This dude has racist written all over him.
While being a judge he made all of his decisions based on who he liked and his outcomes had nothing to do with the letter of the law.
It's ironic that he's now running a business, considering he failed miserably with his law firm before becoming a judge. Looks like being a judge works for most of the losers like this guy.
He and his business need to be avoided as a plague!

almost 200 years ago John Emerich said following:
power tends to corrupt, absolute power corrupts absolutely.
this statement was made about and fits rosen 100%.

[Redacted by Ed. the comments below are mostly true although i feel some failing short of describing his true nature. Since he retired, he lost the ability to destroy more children and families but for someone in my shoes sadly it's too little too late.

rosen now opened a mediation business charging thousands of dollars. i wish him to go out of business as neither him or his advice ain't worth a dime!

rosen blatantly disregarded all the case facts and delivered a verdict that was a flagrant distortion of the truth.
He then craftily obscured his actions, sabotaging any chances of a fair appeal. [Redacted by Ed.]

Like many others, I've endured the most appalling experience with this bigot. It's astounding how king county in WA harbors virulent racists like rosen and the newly elected j.halloway, who is evidently devoid of both intellect and the ethical fiber required for judicial responsibilities.

I agree with comments below. he is the reason i am being abused by the system today and for years to come, most difficult part is that I lost my children.

rosen should never have been a judge. Horrible man with attitude towards immigrant fathers is to destroy a father at any cost.
sadly, he seem to be enjoying the process or ruing someone's life and destroying children in the process.

If you ever read this rosen here is my message to you: [Redacted by Ed.] You belong in prison for what you did to me as a father and to my children!

you are the reason families are being destroyed!
my wish for you is to go through what my children and i are going through because of you!

dishonorable, now retired rosen used to be a real estate agent and failed that.
Started a law firm and failed that. This is when this historical loser ended up being a judge. Great job king county for hiring this caliber of "lost and found".
Arrogant and entirely clueless about child's psychology, most importantly never cares about destroying children.
Ignores any professional recommendation including children doctors, therapists, GAL and others. Cleaver cheat who will play the law to cover up his obvious racist views towards immigrants especially fathers. Absolutely biased, hates and despises anyone who's not white, corrupt and biased in his decision making. Parasite of the society with sick habit to abuse his power! Thank God, he now retired!
He's ready to have a comfortable life after destroying so many innocent families and children. It's funny that in the description of his mediation practice he claims that courts are not the place to resolve disputes...
What he omits to admit is that courts are not the place because of blood-sucking dissolutes like him! This is why family law justice doesn't exist and won't be here until judges are hold legally and criminally liable for their deeds!

Extremely biased, racist, sexist, horrible human being who separated a child from a loving mother who is legally abused by narcissistic ex for years. Now Rosen started a mediation service, someone please stop this man to destroy people’s lives!!

If I could give him zero stars that is what he deserves! Judge Rosen certainly has not earned the title of honorable before his name. [Redacted by Ed.] As others have said he retains jurisdiction of cases that he picks and chooses his personal biases over and takes them with him even after he is rotated off the family law bench. Facts and evidence laid out before him are thrown aside and his own opinions replaced when he makes decisions. [Redacted by Ed.] The child welfare system supports keeping families together, Rosen supports pulling them apart. The trauma and impact this will cause to the child(ren) having lasting effects that historically repeat cycles of family dysfunction and violence. Rosen has no awareness on child development. He is biased towards any mother with, or with histories of, disabilities, mental illness or substance use (even if treated/in remission), lower incomes and anything else he can possibly find to see you as a lower human being. He puts father's on a pedestal even if they have been physically and/or emotionally abusive. [Redacted by Ed.] . I hope some attorney, public official or media outlet brings attention to this horrendous judge who was only elected by default not because the public chose him.

I don't know how people earn a seat as a judge, but judge rosen is a literal shitty judge if he worked any other job, he'd be fired in an instant.

His biases, ego and ignorances are the key drive. He plays God and gains a lot of satisfaction in the power he holds over children and their families. rosen will twist the law in the way that no one else does! He is a criminal occupying a bench destroying children and parents along the way.

Comment #: WA2117
Rating:1.0

Comments:
Steven Rosen is extremely biased and participates in the continuation of abuse of parties through abusive litigation, turning a blind eye to stalking, physical abuse, and even child rape documented by authorities. He does not act in child’s best interest, ignores facts, and takes extreme actions that cause and perpetuate serious harm. He violates statutory law and engages in a disturbing pattern of retaining jurisdiction in many of his cases. He is not domestic violence in formed, does not follow DV laws, and is not motivated to protect the children and families coming before him in his court. His personal biases and ignorances lead him to cause harm. He feels very justified and gains a lot of satisfaction in the power he holds over children and their families. He is not informed about child development. He does not hold attorneys accountable for unethical or bad behavior. And more.

This judge likes to practice family law his own way. He picks and choses cases to follow. His biases towards women are very apparent and cloud his ability to see what truly is happening in a case where DV is ongoing. He does not serve this bench well in protecting children or mother's from abusive former partners. He'd do well by others to take more courses on what DV looks like after the parties have ended their formal relationship.
