Richard F. Walmark

I had a case as a defendant before Judge Walmark. The case carried on for over a year with constant continuances. He never really let the plaintiff or the defendants present their cases, and eventually we were heard by a temporary judge who heard the matter and issued a ruling in one day. It was very frustrating, particularly when the judge started raising issues that were not even a part of the action. At times, he seemed very unfocused.

He definitely likes to hear himself talk. It makes the whole process drawn out and inefficient. He then has obvious scheduling issues. I do think he has a chip on his shoulder for being in small claims. He also focuses exclusively on small technicalities which defeats the small claims process in order to avoid making a call. He should not be a judge. He does not have the discernement for it nor the inclination to be decisive on any issue.

Richard F. Walmark is a horrible judge. If you see his name RUN and request someone else. He is self absorbed and not for justice. He spends most of the time talking about himself as well as asking unnecessary and irrelevant questions to the case. He is everything we deem wrong with the system and I would encourage you to avoid his courtroom.

Is unfair in legal proceedings and does not address behavior inconsistent with court rules. Demonstrates favoritism and bias.

I feel compelled to leave a review after having seen these defamatory comments from disgruntled people. I had a civil hearing and while I have no clue what his ruling will be yet, I feel he was fair, VERY patient, and understanding of both sides. He also really took the time to hear both sides out, ask clarifying questions, and educate us on misconceptions according to legal perspectives along the way. That’s important for people to understand. Coming to court is definitely not fun, but regardless of how it turns out, I know I was heard fairly and compassionately and that’s the most you could ask for from a judge. Thank you for your service.

Very fair judge, to be honest, i was the plaintiff. and i still dont know his ruling, but the fact that he took over 45 minutes asking in depth questions about the case, trying to determine if the motion to quash had grounds to be approved or denied, shows that he IS actually motivated to determine cases in accordance with the law, more so than just personal bias. He was calm and patient with an obvious emotionally charged litigant in explaining in laymen terms what the procedure was requiring to determine if procedural service was in fact proper or not. Again, I'm still waiting for a ruling on that motion so this is a very honest opinion of his role as a judge, that is why i thought its best to share my experience prior to the decision, I'm kind of surprised at the other comments, but those seem more emotional based post judgement, rather than a view from an outsiders perspective. Keep up the good work

In my experience so far this judge knows how to make it look fair….so far so good ….

Judge Walmark will always be the smartest guy he knows so he is always the smarted guy in the courtroom. Beyond a condescending and nefarious demeanor is a Judge free from being held accountable for his words and actions. Knowing that small claims does not have to consider evidence he is a tyrant with no end in sight. Being that this is the Country of Los Angeles Superior Court it goes without saying corruption reigns supreme even in small claims. I highly advise people who are serious about saving this state and country to file complaints against him. You will get nowhere with those complaints but they add up and over time will expel him as a parasitical public servant.

The Judge awarded a case where i provided Evidence and Detailed following the Protocol rules of Evidence and Exchange- iam the Defendant Being Falsely accused by The Plaintiff which This fabrication was led to Plaintiff using the courts to harass me due to i left him and put child suport againts me now he makes up anything he can to his power= The saddest part is that The Judge seemed believe his verbal testomony instead of mine and im sure he did not go through the Evidence because i had all in there for defending my case and also i provided all based on protocol when the Plaintiff Did not. Also the Plaintiff gave inaccurate dates of occurence when i had my Evidence i even told the Judge that cant be true because i have A calendar with dates where shows that the time we visit for exchange took somewhere different based on what he told the Judge-& The Judge seemed not to take that Evidence into Proof of collection? Why ? Im not Guilty -He made up a story-He is the father of my son-Why will The Judge approve Grant a case where its untrue-i even spoke to a detective and the detective told me that anyone can make a false report on another party doesnt mean its taken to be believed and the detective also confirmed there was not incident report against me based on what the Plaintiff stated to me of information provided. This is unfair- The Judge did seem as a calm Judge and i noticed too that when the Plaintiff falsely accused me of something negative he will right away look at me-and deep inside i will feel like what do i do or say To my understanding in court we are suppose to remain calm and not speak or say anything until we get our turn to speak- So i was remaining calm but he kept starting at me like i dont know if trying to read me when Plaintiff accused me-Felt kind of awkward because what can i say if im not being the one giving statement -I just told him the Truth it was our son who took the phone-The phone was taken different places and i did return phone to p

I have been in front of so many judges and they seem to be getting worse with time but this is the second time I've been in front of Judge Walmark has the absolute best, gentle temperament and ability to decipher information provided accurately. I don't understand all these bad reviews. Some of these people need to go up in front of some of the other judges to understand how much they should be appreciating Judge Walmark
