Mentor Municipal Court

"Judge Trebets is a horrible person. My fiancee and I had an issue with our dog and a verbal argument in May. Now he refuses to drop his unlawful no contact order ever upon her request. He forced her into a situation where she had to undergo surgery on her own without my help with our two toddler children. He is an awful man and deserves not on tittle of respect. His morales and values are just about the equilevant of a used bowel bag from a colon cancer patient. He is the Apex of what is wrong with this country. He should be disbarred and banned as a treasonist. He has placed unneeded financial burdens upon my family and now has cost more than could ever be recovered. John Trebets is not fair or equal. He only does as he wishes thinking his black robe makes him powerful when all is does is inflate his obtuse ego. Do not respect this man."

"Unfortunately myself and my husband and my boys have been in front of Judge Terbets one to many times and I’ve always thought ( my husband to) that he is a fair judge. He doesn’t give you a bunch of things to do you will fail. He makes things as easy as he can (sometimes it’s your own doing that you have a bunch of stuff you have to do). He wants people to get their license not make it hard on you so you can’t. He cares about the people and sometimes what he sentenced you to is probably for the best. He wants you to get clean and of course at that moment you hate him cuz you don’t want to go cuz you know your going to be sick. But in the long end Judge Terbets is a pretty fair Judge and unfortunately back in the day I’ve been in front of a handful. Thanks for your great service and for caring about the people that come before you."

"This judge is amazing! I went to court this morning and my experience was like no other. He is compassionate, understanding and most of all really wants to help. He is the best!!!! Thank you Judge!"

"Extremely bad experience. The clerks were quite rude and unsympathetic. Very little was actually explained, and they refused to accept my insurance as valid, despite it being so, and then took action against me doing so. Would definitely recommend replacing staff or extensive service training. To work with the public, and to be a menace, is only a perpetuation of the existing problems.with our current legal system. The rules in place are only against the poor when the punishment for a crime is a dollar amount."

"Website says they are open on Friday until 4pm, I did all of the running around I needed to do in order to get my car out of the impound only to come back to the court at 1:30pm to find out that they were closed for the day. I now have been put in a bigger financial bind due to this matter."
