Criminal Defense Lawyer

Comment #: CA39965
Rating:3.6
Comments:
Fortunately, I had evidence of a previous court ruling and other relevant evidence, or, this judge would have simply rubber stamped the biased, unlawful and unfair testimony of the CHP who care not what the law is. The good news is that the Court officials and clerks were excellent.

This judge allowed false statements to be made and required no proof from California Highway Patrol Officers in a traffic hearing. He did not hold the rule of the law true in that proof must be presented to prove the guilty guilty, but rather required defendants to prove innocence. He was thorough and followed court procedural rules. Very disappointing to see the court system work this way.
