Jon R. Takasugi

Judge Takasugi does not follow the law. He ignores the law and makes up stuff. In my case he [Redacted by Ed.] and allowed the plaintiff to file a forged document that he knew was false. Judge Takasugi said (and I have certified transcripts of him saying) that the California Constitution does not apply to me. Openly, willfully and maliciously violated my constitutional rights and refuses to provide due process. Has illegally and unlawfully without due process evicted me from the home that I own as a tenant. Ordered my property and animals destroyed. It’s unbelievable what Judge Takasugi has done. I have filed a complaint with the presiding judge but was told they can’t change anything.

The worst of the worst. Should be removed from the bench and disbarred

Don't wait until it is too late. FILE YOUR PEREMPTORY CHALLENGE AT ONCE. Takasugi makes California judges look bad. His rulings are what he (or his research attorney) wants them to be, and are not in accordance with procedure and facts. He even makes slight omissions that at first glance seem accidental, but a closer look will show they are intentional to cover up his shortcomings. It would be of no surprise if under the table dealings comes to light for his department.

Completely biased and jumps to conclusions prior to hearing all of the facts. Unable to handle complex litigation.

Probably one of the worst judges. Very biased against plaintiffs. My biggest complaint is that he never seems to read the briefing - maybe only the first few pages of whatever the defendant writes. Doesn't seem to understand the law! Has anyone filed a judicial complaint? Or appealed any of his decisions?

Use your 170.6 plaintiffs. This man is against all plaintiffs’ cases. Defendants, thank the lord you have this judge, you’ll win.

Terrible judge. Just terrible. So pre-defense that any plaintiff in a case before him is at a severe disadvantage. He makes pro-defense rulings that are sometimes almost comical. Plaintiffs, DING this judge NOW. Or alternatively let him dismiss your very solid case on fundamentally-flawed and groundless reasons later.

One of the only judges that other lawyers openly praise after their case is finished. I heard several lawyers on other cases as I waited for my time.
