| 135232 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | One of the worse judges. it doesn't seem that she writes the tentatives and does not even review them before she takes the bench. Seems like she is simply reading off a document someone else drafted. Will not post tentatives, ever...Read More | 02/23/2026 10:03 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 116968 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | Pre-judges cases without getting the facts presented. Can't differentiate between an allegation and a proven fact. Minimal understanding of basic legal principles. Terrible reasoning. Easily tricked. Cannot change her mind or a...Read More | 03/26/2023 01:31 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 103342 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | It's almost as if she's trying to see how awful she can be before the Judicial Council gets involved. Rude, terribly biased against civil defendants, and the temperament of a deposed dictator. I watched her berate a member of he...Read More | 03/09/2022 02:33 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 72488 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Worse judge I have ever dealt with. She is obnoxious, does not review anything, ignores the law, and does not let you speak. Does not deserve to be a judge. She is not bias, she just does not care. | 07/14/2019 11:16 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 60505 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | I have found Judge Deason to be a very fair judge though she does not rule in my client's favor many times, she does know the laws and rules accordingly. I have not found her to be bias. I have found she is no nonsense judge, sav...Read More | 10/12/2018 01:47 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 59314 | Litigant | No Rating | RUN, do not walk, away from this "judge" if she is yours. Susan Bryant Deason has made up her mind before the first word has been spoken. She overlooked every aspect of the case and clearly sided from beginning to end with the o...Read More | 09/04/2018 11:19 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 52844 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Judge Bryant-Deason is, in my opinion, the most biased trial judge I've ever witnessed in action. She regularly treats plaintiffs' lawyers with pleasantries and favorable rulings; and almost always, in my observation, treats defe...Read More | 11/27/2017 12:21 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 50347 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Defendant does not show up for the CMC, instead of scheduling an OSC for sanctions for defendant, this judge schedules an OSC to dismiss plaintiff's case. FYI: Do not ask for priority, even if your mother is dying, because this ju...Read More | 06/27/2017 10:22 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 49286 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | NO JUSTICE REFUSES TO LOOK AT THE FACTS OF THE CASE ,CANNOT SEE THROUGH THE DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER AND MAKES HER DECSION ON WHO BRINGS FRAUD UPON THE COURT ,ALLOWS DEFAULTS AND JUDGEMENTS WITHOUT PROPER SERVICE SIGNS ANYTHING THE...Read More | 05/04/2017 04:18 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 49285 | Other | No Rating | Judge Susuan Bryant Deason is bias ,prejudice and allows her favorite party to violate rules of court and state and federal laws, NO due process in her court ,in my case she awarded a judgement to the attorneys who said we meet an...Read More | 05/04/2017 04:00 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 49213 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | 170.6. Too unpredictable to trust with your case. Rules based on her emotional reaction to the issue or the personalities and bends over backwards for the attorneys she "likes." Probably not "stupid," but has long since quit usi...Read More | 04/29/2017 02:42 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 45265 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Erratic, rude, demeaning | 09/09/2016 06:18 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 45223 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | As a witness in a civil litigation, I was shocked at the bias of this judge and how she ran her court. She allowed Plaintiff's attorney to bully witnesses, testify to the jury and generally abuse opposing counsel. A true disappo...Read More | 09/07/2016 12:37 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 45168 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | Ignored the statute of limitations because "it wouldn't be fair". Talked down to immigrant defendants and threatened with deportation possibility -- in a business litigation matter! Appointed a receiver over the objection of both ...Read More | 09/05/2016 02:44 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 43785 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | There is no question that Judge Bryant-Deason does not tolerate name-calling between counsel. My first appearance I saw it from the gallery and learned quickly. That others can't figure that basic adaptation out is inexplicable. S...Read More | 06/17/2016 06:45 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 43774 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | This woman has no business being on the bench. I've found her to be imperious, vindictive, mean spirited, abusive to counsel, rude, unfair, and willing to ignore black letter law. She seems to pick a side early, and God help you...Read More | 06/17/2016 05:42 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 42128 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | I've had two case with her. In both cases she wanted a detailed recitation of the facts, so be prepared to discuss your case with facts and dates. She waffles a bit, and I've seen her reverse herself on really good tentative r...Read More | 04/19/2016 07:23 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 34708 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Judge Bryan is AWFUL. She rarely reads the papers submitted and then admits to it on the record. Instead, she rules as she "sees fit" based on what she thinks of the case. I went into her courtroom one day after calendar to drop o...Read More | 05/11/2015 11:56 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 33961 | Court Staff | No Rating | Anyone who has ever worked for her knows she is blinded by her biases. Should not be a judge. She eats her own. Seems to hate her job. She fires her staff and blames the budget - then rehires her favorites. She doesn't follow...Read More | 04/11/2015 03:17 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 32159 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | I have read all of the negative remarks about Judge Bryant-Deason and had to chime in. If you are prepared, well-briefed, and able to discuss the facts and the law with knowledge and confidence, there are few better judges than J...Read More | 01/07/2015 01:41 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 31366 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Has no business sitting as a judge. Biased from outset of case if she has past relationship with one of the attorneys. In chambers, and when off the record will make snide, degrading comments to and about attorneys. PATHETIC. | 12/03/2014 02:06 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 29317 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | If, in all of your years as an experienced litigator, you have never seen a rude and condescending judge sit on the bench...step into Bryant-Deason's courtroom. She loves talking down to attorneys - it makes her feel much better a...Read More | 09/07/2014 09:15 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 24669 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Judge Bryant-Deason is without a doubt the rudest judge that I have seen in 36 years of practice. Her biases will become readily apparent almost immediately. I will normally not use a 170.6 on a mean, nasty judge who is smart and ...Read More | 12/19/2013 04:56 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 24320 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | I had a civil case with her. We made a stip to go to binding arbitration. She refused to sign it. We settled so as to not have to deal with her. The only good thing that I can see is that when one of the defendants deposited money...Read More | 11/21/2013 04:43 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 24186 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | I would have given her all zeroes if it had been possible. She is absolutely the worse judge that I have ever appeared before in 28 years of practice. She mocked me ("Don't you know the law?") even though she was absolutely wrong...Read More | 11/12/2013 06:07 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 23096 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | This judge is bad news. She made up her mind in favor of the plaintiff and made it clear to the litigants and the jury how she felt. We were able to defend the case (a trumped-up minor incident turned into a major incident), despi...Read More | 08/29/2013 07:47 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 20125 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | She is the worst judge I've ever encountered. A rude, mean, biased, awful judge. | 02/15/2013 11:18 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 20123 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Truly awful, biased and unfair. Blatantly so. | 02/15/2013 10:44 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 17454 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Hard working and cares about "getting it right." She often gets it wrong, however. She is equally surley, condescending and disrespectful to litigants and attorneys from both sides. Maintains complete control of the court, even ...Read More | 09/17/2012 07:45 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 17010 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Overall, I find this woman disrespectful and apparently mad at the world with her high and mighty attitude. In my 4 years of practice, I have NEVER been spoken to in such a manner. I am a female attorney and did not want to believ...Read More | 08/24/2012 02:48 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 15662 | Other | No Rating | A disgrace to the bench. A disrespectful egomaniac. | 06/21/2012 12:47 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 10723 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Seems pre-disposed, oddly enough, against female attorneys. I've appeared before her, and (of course) have sat through her calendars waiting my turn - and it seems to be her tendency to disfavor women and favor men. In fact, she...Read More | 05/12/2011 01:45 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 10656 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Slightly idiosyncratic personality. Has her likes and dislikes. Don't call her 'Judge' say 'Your Honor'; and don't use the word 'Yeah' instead of 'Yes'. | 05/04/2011 05:45 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 9838 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Hm. Maybe it's because she liked me that I thought she was fair. But she lectured me on doing something against local rules, and I still think she was impartial, logical and smart. | 01/26/2011 10:58 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 9055 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | She rules in favor of who she likes, regardless of the law. If she likes you or dislikes your opposition, great. If not, 170.6 for sure. | 09/30/2010 03:37 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 9035 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Thinks she is God | 09/29/2010 10:41 AM | Contact reviewer |
