I’ve seen Slawson turn a blind eye, in unbelievable fashion, to extraordinarily CLEAR evidence, in favor of a moving party, so that he can rule in favor of another party, for what in hindsight seems like sus and very suspicious motivations (like what the other person said, appeasing his bully courtroom staff at the time). Totally not a “fine” judge. And by the way, fine judges rarely exist nowadays, as that requires good people to serve in such fine capacity. From what I’ve seen nowadays, there are no more good people on the bench.[Redacted]

Judge Slawson is a perfectly fine judge, but I think he might be happier as a professor, he clearly likes to hear himself opine whether or not whatever topic he's fixated on that day is relevant to the case before him.

In my opinion, this guy is totally not fit to be a judge.

In my opinion, this guy is totally not fit to be a judge. Went to the Dishonorable John Slawson’s courtroom back when he was in Pomona and from the get-go it was a weird feeling in which we all got the sense his courtroom was being influenced by his bully staff (in a not-so-conventional racial sense). Like the other reviewer below said, this puppet “judge” didn’t even look at all the evidence, obviously a behavioral pattern of this jurist, only seeming to refer to the expressions of his clerks/staff by side glance. This makes me believe that Slawson is a weak man. My case was vetted by three attorneys who said I would prevail. I did not prevail. I later learned from mutual acquaintances of friends that they, too, had experiences with this so-called judge. And their experiences also seemed “off,” with an outcome far from just and right. Rightfully, Slawson has also earned the nickname “Judge Dumbass” by at least one attorney that I personally know. And this attorney never talks smack about other judges, which is telling in and of itself. Suffice to say, I don’t think this Slawson Clown is in Pomona any more. I believe he was eventually carted off and installed at a different courthouse. God knows where he is now. As a side note, how do these types of “people” get into power? In my opinion, people like Slawson are completely incompetent. Slawson has a degree from a no-name law school, with an extraordinary low bar pass rate, and Slawson has no discernible intellectual ability (from what I’ve personally seen and heard from others) to make up for it. I guess this proves it’s not about what you know, but who you blow? Suffice to say, I have a total loss of confidence in the court system. Why do we pay taxes to fund these crap judges, crap public service, and a crap “justice” system not worthy of a banana republic? With these types of people “leading” America, no wonder America is headed for the dumps! As the other reviewer said below, “karma is a b*tch.” Maybe one day, G
