In the trial de novo, the judge was very biased, rude, and dismissed evidence before the defendant even presented their case. He was condescending and disrespectful. I felt almost like he had a personal bias towards me and he was complaining at me to the defendants lawyer. Going into this process, I had trusted the judicial process for a clear and straightforward case but this experience has taken away hope in the system. I had presented clear evidence in the case as the first case but the judge did not even calculate the damages and as a result there were still thousands in damages unaccounted for. He was extremely dismissive of my case and stated his biased opinion during the trial, siding with the other side before even questioning them or looking at their evidence. While the trial ran for a long time, he reprimanded me in front of everyone saying I wasted everyone's time even though I was just answering the questions and following the procedure of the judge.

I don’t usually write reviews, but this experience really upset me. This was my first time in court, and I genuinely believed the system would take my situation seriously and help protect me. That didn’t happen.

Completely biased / refused to consider all the evidence / had already predetermined his ruling via his bias before the case even started / unequal consideration to the plaintiff and ruling … made the situation worse for the plaintiff and their overall safety, well being and mental health / this judge should be removed from the bench and all of his cases should be reevaluated

This judge acted with complete bias during our appeals case. He was rude and short and did not follow proper procedures in handling what should have a been a trial de novo.

Displays open hostility toward litigants, yells during proceedings, and refuses to review evidence. Unprofessional, biased, and temperamentally unfit to serve as a judge. Undermines trust in the judicial system.

This judge’s behavior in court was unacceptable and deeply concerning. He displayed hostility, impatience, and an inflated ego that undermined his duty to act with fairness and neutrality. He repeatedly yelled at parties attempting to speak and failed to follow basic courtroom procedure. His defensiveness when questioned only highlighted how unreasonable his conduct was.

My disgust for this half wit is immense. He does not have the respect of other judges, litigants and other attorneys. His arrogance and his inability to hold attention for more than a one day trial makes him a liability on the bench. Unfortunately this idiot has been a blight on the San Diego legal scene for far too long. Arrogant, self serving, bigoted and a legislator from the bench, he is an embarrassment.

He is absolutely terrible.

He is absolutely terrible. He can not undestand and he does not have patience to undestand the concepts of different evidence. When he feels that you have the point he cuts you off. He protects the powfull from the troubles. He does not stand for working class. He is a shame. He puts me down as a working women, immigrant, and a Russian over a 52 years of age and a Plaintiff in Pro Per.

Longstreth is an embarrassment to the SD Superior Courts.

1.0

Longstreth is an embarrassment to the SD Superior Courts. Even post judgement, the judge underhandedly tried to diminish defendant’s award. He is unabashedly hostile to plaintiffs suing insurance companies, even to the point of cross examining witnesses, in efforts to maliciously insert false liabilities upon prevailing plaintiffs. Longstreth does not conceal his animus for demographics outside of the homogenous socioeconomic class that look like him! The jury, post judgement, declared him a bully, and were shocked at the protective orders he granted the corporate parasites that deployed the deny, delay depose antics in the PI claims!

This judge gets passed around from one department to another. The court never gets rid of bad judges making a reasonable person question if there is actually any justice in the judicial system when rotten judges such as Lonstreth are allowed to practice judicial misconduct. https://www.scribd.com/document/442867838/Formal-Judicial-Complaint-Against-Judge-Robert-Longstreth

There is not a more incompetent Jurist in San Diego. This Bozo is not a Judge, but a legislator, arbitrarily creating his own laws as he goes. I am truly surprised that more of his findings aren't overturned, but lack of capital appear to be the only reason why. This over the hill Bozo needs to reture ASAP!

As a long-time resident of San Diego, we were shocked and appalled at the biased, unprofessional, and disruptive behavior of Judge Longstreth during our trial. What we expected should have been a fairly simple small claims appeal case turned into a living nightmare. From the start, Judge Longstreth was unclear about how the trial would be run in his courtroom including the acceptance of exhibits and then proceeded to be rude and yelled at our lawyer when she tried to ask clarifying questions about his protocol for exhibits vs that of a standard trial. During the testimony, on multiple occasions, Judge Longstreth rudely interrupted my testimony response and went on a 2–3-minute rant, deviating from the subject and resulting in my loss of concentration and train of thought. During our trial with Judge Longstreth presiding, it appeared he had made up his mind within just a few minutes of the trial before even hearing all of the testimony and any cross-examination just by his behavior alone. How do you go from a winning judgment case to now it not even being considered a case ripe for trial, that is a very far stretch and change in direction. Should there be this extreme behavior and decision between two judges who were presented with the same evidence from both the Plaintiffs and Defendants just a mere 60 days apart? During investigation after the court proceedings with Judge Longsteth, we discovered he has a history and similar pattern of behavior and complaints of prejudice and being in favor of white privileged males.

48612 -What is wrong with you? He was awarded one million for the injury and not for his TIK Tock posts and it was a comparison of what other victims should receive, plus more, depending on injuries and damages; and was not referring this judge, who I said was smart to allegedly have a "short list of friends", as opposed to some LASC family judges, who use friends and drag them into their nepotism, lawlessness and abusive courtroom and trial, backroom tactics and abuse, grave damages against the attorney's/attorneys' opponent.

let's do the math, the bill will increase the top amount of awarded damages $250,000 starting January 2023 by $40,000 each year for 10 years top. So multiply $40,000 times 10 equals $400.00 Then add $250,000 to the $400,000 equals $650,000 S0 ten years from today the most a litigant can get in California is $650,000 Then on the first of January each year it is increased by 2% So let's do the math and see how many years over the 10 years will it take to reach the amount of the TOP damages to ONE MILLION dollars.

Comments critical of Judge Robert Longstreth on not based on TIK TOK short clips on TIK TOK are not credible and not based-on FACTS as I said the law is the law and in California there is a limit in damages that can be recovered. Yes, judges like Longstreth can give an award of ZILLIONS OF DOLLARS but this does not mean that the moving party with recover this amount. An appellate court will bounce the damages of ZILLIONS of dollars right back and those judges are admonished. On the other hand, as I said back alley deals with members of the secluded club are made all the time and these basically schemes generate big payouts for these clandestine judges and lawyers who are in the club. So, the comment can really apply to the person adding insults after insults because this is what happens in the courtroom of Judge Robert Longstreth. Judge Longstreth waits until all scheduled lawyers and cases are dismissed and then lays out the insults and verbal abuses, The comment below is a prime example of the abuse that goes on inside his courtroom. This is the language that Judge Longstreth uses including the repeated threat of sanction and degradation of the litigant before him,
