James A. Mangione

Terrible. Glad he isn’t in vista family court anymore. He is biased and pro father (abuser)

Rude and unprofessional in civil court. Had to apologize for his rude behavior on a procedural objection while trying to praise an attorney that violated procedure. Doesn’t follow court procedures per fellow judge.

It is unclear if Judge James Mangione is corrupt or just highly biased towards his circle of lawyer buddies. While he received a $500 slap on the hand for violating campaign laws in August 2016, there are no other evidence of corruption. His campaign donors were all other lawyers and judges but that is quite normal. What is unique about Mangione is how detached his rulings are from law and precedent. His rulings are short, lack proper citing and generally lean towards the party he sides with.

One of the best judges that I have come across in my 33 years of practice. He is simply fantastic.

I've been a lawyer for 33 years. Judge Mangione is a breath of fresh air. Very fair. Also, has a great temperment. I've had success and failure in his courtroom. I like him a lot. Wish all judges were like him.

[Redacted by Ed.] He also shows a strong distaste for the self represented. I sat in his court a few times and noted how he cuts off and ignores the arguments of those he prejudice as inferior to his favorite lawyers. His favoritism is reflected in his rulings which are mostly arbitrary [Redacted by Ed.] Someone needs to call this judge out publicly!

Judge JAMES A. MANGIONE is why We The People lost all trust in the judiciary. MANGIONE is pro-business, Anti-People. Mangione has a record of prejudice against self-represented litigants. [Redacted by Ed.] Refused to recuse himslef despite a timely filed 170.6 motion AND instructed his clerk to file the 170.6 14 days after it was E-Filed to appear is if it was untimely. It is time to expose these judge publicly!

Extremely plaintiff-oriented. Does not follow the law. Pompous and arrogant. If you represent the defense, he should b a definite 170.6.

While this judge was in private practice as a partner at Wingert Grebing Juskie LLP, he jointly worked with Michael O'halloran a bankruptcy Lawyer to represent his close friend, a lawyer who was sued for debt collection. To protect the public, Judges are required to file "Notice of Judicial Disclosure" regarding their prior legal and professional relationships with any former associate/ lawyers, a law firm they are familiar with. They must recuse themselves if they know the relationship would influence, has bias, or prejudice any party to a case. (Code Civ. Proc., 170.1 and Rules Proc. of State Bar rule 5.46.)
