Judge Meyer should have retired long ago. He lost our brief and then told us he never received it although it was submitted to him 3 times. He sided with one side early on and never listened to any counter argument. He did not u...Read More01/27/2025 10:29 PMContact reviewer

I am in disbelief that such an individual is allowed to be a judge. After some research it appears the reason this "judge" has his position on the bench is because he ran unopposed without competition (see ballotpedia.org) and t...Read More10/04/2023 04:52 PMContact reviewer

Appearing in front of him shook my faith in our judicial system. I saw him act abusively towards attorneys that appeared before my case was called. During my case, he was closed-minded and demeaning. It was my worst experience eve...Read More09/29/2023 10:59 PMContact reviewer

This Judge should not be on the bench. He does not serve the best interest of the people of San Diego well. He is rude, obnoxious, doesn't understand the law and takes pleasure in belittling people in his courtroom. He does not re...Read More12/10/2022 09:53 PMContact reviewer

Let's face it, most cases are simple and 95% of the time one party is off the reservation on the law. Judge has an intuitive sense of this reality and spends the energy where and when it is necessary. I like a judge with some Patt...Read More01/07/2022 03:25 PMContact reviewer

Congruent with other comments on this page, Meyer is sexist, disrespectful and unfairly prejudicial to younger, female attorneys. In trial, he consistently addressed one attorney (an older male) as Mr. Doe, but never addressed the...Read More10/30/2019 12:34 PMContact reviewer

Judge Meyer can be belittling at times, however, if you have thick skin and can tolerate an occasional insult, he is fair and will take the time to review all papers. Tried a complex case brought by a government entity before him ...Read More05/30/2019 12:48 PMContact reviewer

My worst experience in 40 years of practicing law was trying a Lemon Law case in front of him. He didn't understand the case and consistently, and incorrectly, ruled in favor of the manufacturer. He was rude, angry and short-tem...Read More06/12/2018 03:49 PMContact reviewer

I agree with the other posters. He is one-sided, biased, intemperate and a bully. He is a misogynist. Best challenge him if you are so unfortunate to draw him. He reminds me a bit of a judge who had to leave the bench some years ...Read More03/29/2017 11:15 PMContact reviewer

The descriptions of Judge Meyer are spot on. He can be a real bully and unreasonably opinionated but fortunately I haven't been the subject of his wrath. He seems to favor general liability defense. I have been on both plaintif...Read More02/14/2017 04:01 PMContact reviewer

Judge Meyer often speaks too much from the hip and doesn't focus on the details or the letter of the law. If he hates your case from the beginning, it is difficult to flip him. At times, he can be disrespectful.06/17/2015 11:33 PMContact reviewer

Judge Meyer makes up his mind in the first few minutes of a case. To his credit, he still has somewhat of an open mind, but the burden is on you to show that he was wrong -- even if the law puts the burden on the other side. He is...Read More01/14/2014 07:46 PMContact reviewer
