Every negative comment is absolutely wrong.

Every negative comment is absolutely wrong. She is one of the smartest and hardest working judges I have ever come across in my entire career. She understands the issues very quickly and knows the law. She is very fair. Additionally, her staff is great.

I have the lowest opinion of any judge I have ever encountered based on trial transcripts and my 28 page well-documented complaint I filed against Ruth Ann Kwan regarding a civil case.

Dear Private, The CJP can’t be trusted to uphold the law, making citizen direct action necessary.

Dear Private, The CJP can’t be trusted to uphold the law, making citizen direct action necessary. Keep up the fight. Post all you know. Information is power and information wants to be free. You will be vindicated, and the crimes of this judge exposed in time. Very Truly, Ventura County’s Radiant Truth

Based on court transcripts and my beliefs, I filed a well documented complaint on April 20, 2020, against Judge Ruth Ann Kwan with the Commission on Judicial Performance consisting 28 pages that documented Kwan's conduct and her recorded statements. Based on information and belief, I believed Kwan's conduct was egregious and hostile misconduct with extreme prejudice against me, the Plaintiff, regarding a CA Superior court case. I also believe Kwan's instructions to the jury omitted full "relevant" terms and conditions of a settlement agreement that was the subject to the court case. Kwan, I believe, by limiting/ prohibiting my reference to full settlement terms and conditions, to allow me to present the settlement agreement within the accepted terms that the agreement be interpreted within the "four corners" of the settlement agreement that was the subject of my court case was detrimental to my case. The Commission on Judicial Performance, much later on July 15, 2021, dismissed my 28 page complaint without addressing "any of my specific, well documented transcribed words of Kwan". This causes me to believe the commission did not review my complaint with due diligence which causes me to believe their determination is irrefutably worthless. The commission dismissed my complaint against Kwan by simply claiming in "one sentence" that the commission found no basis for action against the judge "OR" determined not to proceed further. Appears to me the commission did not want to proceed. I also find the other one star reviews pertaining to Kwan very disturbing. Comment #CA37777 below should be reviewed often.

Worst judge I have encountered in over 30 years of trying cases.

Worst judge I have encountered in over 30 years of trying cases. She should not be on the bench. Bad tempered. Decides who should win and then molds her rulings accordingly. You cannot rely on what she says during counsel discussions or pre-trial rulings. She either doesn’t remember what she said/ruled or intentionally sandbags you. Make a record each time and get a transcript. Anything she said that is not on the record will not be honored if she does not want it to be, and even if the record exists, she will change her mind even after you relied on what she said/ruled. 170.6 for the sake of your client and your own sanity.
