The worst, laziest, most clueless, biased judge in Los Angeles County, with the lone exception of Maryann Murphy. Guts plaintiffs' cases at every turn. No objection or argument is too stupid or frivolous for him to sustain if it h...Read More06/04/2023 05:51 PMContact reviewer
113614LitigantNo RatingStarts out minute one trying to get rid of a plaintiff's case, the quicker the better so he can go back to doing nothing. Is nice to defense attorneys bc he thinks they might appeal, and to juries bc they are voters. If you're nei...Read More12/12/2022 03:08 PMContact reviewer

Arrogant, rude, hard-headed, and obtuse. He’s not a difficult judge that strictly and harshly follows the law, instead he doesn’t understand the law, ignores it, and/or refuses to educate himself on the law. Blatant disregard for ...Read More05/11/2019 10:13 AMContact reviewer

A definite 170.6 for plaintiff (or any party who needs a judge who thinks about the law and the evidence instead of himself before ruling). He is filled with unfounded arrogance and self regard, and views the courtroom as a stage...Read More04/14/2016 08:05 PMContact reviewer

Judge is terrible. Automatic 170.6 for plaintiffs. Simply ignores the law and does what he wants. With no court reporters, he is very dangerous.10/09/2014 04:18 PMContact reviewer

Refused to take five minutes of testimony on an ex parte matter that would have resolved a jurisdictional issue. Either did not understand the law or was too lazy to read 12 pages of pleadings (which included the App for a TRO, P...Read More01/29/2013 12:16 PMContact reviewer

He is extremely biased, doesn't believe he is required to follow the law and is arrogant. He is an automatic 170.6, as far as I am concerned.08/17/2012 10:54 PMContact reviewer

Generally speaking I'd rather be assigned to his courtroom than any other courtroom in the Southwest District. He has run a general jurisdiction courtroom for many years now and knows what he's doing. He's polite and respectful ...Read More04/25/2012 06:05 PMContact reviewer

He requires that you serve your ex parte papers on the opposing party no later than 10:00 a.m. the day prior. Last I checked you only had to give notice by that deadline but this judge requires that you serve your papers by that ...Read More04/24/2012 01:40 PMContact reviewer

Very lazy and will just ignore the law if he's too busy to deal with your motion. Disrespectful, arrogant and unpredictable. Everything you don't want it a judge.04/13/2012 11:42 PMContact reviewer

A little man in every sense, he easily carries his stature into the court room. Inappropriate remarks from him as if he is doing stand up comedy for his clerk and reporter. They weren't laughing nor were the plaintiff and defenda...Read More04/05/2012 01:48 PMContact reviewer

Not the smartest judge out there but he does try and does read paperwork. He tries to be fair and is polite and courteous. He has very limited trial hours which can make trials take a long time. He will not allow an argumentati...Read More03/07/2012 06:08 PMContact reviewer
