Loved that Judge! He was like a patient father teaching instead of just spouting out facts and rules. ( not that our favorite judges do that..cause they don't! I just liked his approach!)
He reminds me of 'Steve Harvey' ! . . 🤷 . . You've gotta have a little game show host in you to do his job . . 🥴 . . " O.K. ladies we're gonna spin the wheel ! ! . . 😱
I once inadvertently dropped my bible during my liquor store robbery. It was stressful because I was almost through reading it. On the plus side, I got $38 and a bottle of Jim Beam.
Mike, it's obvious that your guests are also your friends. It's wonderful to watch the videos and listen to the commentary. It's even better to be part of the chat! (I missed the notification today.) I have a theory and I wanted to give you an observation: It is YOUR influence that makes all of this so enjoyable. Your kindness filters our aggression, your humor increases our laughter and your knowledge is thought-provoking. You have created something really terrific with your channel. Please keep doing the live streams as often as possible. Thank you Mike☺️
This first judge is amazing. He is patient and takes the time to communicate in a way that the lay person can understand. It can't be assumed that people always know what is happening as they get passed through the court system.
Very interesting selection of cases. Thank you so much for all your hard work. You look quite spiffy in a suit and tie, by the way! I look forward to more Blandino content later on.
As a long time California resident (now a ‘former’…I finally escaped) and the spouse of a contractor, contracting without a license is a HUGE problem in Cali. It is a regular occurrence for homeowners and small businesses to get completely shafted or destroyed. Not all cases meet the criminal standard, but there are plenty that do…
This judge/magistrate is a complete saint!! I assume he has ALS and he plows through all of these words like a champ. I’ve never seen a judge/magistrate who educates the defendants as well as he does. I think more judges should explain the process like he does! That first chick needs a sewing circle to hear all of her complaining, not the person who’s deciding whether she goes home or stays in jail!!! 😂
@@LoriCrabtree31 Oh yes, you’re exactly right! I’ve worked with enough people with CP that it should have been obvious. Shame on me! LOL. What an amazing man he is!!
In the contractor case with the "restitution" most likely it's this.. The "contractor" did some work which was then identified by code enforcement to be incorrectly done and the home owner had to pay fines, or the work they did failed causing significant damage and it was determined that the contractor was not licensed. It may also be work that was supposed to be permitted but no permit was obtained. Either way, he probably advertised as licensed but wasn't in order to get charges like this. In California you're actually required to post your professional contractors license number on your work vehicle.
The animated judge at around 3:35 is awesome. I would love to hear him describe how to do just about anything up to and including how the SpaceX Raptor II engine works! He just makes it interesting!
Mike all your videos are a true gem. Keep sharing and bringing mirth into the legal process while giving us free advice on what to do and what not to do.
Everytime I break the law, they arrest me and take my photo, add it to my record and making me look bad. They should be ashamed. I did everything told me to do...OTHER THAN STOP BREAKING THE LAW
I enjoyed the last clip because I can relate. I had a contractor build a screened porch for me over 4 years ago. They did an awful job, screwed something up every time they were building. It was so bad I made the owner extend the warranty. Then he refused to honor the warranty, refused to have a proper inspection done and eventually stopped responding to any of my phone calls, emails, etc. I have learned way more than I ever wanted to about general contractors. I filed a complaint with the Secretary of State’s office and am hoping they will file a cease and desist order against them. 🙄
JACK!!! 🥰🐕 I always love seeing Ben's reaction to some of these crazy defendants - sometimes you can feel him cringing from here. LOL!! Thank you, gentlemen!! ❣
I was addicted to fentanyl and it was very hard to get off of...I thank God I didn't turn into a statistic and I was able to get sober...Treatment is the best thing for an addict...
Your videos make me so happy. I'm basically housebound these days and often get very down. You have helped me smile, laugh and feed my law nerd addiction lol
In CA if you've done remodeling on your house it most be signed off by a licensed contractor or it can seriously affect the sale and price of your home as well as insurance. Having done remodel work on two homes. This extended to electric, plumbing, foundation work, roofing etc. Not to painting, plasterwork, any surface work. NEVER hire an unlicensed contractor.
Hi Mike! Jeremy doesn’t get the picture that you can’t talk your way out of jail! Jeremy spoken court today! I think that its time for him to get the idea that he needs to stop because a lot of judges don’t take crap from anyone! I am the same way!
The first judge reminds me so much of my oldest son! He shows that nothing is impossible with perseverance and hard work. I’m guessing he has CP *going off how my son and others I know communicate* but regardless his approach, communication skills and patience is phenomenal
29:00 I knew a guy that did this and served jail time as a result. He was in Nebraska at the time. He also had a quite lengthy albeit realatively petty criminal history. He sold a bunch of jobs and collected half down but never showed up to do the work. Needless to say, the court had a pretty dim view on his actions considering his prior criminal history and I believe he has deferred sentiment or was on probation. I can't remember exactly but he ended up serving over a year for his tomfoolery!
A case I watched yesterday on bigens said if you promise work and do an amount $1500 less than what was paid for, it's a felony, so if you were paid $2000 and only did $500 worth of work it's a felony
Unlicensed Contractor in CA will most definitely get you a felony now. These guys either make off with a homeowners money, they do shoddy work that no inspector in his right mind will sign off on or they do a whole job without permits and the homeowner is unaware so the homeowners are left with an unlicensed, unbonded, unpermited nightmare. So CA has gotten very tough with these guys. They get a rush of them after natural disasters, like fire season, which is typically devistating in CA.
I missed this noooo! But I love the judge who seemed kinda drunk and overly explained he is the best and having to deal with miss sassy attitude!!🤏🏾🤏🏾🤏🏾 I love his money fingers!!
@@amb865 My thoughts as well on the hearing / speech. It’s more noticeable on certain sounds in words that I notice with a friend who has had hearing loss since childhood.
Husband had a construction small business for 27 yrs. Upheld all the laws that occurred having his business. People like the defendant and illegal employees from other construction businesses is why we had to close the business.
I know what happened, ok so here in FL the cops set up stings, they hire a bunch of contractors to do work, then after they do the work they ask for all the paperwork lol. Happened to my husband once but we are licensed and all lol
That Judge🤪in the suit his voice reminded me of *Richard Pryor* (im old yall lol so u may not know who im talking bout)&He Seemed drunk or high to me idk but he was great to watch!😆
California, where remodeling someone's bedroom without a contractor's license is a felony, but knowingly giving someone a deadly disease is a minor misdemeanor.
This first judge may be the most patient man I’ve ever seen. He deserves to drop the hammer, but doesn’t and gives everyone the benefit of the doubt. Even Judge Fink, who I absolutely adore, seem like petty tyrants in comparison (and they absolutely are NOT).
Felony charges are filed against anyone who illegally uses another person’s contractor license or who tries to mislead consumers into believing that he or she is a licensed contractor.
Great to have Ben on doing his thing and also.... How fancy do you look in your suit and tie. Or did you steal that off a contractor on his way to court 🤔😎
I don’t understand what difference it would make on the construction case if he gets his licence after the fact - when at the time he is being accused, he was not licenced?
When you have damage to your property & want insurance to cover it, they won't if contractor had no, expired, or false license. Millions of dollars in damages, people's entire property or business, life savings... It should be criminal & if contractor is convicted than insurance possibly will help pay
Glad Ben is making regular appearances. Ben seems like the kind of guy that knows when you're in need of a friend, and shows up with a six pack going, "hey man, want to have some beers?"
That judge in the first 19:00 is amazing, he is a bit long winded but he is trying to make it so they don’t waste his time. He is respectful, he does not come out like other Judges and say you did this or you did that. This judge is also very helpful, these ladies appreciated him also.
I watched this judge yesterday. And I found him delightful. So expressive. 😂 but I skipped through it to the end. Because I thought that’s where the action started. I read the wrong message. The next video started at 20 mins. Haha 😂so this is great that I can watch it with you all. 😢 sad it’s not live.
"They took my bible, my purse, my shoes....." She makes jail sound like an inconvenience or something 😂
😂
Hope they didn't take her alcohol
@@danielbyrne5402 That's probably her first stop after she gets out
🤣🤣
I know, right?? LOL!!! 😂🤪
The three ladies behind Ms Jones have facial expressions that say “we’re not with her!”
Even the other prisoners want to lock her up.
Yup😂
Yeah ! They're body language is priceless ! . I bet she's a pleasure to be locked up with ! . . 🥴
That judge is a sweetheart. He found his calling.
Loved that Judge! He was like a patient father teaching instead of just spouting out facts and rules. ( not that our favorite judges do that..cause they don't! I just liked his approach!)
He could be a life coach.
Agree, he was clear and concise and didn't talk down to them during his explanation, he would be an amazing teacher.
The judge remind me of Richard Pryor when when he is being serious but funny. He almost makes identical facial expressions.
And his voice!
He reminds me of 'Steve Harvey' ! . . 🤷 . . You've gotta have a little game show host in you to do his job . . 🥴 . . " O.K. ladies we're gonna spin the wheel ! ! . . 😱
Very much reminded me of Richard Pryor.
I was trying to figure out who he reminded me of thank you
I was thinking same thing!
"Where do I go pick up my things Lord?" Had me dying 🤣💀🤣
😂😂😂
Like this woman hasn't been to jail before.
She'd just been praying hard I'd say. Got 'em mixed up.
She probably likes Jesus because, rumour has it, he could make wine.
@@Heathen.Deity. LMMFAO
Give her a break Mike! She's only at the liquor store daily because she's picking up her communion wine because she's a God fearing woman.
She has the right to remain silent, what you lacks is the capacity
The first judge is awesome I think he has a hearing impairment and is easy to understand.
I once inadvertently dropped my bible during my liquor store robbery. It was stressful because I was almost through reading it. On the plus side, I got $38 and a bottle of Jim Beam.
😂
How awful! At least you weren't separated from your dog though 😅
10:34. !!! SLAM!!
“Where do I ..pick up my personal things LORD uh, Sir, Judge?”
🤣🤣🤣
This judge just taught a class on bail bonds before court! I love this judge!❤
I've never heard a judge explain things like this, interesting 🤔
She’s a God fearing woman that goes to buy liquor everyday at that liquor store to keep others from buying and drinking the alcohol. 😂
Who had her kids taken away.

I like this first judge because he explains things to these ladies on a very simple, fundamental level that’s easy to understand.
This first judge is amazing. He is patient and takes the time to communicate in a way that the lay person can understand. It can't be assumed that people always know what is happening as they get passed through the court system.
MIKE, Notice how he talks to these women like they have a 3rd grade education.How did he know?
... because they're in jail in front of him.
Hey wait, I didn't know this stuff!!
He's a very enthusiastic judge, good heart
Is he still working without a contractor’s license? This is extremely prevalent in San Diego
Very sad,but homeowners can verify the presence of a license with the state contracting agency.
Very interesting selection of cases. Thank you so much for all your hard work. You look quite spiffy in a suit and tie, by the way! I look forward to more Blandino content later on.
Thank You
I love the guy in the tie! He is very clear in his informationn.
Her dog has probably had the best night for a long time. It’s been able to chill on its own, while Drinkie McMouthpiece is out for a day.
This judge is so kind, smart & amazing! What a gem ! He’s a good person!!

Mike you should start watching the waukesha parade trial. It's the true definition of an idiot for a client when you choose to represent your self.
He has. That case is an absolute gem for those looking for SovCit laughs.
I love this judge. He is amazing in explaining everything. I wish more judges would be this way.
OMG You and Mike are hilarious together. I love watching the both of you.
Magistrate, bit of Richard Pryor, bit of Mr. Rogers, bit of every 2nd grade teacher, bit of Keegan Michael Key, gallon of patience
A bit of a coach too. He'd be great coaching sports.
Clear and simple! Judge #1
