It is a pleasure to be before Magistrate Judge Velez-Rive. When she was appointed to the bench, I thought "another prosecutor!" I was wrong, dead wrong! She really calls them as she sees them and has a very open mind when listening to everyone's arguments. It is completely refreshing to have persons of her caliber and temperament on the bench.

MJ Velez-Rive is a former AUSA and many defense attorneys worried she might just turn out to be a rubberstamp for the government. She has turned out to be extremely fair, and it is really a pleasure to appear before her.
