I agree law and case law are not her strong suit. She is fact-centered. If you follow her rules, she will be more than decent. I have gotten her to release OR or to Open Plea to diversion, but you must build a reporte and state fa...Read More08/16/2022 09:54 PMContact reviewer

She is the worst Judge in Southern California; not just Los Angeles. I have been a lawyer for 25 years and this is not an even minded person. File a 170.6 immediately. It is our collective fault to allow this type of person on t...Read More05/19/2022 11:18 PMContact reviewer

America is blemished by having Judge Villar on the bench. She is the worst judge that I have ever appeared in front of. Comments from others regarding her inability to be impartial, and her mean-spirited personality are right on...Read More09/26/2018 11:17 AMContact reviewer

I have no idea how she is still on the bench. She is not only pro prosecution, but she is rude, belittling, arrogant and possesses the worst temperament I have ever seen in a judge. If you have complex legal issues to litigate in ...Read More09/17/2018 04:33 PMContact reviewer

100% Biased On The Prosecutor's side from the very start. Do not let your case be heard in this Highly Biased Judges Courtroom. She should not be allowed to remain on the bench.06/20/2018 04:09 PMContact reviewer

In my 35 years of criminal defense it was my WORST courtroom experience. No need to know the law in her court - she will give the prosecution whatever they want no matter how outlandish and contrary to the law. Totally unqualified...Read More10/25/2017 02:16 PMContact reviewer

I have appeared before this judge, and after twenty years of practice, I was extremely unimpressed. She is condescending, closes the courtroom so that the public does not see what she is doing, and threatens witnesses. She does no...Read More11/22/2013 04:40 AMContact reviewer

Terrible judge. In the pocket of the prosecution. She either doesn't know the law or is openly flouting it. Shameful.08/23/2010 01:22 PMContact reviewer

Judge Villar is so awful, you feel you must apologize to your client for being randomly assigned to her courtroom. And, that's arraignment court! Should there be an occassion we have a pre-trial matter before her -- its a pre-empt...Read More06/17/2009 05:50 PMContact reviewer
