| 119112 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Judge Palazuelos is a solid jurist who is both smart and well prepared. She permits counsel to fully develop their positions and does not rush either side at hearings. Her demeanor is very pleasant, respectful, and accommodating. ...Read More | 06/21/2023 09:38 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 69650 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Do not let the academic credentials fool you. The perfect storm of ignorant and arrogant. Does not understand either the substantive or procedural law. Will make pronouncements at the mere mention that a certain motion may be ...Read More | 05/28/2019 12:30 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 63651 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | One of the few judges at LASC who actually reads and understands all the papers prior to hearings, understands the law and facts, and makes decisions in an evenhanded manner. She has always been prepared when Ive been in front of ...Read More | 01/10/2019 10:12 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 55632 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Very disappointing. She is a graduate of Stanford and Columbia Law and a former U.S. Attorney. She be very bright, but is quite lazy. She decides ex parte matters without the ability to present argument. On a motion, it is obv...Read More | 05/03/2018 11:25 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 51238 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | This judge is terrible. She has no grasp of basic, basic legal standards -- like the standard on a motion to amend 10 months away from trial (denying the motion without any cognizable legal analysis). 170.6 her immediately! | 08/23/2017 03:27 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 50206 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Very disappointing, to put it mildly. Continued hearing for a month because she hadn't bothered to read the moving and opposing papers. Month later, at hearing, asked questions which made no sense and demonstrated that she didn't ...Read More | 06/19/2017 05:15 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 44780 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Have had her for a couple civil matters. Her tentatives reflect that she reads everything you give her on motion matters and makes informed decisions, which is all I care about. I have found her to be a lot more pleasant than ot...Read More | 08/15/2016 05:49 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 42806 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | One of the worst judges in Stanley Mosk Courthouse. She never takes the bench on time and never hears any argument re: ex-parte applications. She indulged opposing counsel with several continuances for no good cause. She also too...Read More | 05/18/2016 02:18 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 41653 | Litigant | No Rating | She is not a capable judge. She sustains & over rules at whim, as she likes. She acts more like a mediator than a judge; in the courtroom, we need a judge, not a mediator! We need a stricter character in a judge, not a soft spoken...Read More | 03/26/2016 06:33 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 37400 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | This judge hates work and is hopelessly dim-witted. She does not understand simple legal concepts and refuses to read the papers. She is discourteous. After having a case for a year and after full briefing, she issued a tentative ...Read More | 09/05/2015 11:19 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 35847 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | This judge does not know civil law and is too egotistical to listen to more informed attorneys. She has a disrespectful policy of not hearing argument, on ex parte applications. How can one oppose an ex parte application, if one h...Read More | 06/29/2015 11:23 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 33132 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Judge Palazuelos simply lacks the intellectual capacity to understand civil litigation. She is to egotistical to listen to experienced attorneys and makes unjust rulings. Her habit of not hearing oral argument for ex parte applica...Read More | 02/24/2015 02:41 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 32359 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | This is one of the best judges I have had handling complex class actions. She takes the time to read the papers and makes parties respond to discovery as they should. Great judge. | 01/13/2015 03:14 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 31352 | Litigant | No Rating | She has allowed a pro se litigant AND another Vexatious litigant (who loves playing lawyer, who is not one and obviously one whom has was already sanctioned) to use her courtroom as a kangeroo court to sue anyone these two jerks d...Read More | 12/02/2014 07:12 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 26957 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | I felt that she showed favoritism from the beginning to the end. It was like litigating against opposing counsel and the court in tandem. Hearings were like a poker game where she would not show her hand until after the hearing....Read More | 05/13/2014 09:24 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 26655 | Court Staff | No Rating | Treats court reporters horribly. If you speak up in her courtroom, she'll yell at you that you're not doing your job. If she was doing her job, court reporters wouldn't have to speak up. | 04/26/2014 02:54 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 26515 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | She is aggressively stupid. She reads little, understands little and never changes her mind, no matter how strong the proof. She jumps to conclusions and cannot understand why she is wrong, even when amply demostated, even on th...Read More | 04/16/2014 06:05 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 25117 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | She is possibly the dumbest judge that I have ever been before. She has no ability to even grasp issues, let alone provide any analysis of them. | 02/04/2014 06:08 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 24548 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Judge Palazuelos allows her ego to rule the courtroom. She has the disrespectful practice of not hearing oral argument on ex parte matters, and she rules without considering all of the submitted papers. | 12/10/2013 11:53 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 22893 | Other | No Rating | The Jacksons have not been having a fair trial. She is so one-sided and seems to favor the AEG defendants since day one. I am very disappointed with this judge and her unfair treatment of the Jacksons. | 08/17/2013 04:14 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 22886 | Other | No Rating | Judge Palazuelos displays clear and blatant bias in her court. She does not hear any wrong from one side, yet gangs up with that side and finds fault where there is none, then attacks and disrespects the opposing side. A complete ...Read More | 08/16/2013 11:08 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 22882 | Other | View Details | Extremely biased, although smart enough to know what's going on. Does not control the courtroom. Does not control witnesses when she likes them. Untrustworthy. | 08/16/2013 09:04 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 22817 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | In my personal opinion, Judge Yvette Palazuelos makes decisions that are very one-sided, biased, unfair, and inequitable. She should always remain fair, impartial, and neutral, but I have never seen this from her. Her actions, I f...Read More | 08/13/2013 09:15 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 22768 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | Judge Palazuelos is not equitable -- what is forbidden to one part is allowed to the other one. She demonstrates biased behavior. | 08/13/2013 03:00 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 22191 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | She is stubborn and she is not too smart; certainly not as smart as she thinks she is. When you point out instances where she is wrong, she ignores you, instead of trying to make things work. She especially does not understand her...Read More | 06/29/2013 01:10 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 22112 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | I can tell that she's read my papers before making a decision, and that she remembers what took place at the last conferences. A great judge. | 06/21/2013 03:15 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 21937 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Judge Palazuelos is smart and patient, so already she's in the top five per cent of L.A. judges. The biggest problem I have with her is scheduling motions. Her obnoxious clerk will only give you a date almost a year out (usually a...Read More | 06/06/2013 03:32 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 10898 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Although I like appearing before her when I need a continuance, she's constantly late and sometimes looks disheveled, as though she just woke up. In addition, she's a monster at handing out sanctions. | 06/05/2011 12:33 AM | Contact reviewer |
