| 125592 | Other | No Rating | We just concluded a civil suite where the Jury unequivocally voted in our favor (plaintiffs). The Judge then voted for the defendants using the "un-clean hands act" that had already been thwarted in trial. HIs reasons were illog...Read More | 02/29/2024 03:07 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 125131 | Prosecutor | View Details | Robert Dahlquist needs to be criminally investigated. The entire San Diego Superior Court and all its judges need to be investigated.

| 124057 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | As a Pro Se litigant, I think a third selection for "pro attorney" is needed. And I strongly suspect that the "pro attorney" would need further breakdown to "attorney friends" perhaps as well. Judge Dahlquist ignores glaring evide...Read More | 12/12/2023 08:37 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 124056 | Litigant | No Rating | These words came out of his mouth at trial; "Right now she (the person that sued us, drained our bank account for almost two years, then dropped her ridiculous case against us) has more standing than you because she had an attorne...Read More | 12/12/2023 08:06 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 119622 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Is pro-defendant and pro-male. If you're not one or both of these, 170.6 immediately. LDS judges, or just angry old men, should not receive this much power. Dahlquist obtained the position of judge by default. San Diego Superior C...Read More | 07/24/2023 11:03 AM | Contact reviewer |

| 109654 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | ~Judge Dahlquist needs to retire. He is the textbook example of crotchety old while male judge. He's misogynisitic.

| 68978 | Litigant | No Rating | Dahlquist makes Draconian look like a perfect angel. Due to Dahlquist getting reckless with his personal feelings, no justice came forth from Dahlquist’s ruling. | 05/12/2019 03:10 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 67780 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Judge Dahlquist makes the tough calls in his courtroom and obviously the loser will be unhappy. He doesn't set out with a predisposition and calls the balls and strikes according to the law and equity. | 04/10/2019 07:07 PM | Contact reviewer |

| 42563 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | The worst judge I have appeared before in 24 years. In our civil case he was clueless, defensive, irrational, biased.

| 39509 | Litigant | No Rating | He is biased, mostly in favor of male attorneys. He is outright rude to Pro. Per. litigants.

| 24671 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | This judge is very pro-defendant. If you are not a defendant, then beware.

| 21561 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | This judge did not allow all of our evidence, ignored questions from the jury, and ignored questions from us. Made more exceptions for the defendants. Looked disinterested in our case. Was not up on this type of case law. | 05/10/2013 09:29 AM | Contact reviewer |

| 8895 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | When he was in Family Court, he single-handedly caused the attorney fees in the case to double with rulings and judgments designed to prolong, rather than terminate the process. Maybe he didn't like the parties, but I would never...Read More | 09/16/2010 12:21 PM | Contact reviewer |
