Judge David Fields is one of those who believes women are always telling the truth no matter what evidence is in front of him. He seems to think women always tell the truth and men always lie. He’s very pro prosecution and extremely unfair at time of sentencing. He is enabling the 3rd wave feminism movement and needs to retire before he causes any more damage.

Today I went to dept 7 in family court and found out I have a new Judge. His name is Daniel Fields. I was really nervouse but he turned out to be one of the better judges. He listend and let you speak. He can read between your lines (So no BS). He wants you to get to the point and makes his ruling. I have to say be prepared and be direct and he will rule correctly.

A first rate preliminary hearing judge. His court is extremely busy and he is under the gun to move cases quickly. He is very engaged when conducting prelims. He is not afraid to call out BS on the part of the DA, defense and even police officers on the stand. If you are well prepared and have legitimate arguments you will get a very fair shake from Fields. He is NOT a rubber stamp for the DA and routinely berates the prosecution for over filing cases. One of the better prelim judges in CCB
