133161	Criminal Defense Lawyer	No Rating	She sustained the demurrer 5 times, and even on the day of the trial, she allowed the other attorney to amend. She cannot make up her mind. Was she even thinking about the opposing counsel who would have to appear in court 5 times...Read More	05/24/2025 12:05 AM	Contact reviewer
118007	Litigant	No Rating	Allows lying by favorites. Like most central court judges, probably like all Judicial officers, one percent are honest neutral and detached. Logged on to zoom waited, disconnected twice, then clerk told me she called and dismissed...Read More	05/12/2023 10:14 AM	Contact reviewer
66784	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	The only good thing to say about this judge is that she is equally bad for the defense and plaintiff sides. This judge makes decisions in law and motion without having the slightest clue regarding the legal effect of her rulings....Read More	03/15/2019 12:22 PM	Contact reviewer
56492	Litigant	No Rating	This judge was completely unfair. She openly expressed her dislike for my lawyer and my witnesses. She picked on every little thing about my side and let the other side say and do whatever she wanted to do. She made it obvious ...Read More	05/31/2018 12:39 PM	Contact reviewer
51842	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	Haughty, priggish, arrogant. Does not care about the law or the appearance of neutrality. Will pick a side based on her personal agenda and make certain she steers the jury to her conclusion. Should be limited to small claims c...Read More	09/24/2017 11:02 AM	Contact reviewer
46937	Other	No Rating	As a juror I was impressed with the professionalism, knowledge and demeanor of this judge. It gives me great optimism knowing she is working in our judicial system. She was respectful and fair to all parties involved.	12/28/2016 08:08 PM	Contact reviewer
46068	Court Staff	No Rating	This judge is excoriatingly verbally abusive to staff while the public is in the courtroom. Staff is demeaned and demoralized as are attorneys. The courtroom proceedings often become chaotic as the judge allows multiple parties ...Read More	10/27/2016 08:45 PM	Contact reviewer
45052	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	This judge is a great trial judge. She knows the evidence. She works very hard to rule fairly on objections during trial. She knows her case well. She clearly reads the briefs filed. I don't understand where any of these negative ...Read More	08/29/2016 04:37 PM	Contact reviewer

40961	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	This judge must be in competition for worst superior court judge. The anger and condescension aimed at the attorneys is second to none. What makes matters worse is she will not take the time to learn. Further, her knowledge of ...Read More	02/18/2016 08:14 PM	Contact reviewer
26803	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	Nasty temperament and slow on the uptake. Conceited, wants counsel to be extremely deferential to her at all times. A complete boor. Has ugly nasty clerk and courtroom assistant as well.	05/06/2014 01:00 PM	Contact reviewer
26202	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	I have had many cases with Judge Marks. She can be brutal to attorneys if you do anything, however slight, to get on her bad side. She has a clerk who does all of the reading and research on law and motion matters. He sits pro te...Read More	03/27/2014 09:40 PM	Contact reviewer
12617	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	I generally like Orange County Central Justice Center but this judge is an exception. She and her clerk are ignorant nasty time wasters. You can find yourself going around and around and around with them; nothing gets done but y...Read More	12/21/2011 06:35 PM	Contact reviewer
