No empathy, bias. Certainly an establishment puppet. Having said that. Compared to Klatt hes a win. He did right by my child for the most part.

This old Judge is only still working so he can protect the crime family that is the Family Court. [Redacted by Ed.] biased and jaded and cares nothing about what is right and wrong and helping children. [Redacted by Ed.]

This Judge is extremely biased against women. His cases last too long over nothing issues. He doesn't listen to MOTHERS! Completely against them especially if they don't have an attorney.

Worst judge I’ve seen that deals with divorces. He definately favors the male in the case. My daughter in law should have been a quick case, but he dragged it on longer so her lawyer can charge more money. Connecticut is full of corrupt judges and prosecutors who don’t care if a women is physically assaulted.

What a horrible excuse for a Judge. I believe he hates Mothers and expecially Mothers that were Mostly SAHM. My childern were taken away from me in a very tramatic way. I was unfairly blamed for everything in my divorce. I hope he is barred from practicing in Connecticut,

He is horrible. I am a victim of attempted murder and Domestic Violence by my childs father, when illegally located by my attempted murderer/abuser after a legal VAWA protected identity change and safe relocation Judge G. Adelman allowed my abuser to further abuse me and my child in family court. Adelman threatened that I would lose custody should any further motions by any party be put in the court system. They allowed my abuser to make false allegations against me with no proof. I provided all documentation showing my abusers lengthy history of violence against women and children, he did nothing to protect my child. He also specifically awarded my childs non custodial parent/abuser zero child support obligation in 2014. My child has suffered from this judges illegal choices and abuse of his authority. We are still in danger years later.l. being stalked, harassed and threatened. A state police officer gave our abuser, my attempted murderer my new identity and new safe relocated address without informing me. Yet no one holds anyone accountable in Connecticut. Especially judge Adelman. He should be in jail.

There is nothing even about this disgusting person. No matter the amount of evidence you put forward his bias kicks in and he turns and looks away when it involves a female jewish lawyer. He should be removed but his CONNECTIONS keeps that from happening!

He is bias! He does not care about the law or even worst is he does not know it. He lies, In his rulings he changes what the evidence and testimony actually is...so be sure to order every transcript to prove his incompetence or clear bias.

At one point Judge Adelman lectured a litigant for taking child out of state and not telling other parent. Was the parent's weekend, child called each night and told other parent where they were on vacation, etc. There was NOTHING in the court order saying either parent had to inform the other parent if they were going out of state. Adelman lectured the parent then said he'd give them a pass when the other parent brought them in on a contempt. The parent being lectured should have been the one filing a bogus contempt motion and their attorney, John Mager, should have been fined for doing so. Unfortunately, as one judge told me Family judges don't follow law and Adelman did end up doing so but even with something on a smaller scale such as this didn't handle it as he should have. A pass! Really! Unfortunately cronyism allows this to go on and the best interests of children don't even enter the picture.

Judge Adelman is showing his true colors of tyranny in jailing a mom because of missing son. Adelman does not need the law, he has no use for it. He thinks mom is guilty, he puts her in jail. Tell me what I want to hear and I will let you out of jail.

Judge Adelman is the subject of upper management scrutiny within the judiciary. His shadowy past, strange connections and lack of integrity is a cancer within the court. The elders have had enough of his games and the money trail has become too obvious. His bench days are numbered. Maybe he will be put in juvey, but that is another danger to society.

Connecticut can do so much better. This man has no business working in our courtrooms. He is corrupt and biased, protecting attorneys and the corrupt insiders that he practiced with for years, now he hides behind a robe. Goes through the motions and pretends he is being judicial, but his record speaks for itself. Not very bright, look at how he protected the attorney in Traystman vs Traystman, punishing the wife. He won't survive to a second term.

This judge should be thrown off of the bench! He will listen during the trial then crucify you at the end. He will give you the impression he is fair, but he is not at all. Dont be fooled by him. He is very bias.

Again, unless you have a lot of money to pay off your GAL, you are doomed.
If he finds out you are of Christian faith, he will crucify you. He has done this to more than one person.
He ignores CGS SEC 46b-56 in regards to what is in the best interest of the children. He feel he is above the law.
He needs to be removed
