Judge White was an exception with a personal affinity for Bobby Kennedy. He is personable, has never indicated a bias against defense t...Read More	06/17/2019 10:27 PM	Contact reviewer

34575	Criminal Defense Lawyer	View Details	Very good trial judge. Yeah he is prosecution oriented but after all he was the elected Sacramento County DA from 1988 to 1994. But he wil let you try your case and will occasionally rule in favor of the defense. While he is stric...Read More	05/03/2015 08:08 PM	Contact reviewer
31189	Criminal Defense Lawyer	View Details	I have tried a number of complex and serious cases in front of Judge White. I found him to be extraordinarily polite to both counsel and my clients.

27442	Criminal Defense Lawyer	View Details	Very bad judge; smiling assassin who does not know the law but fools people by his apparent even-handed demeanor. Any doubts? Google "Jan Scully Steve White"	06/12/2014 08:31 PM	Contact reviewer
24665	Criminal Defense Lawyer	View Details	He is an excellent judge. Despite his D.A. background, I found him to be even-handed and fair to both sides during his tenure in juvenile court. He is a very interesting guy as well. I highly recommended this judge.	12/19/2013 01:41 PM	Contact reviewer
24184	Criminal Defense Lawyer	View Details	This judge is far more biased than he thinks he is, but not nearly as bright.	11/12/2013 03:21 PM	Contact reviewer

23108	Criminal Defense Lawyer	View Details	I cannot fathom the other critiques - this man is an arrogant, extraordinarily biased judge. No defendant or defense attorney will be treated fairly in front of him. He is malicious. Beware	08/30/2013 04:01 PM	Contact reviewer
21023	Criminal Defense Lawyer	View Details	Great judge to do trial work in front of. He is all business in and out of chambers, has a good sense of humor and treats each side with respect. Even though he was the head DA and lost re-election in a bruising contest to Jan S...Read More	04/13/2013 02:01 PM	Contact reviewer

2288	Criminal Defense Lawyer	No Rating	Very smart, very good trial judge and very pleasant to all concerned. He knows the law well and will rule correctly on legal issues and let you try your case. In general, he will not help you to settle a case and will be somewha...Read More	07/13/2008 01:26 PM	Contact reviewer
