I tried contacting Judge Sturgeon to let him know that my sealed file is being used without my consent and I got nothing but his se...Read More	03/12/2018 10:42 PM	Contact reviewer
47846	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	Doesn't read motions. Relies exclusively on clerk. Very patient. Is too involved in trial. Works hard, but not that intelligent. Sustains too many objections and the problem with that is it encourages more of the same. T...Read More	02/20/2017 09:03 PM	Contact reviewer
44997	Criminal Defense Lawyer	View Details	Great judge. Knows the rules of evidence. Very jovial but can and will make the tough decisions. I loved being in trial in front of this judge. A real pleasure.	08/26/2016 07:10 PM	Contact reviewer
40549	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	In many years of appearing before Judge Sturgeon, I can only recall once that I disagreed with his ruling (even though, lord knows, that was not the only time he ruled against me). Judge Sturgeon is smart, kind, professional and ...Read More	01/30/2016 12:12 AM	Contact reviewer

31726	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	Judge Sturgeon is extremely unintelligent and overreaches. He exercises jurisdiction where he has none and does not care.	12/16/2014 04:15 PM	Contact reviewer

25163	Litigant	No Rating	This judge leaned completely towards the plaintiff's side. He spent most of the trial browsing the Internet rather than listening to testimony. He constantly allowed references to issues already squelched through in limine motions...Read More	02/07/2014 06:44 PM	Contact reviewer
23484	Other	No Rating	I was very fortunate to have Judge Eddie C. Sturgeon as my judge. Although he sent me to jail 3 times, (first guy in 14 years to go to jail from civil court), he is very affirmative, honest, trustworthy and very intelligent. I ho...Read More	09/28/2013 01:43 PM	Contact reviewer
22406	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	Judge Sturgeon is, if anything, simply lazy. He rarely reads motions or briefs, doesn't bother with the elements of a claim, or sometimes with evidence. In three matters over two years he has expressed no interest in making a co...Read More	07/16/2013 01:46 AM	Contact reviewer

18842	Civil Litigation - Private	View Details	I have enormous respect for Judge Sturgeon. He has had the independent civil calendar for the past ten years or so in El Cajon. He consistently appears to be fair and unbiased. He is always prepared and usually has an accurate mem...Read More	11/28/2012 12:23 PM	Contact reviewer
