:57 PM | Contact reviewer |

| 25085 | Litigant | No Rating | Judge Meiers does not care about justice -- she picks sides, and that is all there is to it.

| 24725 | Litigant | No Rating | This judge ruined my life. She permitted a plaintiff to attach my assets to the tune of $2.9 million, and allowed them to post a minimum $10,000 bond!

| 21979 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | She was pretty good when handling writs, but now she's back to her own calendar and not so good.

| 20639 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Not the sharpest tool in the courthouse. Often wrong on the law. She has an impressionistic view of cases and is rather unpleasant.

| 20637 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Not a competent judge--and angry and defensive about it. Rude and abrasive in trial. Bats less than .200 on objections and makes any trial into an ordeal. Shoots from the hip--and misses. | 03/19/2013 05:33 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 19891 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Worst judge ever.

| 19038 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | You can tell that she tries, but she just lacks the intellectual ability to be a good judge.
