FORT WAYNE, Ind. – Allen Superior Court Judge Andrea Trevino will resign from her position in September as she prepares to transition into the private sector. Trevino has dedicated over ten years to public service within the county’s judiciary, serving as both a magistrate and a judge.
Appointed a magistrate in 2013 by former Judge Thomas J. Felts, Trevino has focused much of her career on championing the wellbeing of families and children in Allen County. Felts remarked on her commitment, highlighting that her work has been driven by a desire to make a positive impact on the community.
Trevino has formally notified Indiana Supreme Court Chief Justice Loretta Rush and Governor Mike Braun about her upcoming departure. Her successor, who will take over the remainder of her term ending on December 31, 2026, will be chosen by Braun from candidates recommended by the Allen County Judicial Nominating Commission.
Expressing her gratitude, Trevino reflected on her experiences on the bench and her commitment to supporting families and youth. Her last day in the role will be September 23. “I leave knowing I have put my whole heart and energies into helping facilitate better familial relationships and futures for the children in our community,” she stated.
Since her appointment as a judge by former Governor Eric Holcomb in 2018, Trevino has supervised the Allen County Juvenile Center, prioritizing community partnerships, student engagement, and mental health and substance abuse treatment for young residents. Judge Craig J. Bobay praised her contributions, noting her innovative approaches to juvenile issues have had a life-changing impact for many families.
Trevino will take on a new role as general counsel for Clean Fuels National, a business founded and owned by her husband for over 25 years. She acknowledged that her decision to leave the bench was motivated by a desire for a better work-life balance and more time with her family.
Reflecting on her tenure, Trevino expressed her appreciation for the opportunity to serve in the judiciary. “I am blessed to have been a part of the judiciary of this great state, and although I will dearly miss the many wonderful people I have crossed paths with along the way, I am looking forward to this next chapter,” she concluded.
