Don't let this antisometic communist midget kick or prohibit the court reporter from the room.

Don't let this antisometic communist midget kick or prohibit the court reporter from the room. When you see him kicking the court reporter out of the room, it means he doesn't want a record of the nasty stuff he's about to do. Another failed loser lawyer on the bench with a rotten personality.

Worst example of what a judge should be.

Worst example of what a judge should be. Seems to target some litigants for abuse without reason and completelt ignores or disregard the law much of the time. Not an activist judge, more like a deranged law breaker. Call him the homeowner Russian roulette.

I've been a criminal defense attorney for 20 years, and Judge Kalra stands out as one of the finest judges I've ever appeared before. He was consistently punctual, fair in his rulings, and handled his calendar with efficiency. It's truly disappointing that he is no longer serving in criminal court

Someone is monitoring this site and erasing the TRUTH. [Redacted by Ed.] He dissed the Ct. Reporter so that the truth would be HIDDEN. [Redacted by Ed.] which is LEFT ALL THE Way- this is the new standard at the Stanley Mosk Ct house and all over this state. Beware Scientologist trial coming to this court room. I suspect that this is going to be a KANGAROO PROCEEDING

This is the only i have at first, feeling like he might be a little bit scary, and then he is absolutely the blessing of judges. He not only actually follows the laws and implement them when they're currently changing and shifting knowing the language of how to ship with it, and the landscape, he provides plenty of time and while he won't give you the ruling you want half the time he'll give you a ruling that's better and if that's not the case because you're on the wrong end of it, it's probably because you did something wrong and he caught you the other thing about him is he catches people he catches people cheating and lying and he calls him on it and put it in opinions and judgments and that is a judge that you want on your side or not on your side, do you want in the middle because that referee is at least honest enough to know how to play this game fairly and make people feel like there heard. [Redacted by Ed.] Pinder caught the fraud, and it was easy, but he even missed it. He missed things that weren't quintessential, such as there wasn't even the authorization for the case in the first place, because it was Issue's title in hand, and he never would have addressed those situation's because we were auto already followed by an ex parte hearing that we weren't even notified of to have the hearing in the first place but we left. We're lucky we caught it because he caught it because he caught it. He caught the Ex party was not searved proper ever aand that avid reports thaat we live there.

This judge was a prior government employee, public defender, those that send the innocents off to prison and make lousy deals. Such an uncouth horrible judge. Treats the litigants like gangsters and crooks cause that is who he has been dealing with all of this legal life. Haven't seen such a terrible judge in decades such as this one.

Another lousy Stanley Mosk Judge- they keep getting worse and worse. File your cases elsewhere or you will extremely dislike the outcome. Lousy judge who hates ppl it seems. He should retire and take his hate elsewhere.

This judge if you can call him "that" was ridiculing a litigant with pre-Parkinson shaking in court- I don't think that Michael J. Fox would take this lightly. I have never seen this sort of behavior from a jurist ever. 170.6 immed.

Disgusting antisemitic freak of nature. He has no business being a judge. He makes fun of ppl with disabilities. Just disgusting. I sat in his courtroom and was disgusted. Take your cases elsewhere. He was appt. by one of the worst governors in Calif. history. To not go further, this guy is beyond a freak. Just horrible.
