Rolf Michael Treu

this judge is a joke. he grants sanctions on discovery notwithstanding lack of notice. he sanctioned the party on procedural matters- that is never done. and he refused to hear any arguments on sanctions on day of hearing. just cut me off. what a joke.

Absolutely useless judge. They guy [redacted by Ed.] and is miserable to be a judge. He doesn't conduct things fairly or even follow the rules of court. These are the kind of judges that get children killed in domestic violence situations. If my children are harmed by the other party, the blood is on the courts hands for even allowing someone who can't even hear what you are saying or even see the evidence for that matter. Nothing in my declaration was looked at by the judge or even read, he didn't even make an attempt. The courts in Los Angeles are some of the most corrupt and they move judges constantly to protect them from all the corruption that continues in these courts. Judges like this are the reason innocent children loose their lives everyday.

Rude solely for the sake of being rude. Loves to grandstand and punish attorneys for no reason. Will talk over attorneys and accuse them of talking over him. Won't even acknowledge arguments that make perfect sense. Itching to sanction left and right. Please stay away from this guy to preserve your own mental health.

mean. loves to show up attorneys. won't let anyone speak. unbelievably rude. stay away if you can.

Semi-divorced from reality. Cranky, nasty. Worst judge I have been in front of in LA.

This is the first time that I have been moved to fill out a rating on a judge. Judge Treu was covering the calendar for another judge assigned to our case. He was rude and mean when I attempted to speak. The hearing was held by CourtCall video, and CourtCall was down until just before the start time of 10 am. The clerk informed him that they had audio only, although the rest of us had both video and audio. He was cranky, nasty and mean. He accused me of interrupting after I asked to speak. Imperiously said I should wait until he asked if any of us wanted to address the Court. Hard for us to tell when he was finished speaking since he wasn't on camera, but he didn't take that into account at all. He wasn't prepared --he didn't know that there was a Case Management Conference, which was the main reason for our appearance, in addition to the Order to Show Cause for sanctions that was on calendar for the Defendant's non-appearance at the last 2 CMCs. I was trying to bring him up to speed on the history of the last 2 failures to appear and the case law which permits the Judge to dismiss or default the corporate party who cannot appear pro per. He was just rude and nasty in the way he addressed me. I have practiced law for over 35 years, and he struck me as one of the most unpleasant and unnecessarily rude Judges I have appeared before. It is too soon to assess his other abilities or lack thereof, but based on his demeanor, I would speculate that he is not too bright, and was unprepared for the calendar. Therefore, would recommend avoiding him if you can, and/or 170.6 him. He should be retired.

One of the cruelest judge whom u can see in family courts. Absolutely biased, cranky and perception based judge. I lost my mother due to this judge. He has blood on his hands. I pray God punish him the same way in hell

One of the worse experiences I have had in front of a judge in the 25 years of practice. He will not allow you to put on your case. His thinking is antiquated and he needs to retire. I will paper him if he is still on the bench and I get sent to his department. I very unpleasant judge to appear before.
