| 135087 | Other | View Details | Michelle Tong is biased against victims. Both hearings I had with her in small claims court, she started off by requesting donations to her campaign and asking people to vote for her.

| 134966 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Judge Tong was outwardly cruel to victims and clearly continued acting as a defense attorney for the alleged abusers.

| 133792 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Although intellectual competent, Judge Tong comes across as argumentative and unprofessional. I sat through multiple hearings before my matter was called. She was short tempered and combative with nearly every attorney. She was a...Read More | 08/12/2025 06:52 PM | Contact reviewer |

| 132227 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | Instead of continuing a case, judge Tong said that it was time to go to lunch and closed the case ruling against me and lying. | 04/11/2025 08:08 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 132226 | Litigant | No Rating | Judge Michelle Tong handled one of my Small Claims cases. She lied on her ruling, she shouted at me, twice, when I tried to defend myself, telling me to "be quiet". Then, when dismissing me from the court, I said she had not givin...Read More | 04/11/2025 08:04 PM | Contact reviewer |

| 129299 | Litigant | No Rating | I am so glad that Michelle Tong was moved out of family court into civil court. Something is seriously wrong with her.

| 128302 | Litigant | No Rating | Wholly lacking in judicial demeanor. Rude, impatient and ignorant. Train wreck. Ignores the evidence and goes her own way ... the wrong way. Stay away if possible. | 08/18/2024 12:49 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 128024 | Litigant | No Rating | received an unfair small claims decision from Judge Tong during the height of COVID-19.

| 127927 | Litigant | No Rating | Even I was surprised by how poorly Judge Tong treated my ex-wife. She took everything I asserted as the absolute truth and treated my ex like a pathological liar. It was very strange, almost surreal to see such sexist behavior. BT...Read More | 07/22/2024 05:19 PM | Contact reviewer |

| 126115 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | Judge Tong is smart, super-prepared and courteous to both sides. In more than 25 years of practicing law, she is one of the top 10 judges I have personally seen. | 04/02/2024 04:57 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 126050 | Litigant | No Rating | Biased, rude and clearly does not understand family law. I can not believe she is making decisions about the safety and well being of children. It is so scary. I truly wish action could be taken. | 03/29/2024 11:42 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 125974 | Litigant | No Rating | Judge Tong is the worst I have appeared before. Simply put, she is unprofessional in her demeanor.

| 117986 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | No Rating | Update: Her demeanor is now slowly moving into the acceptable category, but she has another deficit that should be gone by now - she lets pro pers go on indefinitely on irrelevant or marginal side issues. When handling a harass...Read More | 05/11/2023 09:33 AM | Contact reviewer |

| 116222 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Horrible judge. Stupid beyond belief.

| 115981 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | It is unusual for a newly appointed judge to be confused, defensive, rude and snappish, not to mention a tad closed-minded.

| 104748 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | She’s very rude and has an age full temperament. Why is it necessary to yell and be rude to litigants?
