133740	Litigant	View Details	Absolutely deplorable, bias [her commingling with attorneys smells of corruption], forgetful or lazy [the notes are right there!], walks into the courtroom as if she is not an employee of the people.	08/03/2025 12:44 AM	Contact reviewer

123670	Criminal Defense Lawyer	No Rating	Punte-Porras is a real one. Being a judge is hard especially in family court where there is no jury. She is the best judge in Whittier courthouse. I love her. On the other hand, Her colleague judge Veronica Sauceda should be remov...Read More	11/10/2023 11:56 AM	Contact reviewer
119290	Other	No Rating	She should not be in family court, awful and [redacted]. Doesn't know the meaning of unbiased on ruling or conduct in court. Something has to be done, she ruining my children lives and well as their parents. She doesn't have a cl...Read More	07/06/2023 12:20 PM	Contact reviewer
119289	Other	No Rating	She was totally biased, abuse of power, used her power to literally work for defense counsel. Defense counsel did not have to sit there, the judge did his work for him. I think the judge, defense counsel and defendant (a sheriff) ...Read More	07/06/2023 12:08 PM	Contact reviewer
118896	Litigant	No Rating	I had video and witness evidence. The other party had no evidence since there was no wrong-doing on my part.

117029	Other	No Rating	Puente-Porras, the term judge is used loosely. She does not read all presented evidence. She gives no explanation for her ruling only to say, "I feel.." Her ruling is not based on presented facts which she refuses to read/hear fro...Read More	03/28/2023 08:42 AM	Contact reviewer
116807	Other	No Rating	Maria Puente-Porras does not hear/read evidence (text messages/photos/witnesses) of both parties. She relies on her own biased opinions. Please be aware of this judge who should be investigated for her unethical standards.	03/17/2023 12:41 AM	Contact reviewer
109670	Other	No Rating	Maria puente porras holds unethical standards to the court, especially in family court. She doesn’t follow the court procedures but rather her own hormonal opinion. She doesn’t hear your side, she throws out your paperwork and say...Read More	08/20/2022 01:14 PM	Contact reviewer
