Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: CA49146
Rating:3.9

Comments:
If you are a plaintiff faced with a dispositive motion (demurrer, motion for summary judgment) this is the time to exercise your ccp 170.6; this judge was a civil defense lawyer his entire career and has not yet drained the bias. He is exclusively disposed to help insurance defense counsel in any way he can including not following the law and ignoring the facts of your case-do not roll the dice with this Judge and disqualify him-he is the worst judge you could be assigned to, any other judge in that courthouse will give you a fair hearing.
