You know I would love to give this Judge a better rating but the fact is after he reversed his several erroneous determinations upon my motion, apologizing about errors he then proceeded to make more errors and when attempting to again have him correct matters he suddenly is now overseeing juvenile cases in Stockton and some newbie comes in and proceeded to issue several illegal orders. There is a game being played in this county court system whereby they feel ok with working entirely outside the statutes, policies and procedures, rules, and what is morally and justly correct.

Judge Agbayani is hands down one of the most fair judges in this county. He is extremely considerate and rules fairly. He does not take sides and instead listens to all the evidence prior to making a ruling. I have seen him work in both criminal and civil cases and this is true for both types of cases

Biased against domestic abuse survivors. Allowed abuser to perjure himself, refused to hear proof.

Mocked all abuse that wasn't physical. Refused to hear case involving credible death threats.

Likely racist, definitely sexist. Should not be a judge in domestic matters.

February 2012,I started to file contempt of court against my gf. She would not allow me to exercise my visitation. April was the first hearing on the contempt's. Her attorney was pro bono, appeared with her on this family/criminal matter. She demurred. May 2012, they lost their demur and trial was set for June. when it was all said and done with Judge Agbayani found my ex 171 day in contempt. She was sentenced to do 240 hours of community service. During this whole trial Judge Appel decided to sign new orders allowing her to move to Ohio. As of today she still not started her community service and Judge Agbayani allowed her to do it in Ohio. I have papered McCann who is only a commissioner and not a judge. When Judge Appel sees me walk into her courtroom, she goes into a frizzy.

This judge and his bailiff appear to be sexists and racists so you don't want this judge if you are a female attorney. He is not a hard worker or capable of reading the files. He is not aware of the law, nor does he seem to care that he is ignorant of the relevant law. There's no justice in his courtroom and his bailiff is ever menacing.
