101847	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	Judge Stewart appears to be a very nice man. Unfortunately, he is well past his prime. He no longer has any ability to handle legal issues. He issues tentative rulings that he then reverses. He issues rulings that he then reve...Read More	12/29/2021 02:05 PM	Contact reviewer
47945	Litigant	No Rating	Judge Stewart instructed his clerk, Mr. Hernandez, to contact non-standing parties ex-parte to object to his own decision in a prove up hearing. Four months later he refuses to sign his own judgement in favor of the plaintiff that...Read More	02/25/2017 02:58 AM	Contact reviewer
45172	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	Having won and lost in his courtroom I have mixed feelings but I want to like this judge. He has a TV personality and treats his courtroom like a comedy skit which I guess is a good thing to take away the stress of legal disputes....Read More	09/05/2016 03:13 AM	Contact reviewer
43630	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	It is time for Judge Stewart to go. He does nothing to hide his partiality towards one side over another. He has no problem wasting time or giving counsel he likes a ridiculous number of opportunities at the time and expense of ...Read More	06/10/2016 12:46 PM	Contact reviewer
39314	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	My favorite judge in the county. I've appeared before Judge Stewart more than a hundred times for CMC, motions and jury trial. He is erudite, sufficiently patient, polite, evenhanded and respectful to litigants and counsel. The ju...Read More	12/04/2015 05:33 PM	Contact reviewer
38942	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	Judge Stewart is a trial lawyer's trial judge. He loves being on the bench even after all of these years, telling war stories and cracking the occasional joke to break the tension. He loves being in trial. While he is efficient...Read More	11/17/2015 10:36 AM	Contact reviewer
37389	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	Had my first appearance in front of him today. He was extremely patient and kind. Rare in a judge. His temperament, alone, makes him a good judge. I sat in his court room for almost two hours, watching him on all of the other c...Read More	09/04/2015 04:49 PM	Contact reviewer
37026	Litigant	No Rating	He's lazy. He never read our complaint, or heard our side of the story. He so much on the bank's side that the opposing attorneys can literally phone it in, and barely needs to speak because Judge Stewart argues their case for t...Read More	08/20/2015 10:19 AM	Contact reviewer
37024	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	He is lazy. He is against minorities. His tentative rulings are done by his clerk Hernandez who is not an attorney. Hernandez issues orders and calls the attorneys he likes and tells them to give a notice. He decides when the cour...Read More	08/20/2015 10:10 AM	Contact reviewer
31307	Other	No Rating	Very poor. Fell asleep during the case, didn't listen, took opposing counsel in his chambers to "chat" since it was his friend. Very racist against non whites and people from minority communities. Needs to retire.	11/28/2014 10:49 AM	Contact reviewer
25306	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	You've got to be kidding me! This judge granted not one, but three separate ex parte apps for terminating sanctions. He will never engage in argument, because he doesn't know the case or what's written by his clerks in tentatives....Read More	02/21/2014 12:36 AM	Contact reviewer
20574	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	Very nice gentleman, professional, even tempered, and tries to move the case along during trial.	03/14/2013 07:13 PM	Contact reviewer
