| 133940 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Ive only had Judge Coats in civil cases - He's very fair and wants to keep his cases moving along; come prepared, don't waste the court's time, try and meet and confer in advance. | 09/08/2025 07:45 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 130257 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | He reads everything, gets it, takes the bench on time, and cuts to the chase. He is not there to be your friend. He is there to do his job. Attorneys who try to wing it or try to mislead him, even in the slightest, will not like...Read More | 01/04/2025 02:52 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 130138 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Goodness, this judge needs to start handling more of his work and stop assigning it out to" staff". One of his clerks even takes over his work and keeps it all secret from him. Very embarrassing. This wrongdoing demonstrates a ...Read More | 12/26/2024 02:03 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 128461 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | This judge is so biased and prejudiced, this litigant went ahead and settled the case at great loss. Ironically, the opposing party admitted they had been lying all along, but only after the case had settled. Why this judge is on...Read More | 08/31/2024 04:19 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 127582 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | I write this as both a criminal defense attorney and a practicing civil attorney who has handled everything from homicide and serious felony cases to civil appeals that are published. The appointment of Ben Coats to the bench was...Read More | 07/01/2024 02:51 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 124185 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | I had a tough civil jury trial before Judge Coats. He handled pretrial matters with detailed tentative rulings, presided over the trial with fairness to both sides and good temperament and rendered highly detailed rulings on pos...Read More | 12/20/2023 05:54 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 119410 | Litigant | No Rating | The recent posted comments are very true, and I would CCP Section 170.6 exclude him from any future litigation. He lacks all of the important attributes of any good judge. He has no respect for civil rights. He is unwilling and...Read More | 07/13/2023 01:11 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 119400 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Shocking, really. Hard to imagine that yet another entitled male judge could be so hateful, pompous and dictatorial. He does not care what the law is. Justice means nothing to him. He's intent on sticking it to the party he ha...Read More | 07/12/2023 10:21 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 119091 | Civil Litigation - Private | No Rating | Absolutely AWFUL judge ! Definitely needs to be voted out. Ignorant and arrogant. 170.6 him immediately and VOTE HIM OFF THE BENCH ! | 06/20/2023 11:21 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 117493 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Vain, pompous, mean-spirited official lacking any sense of fairness or decency. Very harmful. Unfair. Extremely Biased. | 04/19/2023 09:01 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 110894 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Coats reads your briefs. Decorum and KISS goes a long way in his courtroom. Do not interrupt him or show emotion when opposing counsel or witnesses are speaking. Not the easiest judge to appear in front of, but I'll take a sl...Read More | 10/12/2022 07:40 PM | Contact reviewer |
