| 129829 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Rude solely for the sake of being rude. Loves to grandstand and punish attorneys for no reason.

| 121256 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | This is the first time that I have been moved to fill out a rating on a judge. Judge Treu was covering the calendar for another judge assigned to our case. He was rude and mean when I attempted to speak. The hearing was held by Co...Read More | 10/13/2023 03:46 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 104869 | Litigant | No Rating | One of the cruelest judge whom u can see in family courts. Absolutely biased, cranky and perception based judge. I lost my mother due to this judge. He has blood on his hands. I pray God punish him the same way in hell | 05/13/2022 08:43 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 101219 | Other | No Rating | One of the worse experiences I have had in front of a judge in the 25 years of practice. He will not allow you to put on your case. His thinking is antiquated and he needs to retire. I will paper him if he is still on the bench...Read More | 12/09/2021 03:51 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 77401 | Litigant | No Rating | Judge Treu had the attorneys write his order, based on a 10-minute statement from each attorney regarding custody, and then wrote a minute order instead of delivering his decision in open court where it could be rebutted, and held...Read More | 10/09/2019 05:34 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 68922 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | This is in a CLETs hearing which was based on a property line dispute. He seemed a little cranky, but not unreasonably so. Once the cross examination of the petitioner's only witness, he stopped the cross examination recognizing...Read More | 05/11/2019 02:12 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 66483 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Something is very wrong with Judge Treu. He is getting to be really cranky. Maybe it is time for him to retire. I don't know who gave him a ten-star rating. It must be someone who unfairly received a favorable result. I agree...Read More | 03/08/2019 01:57 PM | Contact reviewer |

| 64893 | Other | No Rating | Fair, dedicated, harnessed by delays and the system’s linear appeal but a man of credamce, careful constitutional and orders from his bence are heart felt in the chambers where witnesses are seated. I personally am ever grateful f...Read More | 02/07/2019 11:23 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 50349 | Litigant | No Rating | Treu's lack of knowledge on Family Law is only exceeded by his high opinion of himself. His rulings are made with disregard to statue. It is very frustrating to be before him. He has no patience and does not listen to argument, ...Read More | 06/28/2017 09:31 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 49303 | Litigant | No Rating | DO I THINK JUDGE TREU READ ANY OF MY DOCUMENTS? From what he said in court, no, but I can’t say for sure. I do think that not allowing me to file a rebuttal to my ex’s rebuttal (received Friday night for a Tuesday hearing) was a...Read More | 05/04/2017 10:10 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 46651 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Seems only interested in getting done his calendar as quickly as possible. Will hold it against you if you dare call a witness or try and present evidence as that may mean he may have to push back his tee time. Cruel. Punitive....Read More | 12/08/2016 01:17 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 42013 | Litigant | No Rating | This judge is very no nonsense and quick to impose sanctions. That would be a real asset if he were familiar with family law. Unfortunately Judge Treu does not know family law and to make matters far worse he does not familiariz...Read More | 04/14/2016 03:15 PM | Contact reviewer |

| 41114 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | What an uncomfortable experience it is to be in front of this judge. He seems to like the power and ability to vent and be short tempered and nasty. The only reason not to 170.6 him is because sadly there are a couple of worse ju...Read More | 02/26/2016 06:50 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 39848 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Bad judge. Vindictive, unreasonable, abusive. He likes to sanction attorneys for procedural matters, big and small. Seems to know procedure (at least in terms of sanctioning), but not very good at the merits of things and legal ...Read More | 12/30/2015 07:48 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 38676 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | A maniac who should not be allowed around other people let alone allowed to sit on the bench. He truly hates all people who appear in his courtroom (attorneys, witnesses, etc.). | 11/04/2015 12:27 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 37033 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Very sharp judge who does his homework on the law. EXTREMELY punctual - he starts at 8:30 sharp and if you're going to be late, call the clerk no later than 8:20. Watch out for the meet and confer requirement for CMS - he will s...Read More | 08/20/2015 03:48 PM | Contact reviewer |

| 32674 | Civil Litigation - Private | No Rating | I have appeared before Judge Treu at least twice, and, on both occasions, it was a very unpleasant experience. When communicating with attorneys, he is both rude and condescending. He is anal retentive when it comes to complying w...Read More | 01/30/2015 01:51 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 32531 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | He's a petty little man when it comes to sanctions, actually he's a jerk when it comes to sanctions. He's the .01 percent of the bench who will sanction attorneys for some infraction, real or perceived, where the other 99.9 perce...Read More | 01/23/2015 06:43 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 29535 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Judge Treau is decisive, strict, has limited patience, does not suffer fools, expects lawyers to comply with rules, and is serious as a heart attack.

| 29421 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | It is pure misery to be in this judge's courtroom. You cannot whisper, you cannot say anything more than yes or no depending on his mood. Sometimes he will talk to his staff while you are addressing him. If you ask the staff what ...Read More | 09/13/2014 12:03 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 28937 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Some of the reviews on this guy's page make me really wish they had moderators to delete comments made by non-attorneys...ESPECIALLY people who have never appeared before the judge. It completely takes the point out of this websi...Read More | 08/22/2014 01:02 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 28274 | Civil Litigation - Private | No Rating | Thank you Judge Treu. The unions have destroyed Calif. The majority of teachers are worthless and cannot "instruct." The charters apparently came to save the day. The schools should be teaching many of the students a trade not how...Read More | 07/23/2014 09:13 AM | Contact reviewer |
| 28103 | Other | No Rating | There are several factors that affect student achievement. To conclude that tenure is the cause of student failure is illogical. Strongly disagree with Judge Treu's ruling. | 07/15/2014 06:44 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 27514 | Other | No Rating | I taught in the California University system for 34 years and have seen that many "teachers" have been awarded tenure because of their ability to bring in funding for research projects. I have also seen that after being awarded t...Read More | 06/18/2014 08:24 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 27499 | Other | No Rating | Judge Treu's astonishing argument in the Vergara case contains "thinking" that would be laughed out of Logic 101 at the community college level. By an of several reliable estimates, the number of incompetent teachers is between 1...Read More | 06/17/2014 02:03 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 27460 | Other | No Rating | My brother retired as a teacher after many years of dedicated work. He was able to retire because the unions were there for him. Unions built the middle class. It is the unions job to protect teachers. Whether the tenure laws ...Read More | 06/13/2014 06:14 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 27415 | Other | No Rating | Now there is no incentive for intelligent and talented people to be teachers. Let's hold hands and celebrate the Death Blow to Education (DBE) in California. The students in poor communities have poor education because very few g...Read More | 06/11/2014 04:10 PM | Contact reviewer |

| 27406 | Other | No Rating | Finally someone has the balls to attempt to eliminate tenure. My hat is off to you! | 06/10/2014 09:49 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 27397 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | No Rating | Thank God, you are a judge with GREAT understanding and you are to be commended for your ruling. If I lived near I'd pin a star on you.

| 27396 | Litigant | No Rating | First off, due process rights should belong to all people. Secondly, school administrations have every right and responsibility to dismiss ineffective teachers. Tenure status does not guarantee that the ineffective cannot be fired...Read More | 06/10/2014 06:28 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 27394 | Prosecutor | View Details | Shoddy work. Biased rulings. Will almost always favor those with money, connections and conservative politics. It's a disgrace that Judge Rolf Treu is even on the bench. Right-wingers will continue to seek him out and hope that ...Read More | 06/10/2014 04:55 PM | Contact reviewer |

| 27287 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | This is a judge I would absolutely 170.6 if I got assigned to him again.

| 26578 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | This judge is vindictive and eager to issue sanctions. I've been in his courtroom on a number of matters, and rarely does a morning calendar happen without at least three parties being sanctioned. He is a blight on the judicial sy...Read More | 04/19/2014 02:15 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 26416 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Disaster. Didn't read the papers or if he did, failed to understand them. | 04/08/2014 10:01 PM | Contact reviewer |

| 22917 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Judge Treu is a very hard-working jurist who reads the papers carefully, analyzes issues in well-written tentatives, and most importantly, follows the law. He is stern and has high standards, especially on Civil Procedure and Cal...Read More | 08/19/2013 05:14 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 20635 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | An intelligent jurist. If you follow the Code of Civil Procedure and the California Rules of Court, you will be fine in this courtroom. Make sure you actually meet and confer before you file your CMC statement. At summary judgm...Read More | 03/19/2013 05:06 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 19706 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | Judge Treu knows the Code of Civil Procedure and Court Rules by heart, and expects everyone else to know them equally well. He lives to find breaches of the rules, and will issue monetary sanctions for any violation, no matter ho...Read More | 01/23/2013 04:50 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 18364 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | I wouldn't go so far as to paper Judge Treu (because you could do much worse in Central), but he's FAR too strict. Judges like this make being an attorney suck. I think these types of judges either never practiced, or have forgo...Read More | 11/02/2012 05:39 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 17921 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | difficult, inflexible, predisposed to use rules to deny relief rather than address merits, definitely not user friendly nor does he appear interested in being user friendly | 10/10/2012 05:40 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 12823 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | He is probably 170.6 worhty if there weren't so many other horrible judges in Central. He has a nasty disposition and he is petty. If you can get past that, he is an average judge. | 01/05/2012 07:32 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 6754 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Obey every punctilio of the rules/code and you will be okay with this very competent judge, but watch out - he loves to issue $anction$. | 03/03/2010 07:39 PM | Contact reviewer |
