Judge Duffy-Lewis is a very patient and fair judge with pro pers and all litigants regardless of the rulings for which she is always prepared for. Her staff is very accommodating and courteous. No matter the outcome it is always a pleasure to be in her court. She lets you try your case but maintains control over counsel and the litigants to maintain proper decorum.

THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST JUDGES HATER I HAVE EVER SEEN.

THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST JUDGES HATER I HAVE EVER SEEN. AS ALL OF THE SUPERIOR COURT JUDGES ARE. THEY HATE SELF-REPRESENTED PLAINTIFFS TO THE CORE. THEY FAVORED THE POWERFUL NOT THE TRUE FACTS OF THE CASE. SHE HAS TO RETIRE. HER STAFF HAVE LIED TO HER IN COURT. SHEME ON THIS JUDGE. SHE SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE BENCH. SHE A RACIST HATED BIG TIME. SHE DOESN'T BELONG IN A COURT OF LAW. SHE'S AN EQUAL EMBARRASSMENT TO THE LEGAL PROFESSION. SHE FAVORS CORRUPT LAWYERS. HER DESPICABLE THIRST TO BEAT AND ROB THE PLAINTIFFS OF THEIR CIVIL RIGHTS IS BEYOND DESPICABLE, IT SHOULD BE A CRIMINAL CHARGE AGAINST HER. SHE LOVES TO DISMANTLE AND VIOLATE THE RIGHTS OF THE PERMANENT DISABLE IN PROSE. SHE DOES NOT HAVE AN INCH HUMANITY IN HER. SHE SHOULD BE FIRED FROM THE COURT SYSTEM. SHE'S RACIST DESPICABLE JUDGE.

I had a complicated civil matter in this judge's courtroom as a plaintiff's counsel.

I had a complicated civil matter in this judge's courtroom as a plaintiff's counsel. This judge was extremely knowledgable of the law, read the pleadings and was well versed in applying the law. I noticed the previous comments complained about the judge being "prejudice" against them but their poorly written comment indicates why they had difficulty at a trial and why they lost on the facts. The other attorney's both plaintiff an defense I encountered at the courthouse during my trial all had great comments about what an outstanding jurist Judge Duffy-Lewis is. I hope I have her again.

This judge goes out of her way to create a fair, competent and pleasant environment to try a case in.

This judge goes out of her way to create a fair, competent and pleasant environment to try a case in. I have lost a jury trial in her court but my client told me after that he thought she was very fair in her rulings, knowledge of the law, excellent demeanor. She is very fair and knowledgable in her rulings.

She seems woefully unprepared, and at times her rulings are indecipherable.

She seems woefully unprepared, and at times her rulings are indecipherable. The only good news is that opposing parties have a good laugh together at her expense. There is some gallows humor among the lawyers who have to deal with her.

This Judge does not have what it takes to be impartial or fair rendering a judgment.

This Judge does not have what it takes to be impartial or fair rendering a judgment. I Plaintiff filed my Mom's wrongful death case along with the Preponderance of the Evidence against the "Defendant Bellmont Village Nursing Home" in Palos Verdes. Unfortunately, after two years of going back and forth, she said I got too many cases to handle and I must dismiss a few of them altogether. Litigants, please beware of this senile incompetent impotent Judge. Now my case against this incompetent Judge has been filed with the California Supreme Court. Hopefully, those seven Justices will reprimand this senile Judge and would replace her with a qualified knowledgeable Justice who does not give our justice system a BAD NAME !!!!

Finally reaching a point after spending thousands and thousands of dollars to have Judge Duffy-Lewis be impatient and uninformed, all the while hiding behind the walls of Zoom is simply unprofessional. Whether or not we prevailed is not the point here. The point is that those of us who are on the receiving end of a legal procedure (innocently) trust that we will be treated respectfully from a Judge who has taken the time to fully understand what's in front of them and not make improvised rulings.
