Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: CA52213
Rating:9.7
Comments:
Judge Keosian is thoughtful, thorough, and has a very even temperament. He is very patient with litigants, and puts in the time to prepare for all of his hearings -- even ex parte hearings. He is a very strong judge and a good draw so long as you are prepared and well researched. If you are not, he will be able to tell.

Civil Litigation - Govt.

Comment #: CA40263
Rating:10.0
Comments:
I had a trial before Judge Keosian near the end of 2021 and would love to litigate before him again. He is a well tempered and respectful individual who puts in a substantial amount of time in his cases. His rulings were well thought out and comprehensive, and both opposing counsel and I left his courtroom impressed.

He doesn't care about the rule of law or facts, when he makes up his mind, no matter what you do, he will never change. My attorney told me, 'I think he doesn't want to be a judge any more!" I have to agree. He should retire.

Civil Litigation - Govt.

Comment #: CA18982
Rating:9.4
Comments:
He is a former appellate judge for the limited jurisdiction and probably that is why he follows the law and weighs equities only when the law can be interpreted either way. Very good temperament and doesn’t disrespect attorneys like some of his peers tend to do.

Comments:
Extraordinarily fair judge. Follows the law always yet is empathetic when dealing with the public. He is patient with the public almost to a fault and never allows anyone to feel that a ruling is not well reasoned. Take pains to research and will not make knee jerk rulings.
He should be elevated to the Appellate Court or the Supremes.

Just about the most perfect judicial temperament you could ask for. If every other judge had his ability, humility, knowledge, sincerity, even handedness and lack of bias, the courts would be a much better place.

90% of the judges at Stanley Mosk are lazy and cruel. This guy isn't any different than the rest of the bums. Now that you are lawyers, having fun. Too bad you can't change your professions because I am certain you all would. Too many lawyers in Calif. and it's pretty ruff out there making a buck.

He is uninterested and lazy, and has no accountability. Let the guy go and fund the ADR program with his salary!

He made an error and sided with defense, even when it was pointed out to him that this was not right. Someone needs to fix this. I'll have to appeal.
