Judge Paden is what every judge should be. I was in tears after witnessing what a great judge he is. I fled from the incompetence that pervades the Los Angeles County Courts. After the trauma I suffered there, witnessing the judiciousness, empathy, and wisdom exhibited by Judge Paden has restored a bit of my faith. If every Judge was more like Paden, the world would be a much better place.

Judge Paden took over dept 6 after Val Saucedo was removed, he brought integrity back to this dept. He is fair, listens to both sides, explains WHY he is imposing the sentencing he imposes and what he hopes it will accomplish. He does not appear to have an agenda other than rehabilitating the defendant by giving them all the tools needed to do this. I was worried all the newly appointed judges were not going to be honest as Alldredge, Kalashian, and Hollman.

Judge Paden sets the tone in his court. With this Judge, one will find that he is "by the book" and knows the laws extremely well. Judge Paden is not only intelligent, but he also has "common sense." Judge Paden is thorough; seeking the truth. This Judge is concise and fair. There is no room for lies and wasting valuable time. You play, you pay. Tulare County is blessed. N
