Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: CA52290
Rating:1.0
Comments:
I've appeared in front of this judge twice in the past several months. I've never been the subject of his outrageous conduct, but it's painful to watch/hear him take satisfaction in embarrassing attorneys with questions and that are ridiculous or unanswerable. Be warned.

Civil Litigation - Private

Rating:2.8
Comments:
Judge Feng is arrogant and insulting. I observed more than one ex parte proceeding. He shouted at pro se litigant and opposing counsel for no reason. It seems clear he does not even look at the papers. After giving a party a couple sentences to make their case, he thinks he knows everything. He refused to even hear one motion because of an error by the clerks office in failing to timely file papers.

Observed Judge Feng rule on a very complex construction defect action involving over 75 parties, a large contractor and School District. He made very hard ruling but followed the law and gave all counsel the opportunity to be heard. While this ruling was issued a little bit ago. I just learned about this website. I must say he has the right skils and temperment for this position. Very good Judge, fare and listened to all counsel

Comments:
Judge Feng generalizes case facts wihtout understanding context. He seems to feel that some laws are enforceable, while other laws are not. He has no empathy, feeling his own life serves as a template of virtue without knowing or attempting to know that hardship is not equally meted.

No experience with him at trial or hearing, but as a managing judge he allows the clerk's office to get away with destroying people's rights. Zero oversight of the court providing fair services to all. On that account, he rates extremely low. SF Superior Court in general has a huge corruption problem.
