Joshua D. Wayser

He didn’t even bother to read my file and was siding with my ex’s lies.

Not even worth my time

The most unfair judge in history. He should not even be a judge. He is the worst judge I have ever seen in my two decades as an attorney. He is horrible. He does not care about your well-being or your safety. He is extremely soft on criminals. I don't understand why he is still on the bench. He is the most dreadful judge. He destroyed my life. He should go be a judge in Iran. Horrible, horrible creature.

This is an incompetent and [Redacted by Ed.] judge. He mocks women by cultural appropriation of long manicured polished fingernails and large numbers of women’s bracelets on each wrist, while he rules against women who proved they were raped, assaulted, battered, stalked, and were beaten and strangled in attempted murder. He is truly sickening. He violates Jane Doe parties’ statutory right to anonymity by literally stating their name, he blames victims and claims the victims were abusive to their rapist and attempted murderer. In DVRO cases he prevents female victims from questioning the defendant, from presenting photos of their injuries, and from calling their witnesses including LAPD detectives and UCLA Rape Treatment Center psychologists. He falsely claims he sees “with his own eyes” the victim “easily” using her crippled limb (which was crippled by the attacker defendant as evidenced in medical records and a court judgment) even though the limb is completely enclosed in a large medical brace and cannot be used at all. He then puts his head down on the bench as if sleeping when a victim is testifying. He bizarrely trashes female victims even when multiple judges have proven the victim was injured. He acts as a defense counsel instead of a judge. Also, he is so ignorant of the law that he takes out a law book in the middle of a hearing to figure out the law. Again, [Redacted by Ed.] and incompetent, and inappropriately appropriates female culture while trashing female victims. Do a peremptory challenge immediately or suffer further abuse, this time by a judge.

This judge set my case back astronomically with his poor judgment and flippant commentary in front of all parties. He didn't take my matter seriously and what little he did say was damaging. He was cynical and made jokes about the case. Instead of being FAIR and PROFESSIONAL, he was set on adding fuel to the fire. The other reviews saying he doesn't like women may well be true.

This man is very bias. Denied me my rights for due process.I asked for another Attorney because mine never had time to discuss my defense for she just agreed with everything, told me to lie under oath and this judge said no, I wasnot going to honor my wishes. I also asked him to recuse himself for him showing to be pro-father.Then showed he held a grudge, He removed my parental rights based on his own personal opinion that that showed nothing in the evidence to support his claims. He accused me for the father being investigated for possible sexual misconduct from his own actions that I had no involment in. Gives the father full custody. Is where this Judge put my in harms way for where the father end up going to prison for Penal Code 289(B) then put thru emotional distress from fathers gf and she dies from OD and APS picked her up and just severed ties from her family, no justification, again denied my rights for due process, never made contact with her family and missing for the past 11 moments, I still have visitation. Then he denies my being seen by a medical doctor who specialized in my condition that DCFS forced the situations in 1 direction to say I had psychiatric issues, because the room all acted like they all knew better than I with my condition and were persistent in only sending me to psych appts but never a medical to prove me wrong. The only person who has psychiatric problems is the father and someone who showed DV already had a diagnosis of bi-polar give meds that he never took and just lied to everyone and where my daughter and I were always forced right back into the abuser hands. I can now show proof that I was telling the truth and show that this judge had everything about me wrong and because of his bias and grudge toward me he has cause my special needs daughter mental suffering, taken from her family, put her and another disabled in the hands of a realtor who preys on those that can't fight back and has no business raising his adopted special

Great demeanor Professional Listens to both sides and considers all evidence Fair If your family law case is in front of him, you're in good hands.

I had an elder abuse restraining order in front of this judge. He's one of the best judges on the bench. Insightful. Strong scholarship. Treats litigants fairly. I recommended him to the appellate bench.

Joshua Wayser’s tenure as a judge has raised significant concerns about judicial ethics, impartiality, and adherence to legal principles. While the judiciary is a cornerstone of fairness and justice, Wayser’s actions in several cases highlight troubling deviations from these standards. 1. Violations of Judicial Impartiality One of the most egregious critiques of Wayser involves his alleged actions of acting as both judge and prosecutor in certain cases. This dual role not only violates the fundamental separation of judicial and prosecutorial functions but undermines the fairness of the legal process. Litigants have an inherent right to impartial adjudication, and when a judge introduces their own allegations, they betray the trust placed in the judiciary. 2. Denial of Evidence Reports have surfaced that Wayser has denied litigants the opportunity to present evidence critical to their cases. Such actions directly contravene due process rights and reflect a concerning disregard for the foundational principles of justice. The denial of evidence tilts the scales of justice, leaving parties unable to present their full case and effectively silencing their voices. 3. Overturned Rulings Wayser’s judicial decisions have reportedly been overturned by higher courts on several occasions. These reversals are a testament to the flaws in his approach and highlight a lack of adherence to established legal standards. An overturned ruling reflects not just a mistake but a failure to respect the procedural and substantive fairness expected of a judge. 4. Public Identity [Redacted by Ed.] The judiciary must avoid even the appearance of bias or ideological influence. A judge’s role is to serve all litigants fairly, regardless of their identity or beliefs. By aligning himself so publicly with a specific identity, Wayser risks alienating litigants who may perceive him as partial or unfit to adjudicate their cases without prejudice. 5. Erosion of Trust Wayser’s conduct

Limited evidence. Had no DV training. Lacked the ability to consider complicated case evidence and over simplified issues regarding children and abuse.

He was kind to me on the stand ...but in chambers he called me a beauty queen and typical Manhattan Beach wife. I am no such thing. My terrible lawyer knew I was out of money to litigate so he didn't tell me what Judge Wayser said until after trial. How terrible on both parts. My x husband ( of 22 years and two children ) cut me off after I filed for divorce. He would NOT go to therapy as he was having an affair. I had no choice but to file and then he turned off all sources of money to care for our two children. My Mom of 78 years old, at the time, had to fly here to Los Angeles from Baltimore so she could open a bank account for the girls and I . I am NOT a former beauty queen or a typical MB wife. I am me. I put MYSELF thru college with Music scholarships and competing for MISS AMERICA , which is a SCHLOARSHIP pageant!!!! I won Miss Maryland went to Miss America , Made the top 10 and received more scholarship money for college and masters. I went on to sell over 5 million records as a Nashville country recording artist..on Curb Records. I raised both girls pretty much alone as he was verbally abusive and could be violent. He left when my youngest was 11. Judge Wayser is a mysogygist and it broke my heart and damaged me talking about me that way. He ruled on things that made no sense...He just hated me obviously . Get another judge if you are a woman. He seems so kind but he is quite terrible in his judgements.

I wasted millions defending my self in family law court against dirty lawyers Gary fishbein, Azita mozbat randi aksaki and fahi takesh hallin for what my global business man ex accused me of in court to not pay what is due to me as we both worked. Joshua Wayser is a criminal as he literally had me in three fake trials ignoring my true witnesses authentic public sec.gov exhibits/bank accounts original/ taxes as he retires pay for play in private judging with his peers that had hurt my case Roy Paul,Colin Leiss and Gary Roberts all fraud in our systems and lawyers are threatened to lose their bar card of they do not pay for pay by big global business men. Clerks and court reporters are a part of their scam play for pay as checks are written to their political views and private judging at 1200 an hour to get the outcome these big businesses want. all criminal acts ....

Joshua Wayser proclaims to be a LGTBQ judge despite that the State of California Codes of Judicial Ethics outlines that judges are to avoid handing out judgements based on sexual orientation. But Joshua Wayser doesn't care about judicial ethics. During his tenure he has acted as prosecutor when he brought his own allegations against a father in a familylaw matter - Joshua's prosecutorial venture as judge further caused the verdict to be overturned on appeal. furthermore it is not unlikely to see Joshua Wayser denying litigants (predominantly heterosexual males) the opportunity to display their evidence, ordering the record to be altered if the facts elicited are not in favor of Joshua's preferred party or engaging in outright injudicious commentary not relevant to the case before the court or simply to reach a decision not based on facts.. In my case Joshua utilized something reminiscent of folklore. As a litigant, I was left with the impression that Joshua Wayser exuded a tremendous hatred towards me while extending favoritism towards the other party. In this article - https://journals.librarypublishing.arizona.edu/appellate/article/id/2948/ - Joshua reveals that his conduct is based on what he refers to as his "LGTBQ perspective".. Rather, an ethical perspective would be more useful if Joshua Wayser is to provide a service that doesn't tarnish the integrity, solemnity and dignity of the court system.

This Judge's ruling is highly questionable - even at this early state of seeking a protection order. There is an accountability factor this Judge is missing... [Redacted by Ed.]

This judge is a hot mess. He failed to disclose a major conflict of interest with opposing counsel, and was publishing political screeds online about how the court systemically discriminates against LGBTQ litigants (https://journals.librarypublishing.arizona.edu/appellate/article/2948/galley/3041/download/), even describing himself as a "LGBTQ Judge", while he was the judge on my case where my ex identified as a lesbian. He wasn't even remotely fair. Judge Wayser gleefully put me through 5 years of custody evaluations (3 of them) because he believed everything my lying ex said, which was clearly fabricated, and anyone with half a brain could have determined that. Then he begrudgingly admitted in the final custody hearing that I had exceeded the court's expectations as a father. After repeatedly admonishing me on the court record, "I didn't think you could do it.", He effectively terminated my custodial rights to my daughter by allowing my ex to schedule my daughter for whatever she wanted on every single one of my 50/50 "custodial days" (shared custody in name only), including holidays, and I was court ordered to comply with my ex's plans made on my custodial time. So I ended up being a slave to my disordered ex to have any involvement with my daughter, which predictably ended our father/daughter relationship within a month. Then Judge Wayser had the gall to admonish me in the final custody hearing, "Quit while you're ahead" (how is this "ahead"???). He didn't even try to hide his bias toward me over 5 years because I'm not part of his in-group (LGBTQ) like him, and my ex, and his buddy opposing counsel. I spent over $600k in attorneys fees fighting for the right to be a father to my children. I never had a chance in front of this judge. I'm still trying to unwind the damage Joshua Wayser inflicted on my kids. I would have posted this years ago but Joshua Wayser is a bully and clearly a vindictive person, so I waited until he wasn't our judge anymore to
