| 127105 | Litigant | No Rating | [Redacted by Ed.] He needs to step down before be endangers more members of the public and consumers with his horrendous corporate driven decisions in favor of big business instead of Public Safety and Consumer Protection. He blat...Read More | 06/03/2024 11:09 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 108774 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | One of two things is true. Either this judge is biased, or the rigors of the job have become too much for him to handle. He makes up law, and when you bring it to his attention he sits there quietly and smiles at you. He ignore...Read More | 07/19/2022 07:37 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 105682 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | His law clerk writes the tentatives. He sits there looking bored while the parties make oral argument then reads off the tentative ruling. Can barely even hear him on the record and he sounds sleepy/intoxicated. Time for this g...Read More | 06/17/2022 11:27 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 103414 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Great judge. | 03/13/2022 12:14 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 100102 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | I agree with the comments that he is a nice guy, but I'd rather have a capable judge. He doesn't read the briefs, he normally is not prepared. His rulings are vague. He is forgetful. He doesn't listen well. He is extremely de...Read More | 10/26/2021 11:34 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 54942 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | He may be one of the best judges I've been before. I don't think there's a nicer one at Stanley Mosk. I think his judicial style is to sit-back and let the lawyers have it out (to a point). For both sides, that's more than fair. H...Read More | 03/30/2018 10:50 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 54682 | Other | No Rating | Use all the legal jargon and tactics you want but I believe this judge instinctively listens to all and will decide and award based on the merits of honesty and integrity. | 03/13/2018 11:33 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 48293 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Lazy. Doesn't read pleadings. Doesn't follow law. Not too bright. | 03/17/2017 02:39 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 47584 | Civil Litigation - Private | No Rating | This guy has lots of problems and is not fit to serve as a Judge. The biggest problem is he is lazy and does not follow the law. Complicated motions are a big problem as he will not read them and counts heavily on his law clerk ...Read More | 02/05/2017 11:02 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 44111 | Other | No Rating | I was appalled after what Ive seen at the Compton Courtroom. To much talking bout what a nice guy he is...but Not about how he is as a judge...and to buddy buddy w/the attorneys. | 07/07/2016 03:42 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 42837 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Very experienced. | 05/20/2016 11:18 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 16917 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | Judge Recana's strength is his judicial temperament. There isn't a nicer judge out there. However, his knowledge of the law, particularly the Evidence Code, is seriously lacking. At trial, he tends to let everything in and rarel...Read More | 08/17/2012 11:04 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 7115 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | He wrote and published a book, "HOW TO TRY YOUR CASE IN COURT AND WIN", but he hates self-represented litigants. DOES NOT PRACTICE WHAT HE PREACHES! | 05/15/2010 12:14 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 6697 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | He is basically a nice guy. However, I agree that he disregards civil procedure and case precedent. He does not seem to be afraid of being reversed on appeal. Keep that in mind. I would say that he is pro-plaintiff in civil li...Read More | 02/17/2010 06:26 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 6614 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Great judge and a great guy all around. | 01/25/2010 01:49 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 6357 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Never prepared, hearings drag on forever and it will take months to get a ruling if ever. disregards all civil procedure and case precedent. Extremely plaintiff oriented. | 11/12/2009 07:22 PM | Contact reviewer |
