Hon. Christina Garcia-Sen is a horrible judge who doesn't rule fairly nor does she take the time to understand complex cases. She denied my motion for filing it 2 days before the expiration date. Saying I was untimely and that I didn't give an explanation for being untimely. I filed before the expiration date. Not after and since it was still within the window, we didn't think it was necessary to provide an explanation. She overlooked so many things and she was rude and I agree with the comment below that she doesn't understand the cost or the in justice she doing to Santa Clara county residents. If you get her, request for an immediate change.

This judge is getting a bad reputation for unrepresented litigants. It has been brought up by several parties on this judge's calendar that she shows favoritism to unrepresented parties and follows whatever the attorney says by the parties who are represented. She does not follow the law for parties who do not have an attorney and takes advantage of her "power" in the family court system. Parties who do have an attorney will get whatever they ask for if the other side is not represented by an attorney. Keep your case out of her court, file to get her disqualified if you get assigned to her because if you have children, your family will suffer irreparable harm due to her biases. If you have an attorney; she will let you break the law without consequences and if you are not represented, you are automatically guilty without any evidence to support it. [redacted by Ed.]

Horrific, this judge violates families civil rights, she does not seem to understand the cost of what she is doing, causing people to lose custody of their children and costing parents money for supervised visitation even when their is no proof of domestic violence or other harm to a child by the parent, she seem to be more interested in checking her Bit Coin account instead of taking interest in the cases before her? I wonder if she even takes the time to read the files for which she rules on, she is not a good fit for Santa Clara County superior court Family division at all.
