Comments:
This judge allowed fraud on the court, refused to allow me to respond to the false claims that were filed with the court. Denied me the opportunity to present evidence to the court that the exparte hearing never notified me. The Judge claimed the newspaper notice was all I that I was required and its to late to respond.

I have watched this Judge disparage and defame people who do NOT know the law, i have seen some of his rulings that actually harm good people.
He has bragged how rich he become by suing big oil and others. Prior to be on the Bench.

I think he is a terrible Judge and thinks himself to above others, while he walks in town to lunch or where ever he refuses to acknowledge people.

As he once said " I'm a Judge" I do not have to lower my standards to the common people

Rating:3.6
Comments:
Very pro-plaintiff. Smart but lazy. Does not want to read summary judgment motions. Allowed plaintiff's attorney to ignore Code of Civil Procedure while requiring defense attorney to adhere to every rule. He was biased against my client. Very disappointing because he has the intelligence to be an effective Judge but allows his pre-dispositions to get in the way. He could also be mean-spirited.

Argued a petition for writ of administrative mandate to Judge Crandall. He put aside two hours for the case. He reviewed the record. He issued a detailed tentative ruling. He allowed the parties to thoroughly argue the tentative. He asked pointed questions. He treated the attorneys with respect. We lost, but we got a fair shake. Really, all you could ask for in a judge. Wish there were more like him.
