Found the judge to be due diligent in reviewing all documents submitted for his review as well as personally checking the applicable case law presented. His handle on the trial proceedings displayed experience and the ability to maintain a professional decorum. He was open to the merit of both sides before expressing an opinion which one could see he tried to be fair both sides. But overall he would make a decision based on evidence that was overwhelmingly in support of the law.

From what little I've seen of Judge Grillo, he's okay by me. There are far worse judges on the Alameda County bench.

This Judge allowed the defendants in a case to defame me in open court. He sat there and said absolutely nothing to the parties involved and let them accuse me of everything without allowing any rebuttal on my part. I lodged a formal complaint against him with the presiding Judge. No action was taken based on my challenges.
