More criticism on Judge Reyes's staff:

A Lawyer squawks:

What's the deal with Judge Reyes' JA? Have you ever tried to set a motion with her. She is rude, doesn't return telephone calls and asks so many questions about the merits of the motion that it makes you feel like invoking the 5th or at least asking for a Miranda warning. For fun, try setting a motion to compel discovery with her. Its more painful then walking on hot coals. Also for grins, try gaining access to Reyes' chambers. The iron maiden known as his JA has set up so many obstacles that it would be easier gaining access to an Iranian nuclear facility than Reyes' office.

JUDGE REYES...you are a nice guy, but explain to your JA that lawyers are not the enemy or medicate her.

Rumpole says, count us in as one of the many lawyers who have had the door slammed in their face by the Iron Maiden of JA's. We are confident that we could schedule a motion to set aside a misdemeanor BW before the US Supreme Court quicker and easier than getting that JA to answer her phones and not be rude to us.

(OK. So we have engaged in a bit of hyperbole. So sue us!. The fact remains that she doesn't answer her phone all the tine, , doesn't call attorneys back, and won't schedule any motion without an order from the almighty directing her to do so-filed in triplicate -with case law attached please.)

See You In Court- Just not Judge Reyes's court because we can't a motion scheduled.

i can add to this. Judge Reye's ja is very rude, and is not a very nice person. Sheis very unprofessional, and she thinks she knows it all. in reality she does not know anything. when she worked at the state, she was not the most brilliant person there either. Judge Reyes, be careful, because of your JA you might just loose your next election. Fire her and get someone nice and respectful.

Thank God for this blog!! I thought it was only me who "had to go back to law school." This low class woman had the temerity to tell this to my secretary when I was trying to get a motion on calendar. Yes Judge Reyes, she is that bad and is a reflection on you. Either you have bad judgement, or she has something on you.
