Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: CA10464
Rating:3.3
Comments:
Worst judge I have ever appeared in front of. Allows her personal views to cloud professional judgement. Seems nice at first but really truly awful.

Civil Litigation - Private

Rating:Not Rated

I presented a court trial in front of Judge Yew in December 2014. She's polite, considerate, and reasonable and makes every effort to be accommodating. She didn't even get angry when I inconvenienced the court and all parties by delaying the second day of trial for over an hour while waiting for my office staff to finish copying some documents. Based on how polite Judge Yew is, I actually would highly recommend her as a trial judge. In addition, she was fair, unbiased, and took her time to decide the issues in the case.
