She has not got a clue about what she is doing. If a case is assigned to her, both sides should just flip a coin.

Worst experience I've ever had with a Judge and we WON the case. Highly unprofessional Jurist.

Criminal Defense Lawyer

Comment #: CA1872

Very limited knowledge of the rules of evidence.

Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: CA1389
Rating:4.0
Comments:
She used to be in Compton. She'd recuse herself from all cases involving Los Angeles because she tripped in the courthouse elevator and was suing. Now she hears small claims appeals and limited cases at Stanley Mosk. Very eccentric personality, not good at judging, makes excuses not to hear matters or continue matters. A major time waster.

Probably one of the worst judges I've ever had the displeasure to try a case in front of. Extremely conservative on all ruling, bends the rules of admissability to suit her whim and absolutely no ability to control O/C. I will 170.6 her every time.
