Armen Tamzarian

Unfortunately, this Judge is extremely biased. He oversees eviction cases and erroneously jumps to the conclusion that "if" a landlord brings a tenant to court, then "of course" the landlord has a just case. Most tenants do not have the ability and the means to defend themselves or hire attorneys, that puts them at a great disadvantage, one that Tamzarian exploits. To add insult to injury, he also has a very short temper and condescending manner. He tends to scream at people quit a bit, and at the end of the hearing, he offers no time for platitude and arrogantly dismisses the "minions" with a condescending "have a lovely day." Lastly, he admittedly states that "court filings" are a "black hole." He doesn't read them. This is evident as his rulings are often emotional, not based on law, which he doesn't appear to be saavy on. If you have the opportunity, you would be better off getting a new judge if you're a tenant. If you're a landlord, you'll love him.

He doesn't understand basic real estate law and is VERY arrogant, which amounts to a judge that is wrong many times on straightforward issues but won't change his incorrect opinions. You'll need to be patient with him and teach him the law as if he is a student. Quite sad for a Superior Court Judge. I believe he is dangerous due to his lack of basic knowledge, which causes parties to spend unnecessary funds drafting motion after motion and attending hearing after hearing to correct his mistakes. I would not allow him to preside over any case that I represent in the future. This is the first judge that I've left a review for. I felt it necessary because I've been in his courtroom for quite a while now and know him relatively well as a judge. My review is based on real estate law matters. I have no experience with him otherwise; however, I have observed him argue with counsels in other matters where he advanced clearly incorrect statements of the law regarding basic civil procedure. This review and rating is an honest assessment and not made out of spite or anger. Beware.

Arrogant, unprepared, and ignorant of the law. Admitted that he did not understand basic concepts of real property law, but did not bother to do any research. Makes up his mind without an understanding of the law.

Arrogant beyond belief, condescending, patronizing; was wrong about so much of the law but does not bother to question his wrong opinions. Literally got an order completely wrong that cost me thousands. A joke of a judge and person.
