| 135375 | Other | View Details | How does the presiding judge allow this judge to steamroll so many people's rights? She is completely unfit.

| 132298 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | In our experience, Emma Castro is about as [Redacted by Ed.] prejudiced, biased, and unhinged as a “judge” can get (for a Commissioner - who is just a court employee NOT an elected judge).

| 128599 | Court Staff | No Rating | Re last post. She is a Commissioner, not a Judge. A Commissioner can be an active member of the State Bar, if they want to. It is optional. Oh, by the way, she is not a very good one. | 09/08/2024 10:03 PM | Contact reviewer |

| 125680 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Commissioner Castro is untethered from legal precedent.
