Comment #: CA3586
Rating:1.7

Comments:
As unpleasant a judge as I have encountered in 30 years. She turned a fairly straight-forward PI case into a nightmare with the whackiest ruling I've ever gotten from a judge - a ruling that was reversed on a writ petition. She apparently has no concept of what constitutes evidence. Perhaps the only good thing about the re-organization of the courts is that she will not be my trial court judge.

Arrogant, unqualified, dismissive of counsel and litigants, especially Plaintiffs, clearly in over her head and hides it with a show of haughty disdain. She makes tentative rulings and never wavers from them, no matter how wrong; it is a waste of time to use oral argument to move her from the tentative; just use oral argument to make your record for appeal. She will often take weeks, if not months, to issue a final ruling on a law and motion matter, yet it is invariably the same as the tentative ruling, verbatim.
Based on my personal experience, and according to everyone I know, she is biased in favor of defendants, especially insurance companies. For Judge See, the law exists to protect the interests of the rich and powerful, and everyone else is a waste of her time.
