Judge Andrea E. Flint

Judge Andrea E. Flint sits on the Santa Clara Superior Court and has been publicly associated with at least one high-profile criminal matter: a San Jose gang murder case in which two defendants, identified in press coverage by the monikers 'Stomper' and 'Boxer,' were convicted of a brutal murder (The Mercury News, December 2016). This case reflects exposure to serious violent felony proceedings, including gang-related criminal conduct under California Penal Code gang enhancement statutes. Beyond this documented criminal matter and a mention in a June 2024 Daily Journal article, the available public record does not contain additional verified case history, ruling analyses, or attorney observations. Given the limited data available, attorneys should approach preparation for appearances before Judge Flint with the understanding that the primary confirmed subject-matter exposure on record is serious violent criminal litigation in Santa Clara County. No civil, family law, or other subject-matter patterns can be confirmed from the available data. Attorneys should not assume familiarity with any particular practice area beyond what is documented here. Because no ruling analyses, attorney observations, or ingested content are available, this profile reflects a minimal verified data set. The guidance below is grounded exclusively in the confirmed public record and should be supplemented with direct courthouse research, clerk inquiries, and peer attorney consultation before any appearance.

The only confirmed substantive case on record for Judge Flint is a gang murder prosecution resulting in conviction. Attorneys appearing in criminal matters — particularly those involving gang allegations, violent felonies, or complex evidentiary records — should be prepared for a judge with documented exposure to the procedural and evidentiary demands of serious felony trials. This includes gang enhancement evidence, witness credibility issues, and potentially lengthy jury proceedings. Because no civil rulings, motion practice patterns, or procedural preferences have been documented in the available data, attorneys in non-criminal matters cannot draw on this profile for subject-matter-specific tactics. In the absence of ruling data, the safest approach is to prepare thorough, well-organized briefs with clear citations to controlling California authority, and to be prepared to address factual records in detail. Attorneys should conduct independent research through Santa Clara Superior Court's public docket, the Daily Journal (which referenced Judge Flint in June 2024), and direct inquiry with the clerk's office to identify any standing orders, local rules preferences, or courtroom protocols specific to Judge Flint's department before any appearance.
