Doreen B Boxer

Insanely rude and arrogant ''judge''. The only good thing I would give her is she's very punctual. Her voice alone could break a mirror.

Judge Boxer assumed our civil case set for trial in Dept 19 and excluded recently discovered evidence on Day 1 of trial. The next day, after reviewing pre-trial orders by the previous judge, she reconsidered her ruling, continued trial, and gave PL time to conduct discovery on this evidence. Truly impressive and cares about the right result.

Only waiting for her pay check and too much confidence on their rulings didn’t do authentication of all documents including evidence.

This website incorrectly lists her as a judge, she is not (she is just a Commissioner, and THANK GOD). She is a very rude ideological hack who doesn't read declarations or listen to witnesses and rules based on her ideology and pre-conceived notions. She only respects attorneys (that she likes) and thinks Family court is Criminal court and gets crazy angry very easily. She should not even be on the bench. She was previously the head Public Defender of San Bernardino [Redacted by Ed.] she got hired by her friends judges at the LASC [Redacted by Ed.]

Ridiculed me in court for not having money for a child evaluation; then when I said I would get the money she held up my papers and said in court "Look everybody he came up with the money in 15 minutes." Of course, I just went into debt to provide $$ for the evaluation. I had to tell her I didn't have the money. When I had provide a cashier's check to the child evaluator and didn't have the cash, I was punished for dragging my feet. This "commissioner" took my son away over a 2-hour late delivery to his mother and invoked a stay-away order over the false allegation I was keeping our son from getting needed medication for his clinical depression, when no such diagnosis had been made and no prescription for an anti-depressant was issued. I didn't have contact with my son for 8 months. Then in subsequent hearing after child custody was restored, this commissioner sanctioned me for legal fees over the false claim made by my ex that I was keeping our son from medication. My son was taken away without due process as required by law (14th Amendment Kramer vs. Santosky 1953 Title 42 of Civil Code requires an evidentiary hearing before removing child from a parent. I sat in court another time and watched this commission and complicit female attorneys make fathers prove they were adequate parents before restoring custody, when it is the other way around. It must be shown the fathers are derelict in some way, not presumed to be deficient fathers. This "judge" is a man eater. Sure, attorneys rate her highly. She has no regard for children in divorce whatsoever. One hearing I was representing myself and opposing counsel led off with a request for order. The opposing attorney said "we need an order for the father to stay away from mother's home because he is pounding on her front door day and night." This commission barked out "So ordered!" and without opportunity to say "Objection your honor" or demand opposing party provide evidence for her demand, the order stuc
