This judge apparently works with corrupt attorneys to micromanage your life and strip you of your assets.

I recently found this article published in the Vanguard.

I thought she would be more fair given she is an underrepresented minority, but she was very biased. She was also unprepared for every hearing, she has an obsession with evil disney villains I KID YOU NOT, go read it on the “Daily Journal” (clear sign of mental illness). All you gotta do is look at her eyes to realize something is very wrong with her.

She really thinks she is there to be seen and the case is secondary to her appearance before the peasants. Behavior you would expect from a Jim Crow White judge in the south.

She is [Redacted by Ed.] and hates men UNLESS, your a woman and your lawyer [Redacted by Ed.] drag the case on so your lawyer can get paid more from you, in which case she will make it appear that she doesn’t like you or your lawyer.

Just a bad judge. Unprepared and lost.

I get it. When you don’t win you get angry. I can’t help but notice the racist undertones most of her reviews contain.
Get over it she is a black woman on the bench. If you don’t like it then( I will say what most of y’all say) go to another country!
She was a public defender you can’t get any better than that genius!

Read my post. She was FAIR and had zero tolerance for things not related to our daughter. I am trying to provide the best future for our daughter, not bicker and fight the other party. I do not want to waste time and resources the court provides, I am a fit father with no record and a great career. All I care about is the welfare of our child

Judge Flint saw this, and unlike other horror stories, I was granted fair custody and visitation rights over our daughter. FAIR is the key word. I understand other people have experienced differently, but I did not.

This a website to “judge the judges “ that’s what I did, based off of MY experience. All I care about is what’s best for my daughter. End of story.

CA53193-If she did everything for you, why do you miss her and why do you need to see more judges, "male father"-poster? Sound like a creepy insider attorney, and speak the way the LA "Nepo family court attorney troll" does when pushing down posts to deflect from posts relating to LA family court troll and their judge connections and troll writes posts various judges ..various counties...so read posts on other judges, under 53913...to see why troll pushes down posts.

Seems like I May be the only male that was happy with having Judge Andre Flint. I recently had a change of Judges, and I’m actually starting to miss her already. Judge Flint presented herself as firm, but fair. She listened to my position as an experienced father, and made it clear to the other party that I deserved every chance to be in my daughters life. She did not let the other party yell, screams, and make allegations without proof. Which the other party did every chance they got to speak. The other parties attorney was very animated and even judge flint told them “you will not be dragging him through the mud” . Judge Flint had every piece of information ready by the time we swore in, she made me feel like I had a good chance of my fair share. She granted Joint custody and gave me fair visitation. I was sad to appear in court and see Judge flint at her seat. I’m scared I may lose everything that I worked hard. The other party seems to be getting more and more comfortable with their typical behavior, I know judge Flint would have cracked down on it. I felt justice was present with Judge Flint

Judge Flint, If you read this. Thank you for listening to me and granting me shared custody of my daughter. Thank you for proving hard facts on why I deserved more visitation time. It has been hell since you left.

Send me your case number and your story - constantine.mars@gmail.com, let's make collaborative complaint to remove this [Redacted] from superior court with dishonors.

Flint made massive [Redacted] of court records, removed signed emergency screener recommendations, made intentionally harmful orders against minor child putting child in hands of violent abuser, facilitated international child abduction by mother-abuser with documented history of child and elderly abuse, and history of international child abduction, [Redacted] multiple court orders against evidence and witness statements, got caught on [Redacted] refused to recuse (CCP 170.1, 170.3) ten (10) times in a row despite obvious legal obligation to recuse themselves.

Flint has "connections" through members of BBMP in many places, and some corrupted organizations like DA office help to keep her in court because of her connections - but this [Redacted] must resign anyways.

Looking at comments below lots of children's lives were destroyed by her orders - if you are still in custody battle and feel hopeless - send me your case and story to constantine.mars@gmail.com, let's clean superior court from at least one more [Redacted] (google story of Towery who was kicked out with the scandal)

P.S.: As previous commenter said, if you just got started and see her name on your case - file CCP 170.6 immediately

Judge Flint sua sponte announced her intention to appoint minor’s counsel in my client's case, when no child custody litigation was pending before
her. As there was no child-custody litigation pending before Judge
Flint and the parties had resolved their differences on the underlying child custody issues this was strange. Judge Flint appears biased against men generally and fathers specifically. Judge Flint provides little or no legal reasoning, and at one hearing, threatening my client that she would modify child custody in a way he wouldn't like if he appealed her decision. Unprofessional. Avoid. 170.6 the moment you see her name on your case.

Judge Flint lied in court on record. She was running away from officer to avoid being served motion to recuse for cause.
When officer still served her, she then lied in court that she was not served, on the hearing the same day.
Judge ignored request to recuse in court and stated that this request will be heard by nobody - because she let go court reporter and request to recuse won't be on the record anyway.
Judge removed emergency screener recommendations without any explanation and refused to review evidences, making some nonsense orders, some of which are simply impossible to execute because they ignore facts and law.
Judge who is lying in the court and running away from officer is ridiculous and should not be judge at all.

I agree with most of the reviews expressed here about this judge. In my experience, Her rulings are biased and emotional. She makes up her mind from day one and closes her mind on the new evidence provided by other sources including CPS, psychotherapists, and even children's counsel that she herself has appointed. Children suffer as a result of her bias ruling and her lack of concern for their wellbeing. She has very little awareness and interest about the status of children's health, education, and general wellbeing under the supervision of the parent who first filed. She does not read the reports from school, letters of concerns from children's family therapists, and the conclusions reported by CPS. Her reputation among attorneys is that she "shoots from the hip" and "she does not do her homework." In my own personal experience, Andrea Flint's manners in the court are rude and offensive towards everyone. It is sad that in the democratic America, an unqualified judge such as Flint holds so much power and can ruin the lives of so many people.
Please remove this judge!

I read the other comments about Judge Flint. I agree. I found her to be unbudging in the light of evidence. I don't know how she could be a judge. Family court as a whole seems to be dysfunctional at best. Whoever files first wins it seems. The problem is kids suffer because one parent decides to be malicious and weaponize the court system. I do also sense a strong bias in her court against father's and men in general, it seems they are guilty until proven innocent simply because they are being accused by women. I wouldn't believe it until I saw it for myself. I saw my father jump through hoops to get normal visitation with us while my mother was not held accountable for her actions. She was making my dad drug test while she was using drugs and alcohol. She would only clean the house when she knew CPS was coming because my Dad called them. My mom caused me so much stress. At first I was so mad at my father because she told me horrible things about him. I found out she was lying and that her lawyer had told her to say those things. I went through therapy and am still going through therapy because of this whole thing. I wanted to be with my father but I couldn't because my mom had accused my Dad of domestic violence. I was too scared to come to court especially when I saw how all the fathers were treated. I felt like she wouldn't help me and I would have to deal with my mom's anger and resentment if she found out I didn't want to live with her. Since my parents got a divorce, I was able to leave my mom's and live with my Dad because I turned 18. I asked my mom why she is lying in court and she said because her lawyer told her if she didn't, she would lose me. I told her it's not fair. I love both of my parents and I hope to become a judge one day and be a good judge. I really don't like the way judge Flint talked to my Dad. I think she is a mean judge especially to Dad's.

This judge is an ex public defender of many years. She took the seat as judge in criminal court from the position of public defender. She was moved behind the scenes, to family court because she was incompetent and biased as a criminal judge. In family court here's how it goes..... If your a bad mother or good mother you will be pampered. If your a good Father or bad father, you will be treated like a bad father. Momma knows best in this court. I watched her advocate for bad mother's in their absence, telling dads to suck it up and do what's in the kids best interest. Then I watched her trash dad's that did not show up ("I didn't think he would show up"), when in fact he was there but didn't have his camera on. This judge has made up her mind before she has studied the case and any new evidence that goes against her conclusion is disregarded. If you look in the dictionary for the term "confirmation bias", she's there. Get out of her court at your first appearance or you will be stuck with her. She does not have the children's best interest in mind, she has her ego in mind and it will always come first. If Amber Heard was a judge. I warned you. This judge is basically what's wrong with the family court system encapsulated in a body. Children of good father's will have to suffer until judge Flintstone is forced to do what she should have done from the beginning, realize that moms are not default better parents. If you guys have a son, or brother, or male family member going through this, it's because of judges like Flintstone. You say no way she can just ignore all the evidence, sure she can, and she does, and she will. It's called confirmation bias, it's a real thing. Example: you believe Trump is the best president ever, any evidence to the contrary is automatically rejected as not credible and malicious. Here's another example: you believe Biden is the best president ever, any evidence to the contrary is automatically rejected as not credible and malicious. She doesn't come to conclusions based on evidence, she goes based on preconceived notions and then only accepts evidence that supports her conclusion. Run don't walk. I warned you. Good luck folks.

I thought at first she is professional and fair... then she said "you pay $1,000 a month for groceries? Is that not excessive"- I have a family and help an 89 year old lady on my street with food and supplies during COVID- sorry, I will not compromise my integrity and we live in the Bay Area- food costs more. She had nothing to say about the fact that my ex is driving a 100,000 G Wagen Benz while I drive an old truck! LMAO- fail... she then gave my ex MORE custody while she alienates the kids for cash allows them to not go to school in her care as an incentive to stay with her! Illegal but for Judge Flint- not a problem at all- we talk about the kids for 5 minutes and my expenses and how much more I can pay a terrible parent for 30 minutes- she got pushed around by a 100 year old attorney of my ex like he was the boss- yelling and making ungrounded accusations and running HER court room. It was the most embarrassing and sad display of injustice I have ever seen- I thought Judge Huber was terrible... not sure which is worse- stay out of that court room and away from lawyers- you will lose your kids, money and dignity.

I am not a criminal defense lawyer, I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and prospective juror. I spent time in the court room today and was able to witness the character of Judge Andrea E. Flint. Sadly, I was not impressed with the way that she carried herself, nor was I impressed with the lack of respect that she demonstrated towards me as a prospective juror. I would truly expect more empathy and kindness coming from someone who considers themselves to be honorable and represent our judicial system.
