Incompetent judge. Does NOT KNOW PROBATE LAW. Does not listen to argument. Refuses to listen to reason. This man is DEFINITELY ON THE TAKE.

JUDGE GEVERCER is totally biased because of his close connections to several Sacramento attorneys and connections from the Attorney Generals Office. His own estate planning attorney firm and their colleagues get away with fraud. Why is he on the bench?

This judge must be on the take - he never questions his close attorney connections, does not uphold the law and his rulings are devastating. He should be immediately removed from the bench.

Overall i dont even belive he has looked at our case anyone who would allw for such incompetence by the attorneys either has not read the case or possiably is to closely involved to be fair.im not saying he is bad or good im saying that from how our case has went that it was decided long befor we ever got the chance to see him. It is sad that the people we trust to do what is right fail us.

Judge Gevercer is overwhelmingly bias toward certain attorneys and their professional conservator/fiduciary clients, as another reviewer has previously noted. He does not adhere to CA probate code, and in several "hearings", he hasn't even "heard" argument. He should be removed from the bench.

I dont agree with his ruling or how he wnot even allow us to keep our family home and how he allowd for my family to have their lives destroyed so that a estranged relitive in a different state can collect a payment and suffer no loss while my family ill s yield ffer much loss and irreversible damage for the rest of our lives. He said that he has to follow the law all he has done is to destroy the lives of 3 people who aredisabled and dependent on ssi and need medical services.what kind of justice is that it isnt justice it is like a home invasion robbery absoultly no justice or investigation into our case and the court just destroyed our lives just some selfish out of state person we dont know can have a payday you tell me how anyone could say that is fair or just becuse it isnt.

Judge Gevercer seems to be a fair judge- he may be bias though towards his Lincoln Law School professor-colleague David Richardson of Law Offices of Tosh Yamamoto. In other words, he may be influenced by the frequent flyer attorneys in Sacramento probate court.
