Maria Puente-Porras

Absolutely awful. Ordered a single mother with 50/50 legal and physical custody to drive over one hour on her custody time to place her 3 and 4 year old children in preschool on her time.

Absolutely deplorable, bias [her commingling with attorneys smells of corruption], forgetful or lazy [the notes are right there!], walks into the courtroom as if she is not an employee of the people.

In June, my building manager who employs her children as security guards at 1500 East Anaheim and who physically attacks residents, was able to convince the judge to grant her a 3 year restraining order against me for no reason other than what the judge called "potential violence". I have not threatened or assaulted anyone in my building, I was never served with papers to go to court, the server lied in his declarations and cited to different and conflicting dates for this, supposedly, service the judge already denied two previous ex-parte applications for failing to notify, despite me having given prior notice to both Bridge Housing and the law firm representing them. Due to my filings a future hearing is set for July 21st, I have already perceived that justice was not served by giving my assailant protection from me, especially that she has evicted us in retaliation and was pissed because I posted a You Tube Video shaming her. Eviction in retaliation for exercising freedom of speech! We couldn't afford a lawyer so I agreed to vacate my two minor children and their unemployed mother to the street or to an unknown destiny. Bridge Housing Corporation who owns the building and who is partially using public funds defended the criminal management, the manager's children are working as guards without licenses, their employing company, Hook Security is working without Long Beach license and likely carries no liability coverage, the manager's son smokes pot while he's sitting in his car all night, being paid by a security company which hiring was arranged by his mother! When guards assault and insult us, the courts and police look the other way. City of Long Beach waisting millions on employees couldn't investigate a security company working without a license, could not inspect our unit for roach infestation for a complaint to code enforcement 6 months on-going, a judge in Long Beach denied my RO against Phelicia Wright assaulting me, along with guard son, on public sideways, outside work hours!! This report will have a sequel on July 21st, for obvious reasons.

Absolutely temperamental and aloof. Often forgets what she said in earlier proceedings...time to retire

RUN, RUN, RUN. Very biased from the beginning and no clue why. Has a very clear agenda and won’t let things like facts or evidence get in the way of her agenda. Even when appoints minor’s counsel, they’re are the younger newbies that cower to what she wants to hear, not doing any actual work or representing the children. Judge goes out of her way to spend much time chiding and berating everyone who appears before her for no other apparent reason that to make herself “look” better. Wasted time and then offensive orders.

Punte-Porras is a real one. Being a judge is hard especially in family court where there is no jury. She is the best judge in Whittier courthouse. I love her. On the other hand, Her colleague judge Veronica Sauceda should be removed and prosecuted for psychological and emotional child abuse. Punte-Porras, if you ever see this comment, please yea h Sauceda how to keep her emotions about men at home when she comes to work. She is traumatizing children based on her views of men. Keep being great Maria. The community loves you. Signed- a dedicated devoted father.

She should not be in family court, awful and [redacted]. Doesn't know the meaning of unbiased on ruling or conduct in court. Something has to be done, she ruining my children lives and well as their parents. She doesn't have a clue, along with the attorneys appointed for the children's court Shahon (hypocrites). Supposed be in support what is best for the children and separating children from a parent permanently isn't what's best for the children, especially when the father is doing all asked of him and the other side is manipulating something else [redacted]. They both should be ashamed of themselves.

She was totally biased, abuse of power, used her power to literally work for defense counsel. Defense counsel did not have to sit there, the judge did his work for him. I think the judge, defense counsel and defendant (a sheriff) with ties in Whittier courthouse. Defendant's family is well know in the Whittier area and has a lot of influence. It showed in the courtroom.

I had video and witness evidence. The other party had no evidence since there was no wrong-doing on my part. Puente-Porras gave us both restraining orders, I believe, just to look balanced, in spite of what the evidence showed. The audio on the video was most important and when the court speakers would not play the audio portion she would not let me connect my own speaker to the laptop, which was ready to go. When the opposing woman of color yelled "Asian hate!" the judge (who is also a woman of color) sympathized with her and against me, a white male. The judge's rationale for giving me a restraining order was that I showed prejudice when I sent a let with a (USPS issued) stamp with a picture of a dragon. The judge also gave a restraining order to my wife who had not spoken to the opposing party for years. In spite of the lack of contact, the other party served my wife court papers. When the judge confronted the other party about having no contact with my wife, the other party responded that my wife had taken a picture of her. Even though the photo was taken from within our own home, behind a closed window, to document events related to the serving of papers, the judge still issued a restraining order against my wife. The judge dragged out an open-and-shut case for days, until it was resolved by a different judge who ended the case in five minutes.

Puente-Porras, the term judge is used loosely. She does not read all presented evidence. She gives no explanation for her ruling only to say, "I feel.." Her ruling is not based on presented facts which she refuses to read/hear from witness. Be aware with this person.

Maria Puente-Porras does not hear/read evidence (text messages/photos/witnesses) of both parties. She relies on her own biased opinions. Please be aware of this judge who should be investigated for her unethical standards.

Maria puente porras holds unethical standards to the court, especially in family court. She doesn’t follow the court procedures but rather her own hormonal opinion. She doesn’t hear your side, she throws out your paperwork and says “it wasn’t filed in a timely manner” which is not true, it was filed before the opposing attorney’s deadline. She needs to be looked into. This was a family court custody and visitation matter.
