| 119690 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | Ignores facts completely, likely because he doesn't understand/ listen to them anyway. Absolutely worthless person and horrendous adjudicator. | 07/27/2023 04:54 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 119689 | Other | No Rating | This judge is horrendous. He has no concept of economics or any common sense whatsoever. Frankly, I think he's just stupid. He's obviously a political hack appointed by a failed governor. He is absolutely worthless. | 07/27/2023 04:52 PM | Contact reviewer |

| 67809 | Other | No Rating | This judge engaged in communication with Allstate Insurance's female defense attorney behind my back. My issue is that after he approved a settlement by stipulation and I watched his Clerk enter it into the court's computer, he fl...Read More | 04/11/2019 04:11 PM | Contact reviewer |

| 58969 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Horrible. . . . . Not sure if it is laziness, lack of diligence, inabilty to manage his calendar, or slovenliness. . . His clerk did the write-up on the case; poorly reasoned; result oriented; desirous of just "kicking" the case. ...Read More | 08/22/2018 03:15 PM | Contact reviewer |

| 56082 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | This is the worst judge I've ever been before in over 30 years of practice. He hates women attorneys (I am one) and is mean to in pro per litigants. He insists on scheduling things in a very short period of time, causing great tim...Read More | 05/17/2018 10:28 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 55435 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | An embarrassment to the judicial system. Writes tentatives that ignore simple facts and clear legal issues without explanation. Will listen to oral argument with a blank expression, then will affirm his tentative without comment o...Read More | 04/26/2018 12:56 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 54061 | Civil Litigation - Private | No Rating | If you want any chance in this courtroom, bring a court reporter with you. It's a night and day difference between his treatment on the record and his treatment off the record. | 02/08/2018 02:37 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 51312 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Horrid judge. Former prosecutor who only likes criminal law; knows nothing about civil law, and doesn't care that he knows nothing about civil law. Takes a side early, and only rules in that side's favor, regardless of legal merit...Read More | 08/27/2017 09:12 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 46904 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | One of the worst. He seems to have little knowledge of the Civil -side of the law and apparently has no interest learning it. His decisions appear arbitrary. He seems to pick a side that he likes and completely disregards any l...Read More | 12/26/2016 09:10 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 41942 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | I have been practicing law for over 40 years. He is one of the worst judges I have ever seen. He thinks he is smart, but he isn't. He simply doesn't understand the law or even care about making the correct decision. | 04/09/2016 08:26 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 37505 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | I've had the displeasure of confronting many bad judges in my career. Judge Sotelo is one of the worst and does not belong on the bench. If you're looking for a judge who respects, understands, and upholds the law without allowing...Read More | 09/12/2015 04:08 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 37043 | Prosecutor | View Details | Bright, fair-minded, and courteous. Possesses the proper judicial temperament, and is very conscientious. | 08/21/2015 12:43 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 37015 | Litigant | No Rating | Refuses to give basis for his decisions, especially to Pro Pers. Is quite rude to Pro Pers as well. Get him off the bench. Do not vote for him. | 08/19/2015 10:18 PM | Contact reviewer |
