An Allen County judge is stepping down from the bench in September.
Allen Superior Court Judge Andrea Trevino will step down from the bench later this year to rejoin the private sector, according to a news release.
Her last day as judge will be Sept. 23, 2025.
Upon her departure from the bench, Trevino will become general counsel for Clean Fuels National, a business owned by her husband for more than 25 years.
Trevino has been a part of the Allen County judiciary since 2013, first serving as a magistrate in Allen Circuit Court and then as an Allen Superior Court judge following an appointment by Gov. Eric Holcomb in 2018.
Trevino was then elected to her first full term in 2020.
“I am so grateful for my time on the bench protecting the interests of Allen County’s families and youth,” Trevino said in a released statement. “I leave knowing I have put my whole heart and energies into helping facilitate better familial relationships and better futures for the children in our community. I approached every delinquency case believing in the importance of balancing community safety with the needs and best interests of the kids who came through our justice system. It is both a tremendous responsibility and honor to be in a position to make such widespread impact.”
Trevino informed Indiana Supreme Court Chief Justice Loretta Rush and Gov. Mike Braun of her intention to step down from the bench.
Her successor will be appointed by Braun from a group of finalists to be identified by the Allen County Judicial Nominating Commission.
The timing of that process will be announced in the future by the governor’s office. Trevino’s appointed successor will complete the remainder of her current term which ends Dec. 31, 2026.
Trevino’s position will also be on the Nov. 3, 2026, general election ballot.
Since her appointment as superior court judge, Trevino has overseen operations and programming at the Allen County Juvenile Center.
In addition to housing juvenile and family courts, and serving as a secure detention center, ACJC is home to an alternative school program, Allen County Juvenile Probation, and other support functions.
“Above all else, Andrea Trevino is a champion for families and children,” said former Judge Thomas Felts, who appointed Trevino an Allen Circuit Court Magistrate in 2013. “Changing lives and building better futures is a calling for her, as evidenced by the initiatives and energy that have marked her time in the Allen County Courts. Our community is fortunate to have had the gift of her heart and her wisdom. She deserves our gratitude for devoting herself to public service and to the families of Allen County.”
Trevino also created the Bridges to Recovery program, a no-cost educational initiative designed to support youth and their families and connect youth to community resources while awaiting treatment.
