Hon. Marcia Henry (E.D.N.Y.) In my opinion, Judge Henry is in over her head. She is prepared in that she knows the facts of the case. But I think she has difficulty with assimilating the legal issues and ruling fairly. This also comes out in terms of frustration and a quick temper. Kind of like a person who is insecure and then takes it out with anger and frustration. As a civil lawyer, I think she leans in favor of insurance companies and corporations.

Hon. Ann Marie Donnelly (E.D.N.Y.) The word "horror show" comes to mind. Pompous, ill mannered, dumb, and an incompetent boob. If you get her, either withdraw your case or appeal what is going to be a stupid opinion. Avoid this shonda/sheila. No one with a choice would ever want her.

Hon. Lewis J. Liman (S.D.N.Y.) Terrible. Avoid, unless you are Warren Buffet or David Boies or from a big firm. Biased, prejudges cases, & makes literally lawless rulings. His rulings are a one-sided rant. He will change the facts & arguments to create the result be wants. This person should not be a judge. Personally, he is full of himself without justification. He isn't very smart. Criminal Defense Lawyer - (1/16/2025 1:40:22 AM)

Hon. Joan M. Azrack (E.D.N.Y.) I'm not sure how Judge Azrack has a 8.3 rating. My experience with Judge Azrack is that once she's backed into a corner, she goes silent and avoids ruling as required by a Honorable Judges. She likes to make an example of people who no one other than family and friends have any interest in the person she's ruling on. The prosecutors weren't pushing for any time and she handed down a 2 year sentence for a case that was illegally submitted to her court. When she's made aware of this after the ruling, she goes totally silent. She refuses to rule on any motions presented to her court regarding illegalities that were committed by the prosecutors, breaking the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and the fact that there wasn't a crime that was committed. Proof of this is the fact that if the motions later submitted to her court had no substance or foundation, she could have easily ruled on them, but the mere fact that she's issuing a ruling makes it clear that the motions are accurate in their facts.

Hon. John E. McDermott (C.D.Cal.) Forms an opinion based on preliminary information. Once his mind is made up that is that, regardless of contradictory facts. Extremely one sided. Fairness and facts don’t seem to matter Civil Litigation - Private - (1/7/2025 7:16:12 PM)

Hon. John Robert Blakey (N.D.Ill.) Blakely exemplifies "rules for thee, but not for me", and believes that everyone in government (judiciary, legislative, and particularly law enforcement is the "me", and US Citizens are the "thee". In other words, the government can do no wrong and everyone outside of the government are merely peasants. Criminal Defense Lawyer - (1/5/2025 12:02:25 AM)

Hon. Amit Priyavadan Mehta (D.D.C.) Judge Mehta is a phenomenal judge. He is a workhorse that works hard to make sure he gets the correct decision. Even when he does not rule in your favor, you are confident that your arguments were fully considered and the decision was the correct one. Judge Mehta is extremely bright, intellectual, yet also practical. Though I would be sorry to see him leave the District Court, Judge Mehta should be on the Supreme Court.

Hon. Keri L. Holleb Hotaling (N.D.Ill.) my first experience with this judge. She gets in the trenches in settlement conferences and has a great protocol that has much of the work done before the day of the conference. She practiced as a business litigator in private practice, so she actually knows how these cases go in real life. Likely to be USDC after not too long Civil Litigation - Private - (12/14/2024 9:25:30 PM)

Hon. George B. Daniels (S.D.N.Y.) Judge Daniels seems to have a history of making power plays in search of a legal theory. He clearly must have been sleeping during his first year at Yale. The man is not a deep thinker and in numerous cases has shown favoritism in lieu of intelligent legal opinions. Other - (12/8/2024 8:16:59 PM)
