I am a proud minority woman immigrant from a war torn country.

I am a proud minority woman immigrant from a war torn country. I earned everything I have in this country over 15 years working hard! Now I got faced with a bad husband who tried to go against me and blow up our family and I see the reviews about Steckler are not good he is being against women and people of color! So how can I believe I am going to be treated fair at all? I make 50% more than this guy anyway - joke is on him! I have the right leave as soon as this crazy shamfull court gets out of my way and I will do just that!

Judge Steckler has poor temperament.

2.0
/ 5

Judge Steckler has poor temperament. He regularly raises his voice, shows his displeasure by using sarcasm or making faces, and is predisposed on the issues. He shows favoritism and in this case it was towards the man, against the woman. He does not follow the law but instead how he feels about a party. He favors an attorney over pro-se litigant and is not afraid to retaliate if someone stands up to him.

Stekler is an unfair judge who hates women.

4.0
/ 5

Stekler is an unfair judge who hates women. He is clearly biased, struggles to control his emotions, yells in court, and says mean things. If a woman presents evidence, he disregards it, but he will take a man’s word without question. Additionally, Stekler resigned from the criminal court in the past due to accusations of unfairness. There are several articles about it that are available online.

This judge has something against me and I'm not sure what it is.

This judge has something against me and I'm not sure what it is. He has granted my ex a DVRO with NO police report, evidence only based on his word and his best cousins falsified testimony against me. he even ordered I pay for something that I already paid for. I obtained new cousal and she even said, this judge has something agains you.... his whole demeanor was not to hear my counsal out, just said and what else what else. She mentioned he already had his mind set no matter what my attorney said. [Redacted by Ed.] My ex is an amazing con artist and this judge is also fooled. I now do not believe in our judicial system, it's nothing but a "good old boy" system even with proof! my faith is crushed and I can now see many others are as well :(

Unfair Judge.

4.0

Unfair Judge. Doesn't go by family code laws. He basis his decisions on emotion and feelings about the party and has a very retaliatory in conduct. I am going to complain to the Presiding Judge of Family Law who is his boss about him. He should be removed off the bench for misconduct.

Comments: Has Judge Steckler not heard about Family Code 3044.

Comments: Has Judge Steckler not heard about Family Code 3044. This is a serious topic and courts should be cautious about keeping victim's rights protected which he doesn't seem to care about. Also this Judge doesn't know about California Family Code 3026 that states that family reunification services cannot be ordered as part of a child custody or visitation rights proceeding. Did he even go to law school? He is putting domestic violence victims at risk. Doesn't matter if your male or female, a victim is a victim. Realize that! I think appealing his ruling would be easy since he doesn't rule based on law.

Andrew Steckler is biased anyway he doesn't like and will make certain they get punished even when his rulings are against the law. He is not an impartial Judge as a Judge is supposed to be. If you are not a white woman, then good luck to you since he only listens to white woman telling him what to do.

How is Andrew Steckler even a Judge?

4.0
/ 5

How is Andrew Steckler even a Judge? He is not a fair Judge. He doesn't read documents if you don't have a lawyer, he just goes by what the other party's lawyer says. How is this even okay or part of the justice system when all parties are not treated fairly? There needs be be judicial reviews of his cases and conduct. If you have no lawyer and the other side has is a liar then you are in deep trouble because this Judge can NOT tell good from bad or right from wrong. He will try and do very unlawful things to a person just to show his power. That is why he needs to get out of family law because he is ruining peoples lives. There should be a petition to get this guy out from destroying lives. View Detail

Judge Steckler has a bias against women/mothers and will take your child away without cause.

3.0

Judge Steckler has a bias against women/mothers and will take your child away without cause. He was already shown to have bias in a criminal case that he had to recuse himself. I consulted several attorney's that held this regard of him and it proved correct in my case.

Judge Andrew Steckler is not good Judge.

4.0
/ 5

Judge Andrew Steckler is not good Judge. He doesn't seem to know anything and is causing many families problems in family law. He should be removed from family law or go to traffic court instead to rule on simple parking violations so that he isn't ruining people's futures with his bad decisions. He is a terrible Judge and should be removed from Family Law like he was he was removed from Criminal Law.

I have heard this Judge in court and he seems to have no knowledge of law.

4.0
/ 5

I have heard this Judge in court and he seems to have no knowledge of law. I was present when there was this party and this judge was saying really rude things to him and the Judge didn't seem to be following the law, but just goes with what the lawyer he like wants and it usually a woman. It was weird because he doesn't know what right is and for a Judge to make decisions, they should know. Also, this other case, he was to provide a schedule for a party that lived out of states, even that was confusing and not feasible, but that was his ruling. Andrew Steckler should not be a family court Judge, he doesn't have the empathy or knowledge.

This person favors women and wears blinders, period.

This person favors women and wears blinders, period. Ive been in his courtroom for over a year now with no resolution in sight. Does not allow men to speak; shuts comments down. Was exploited today in the room by this judge. Currently trying to get him dismissed from my case.
