This man does NOT have the temperament to judge fairly. Regardless of the person’s profession when representing yourself in traffic court, he will reprimand the person for not knowing court proceedings and ultimately rule in favor of the other party out of spite no matter how strong your case is. “Honorable” is NOT an appropriate title for his unprofessional behavior when representing the judicial system.

This guy has no sense of reality. He tries to write supreme court length opinions on traffic tickets and has absolutely zero sense of reality. He's especially bad about misapplying legal concepts such as contract law to anything other than his own small view of the world and will leave everyone wanting to die just so they don't have to listen to his endless nonsensical rabble from behind the bench.

I'm baffled by the previous negative reviews of Judge Croy. I've observed his court several times and had two cases before him. On all occasions he was polite , fair, and was quick to suss out a liar. He didn't rush testimony, allowed everyone to speak and present evidence, and stuck to "just the facts."

This judge did not allow any input from the defendant. He refused to hear the defendant's side of the situation. I was there as a witness. This was a mockery of the judicial system. How sad. I believed that our system was fair, until today. Embarrassing!

I thought that a judge was supposed to be fair and hear both sides of a case. It was my first time in court, and it was very disappointing to discover that a judge can decide a case without allowing the facts to be presented, or even be asked for reasons to support his decision.

Agree with OK656. He doesn't care to take into consideration the law when making a decision. His outragous decision shocked the attorneys on both sides of the case. If judges have this much power to completely overide the law in their decisions, this country is already doomed. I have lost all faith in our legal system, and see no point in bringing any other issues to the court system, which has become just another bad joke.

A good, hard-working judge who reads the briefs and listens to testimony and argument.

Judge Croy is one of the laziest judges in Okla county. He doesn't know or care to know the law.

Because he does small claims cases, it's too friggin' expensive to appeal --- and he knows it -- so he abuses his power.

If Croy and Dan Owens weren't buddies, Croy wouldn't be on the bench. They are two of a kind --- immature abusers of power.

He reads and understands the briefs. He is not afraid to make the tough calls although it may take several hearings to do so. He will on occasion rule against a party who filed a motion for summary judgment even in the absence of response if the facts indicate that the Defendant is entitled to judgment. You better get your facts in the frist time.
