Injects his personal options and out loud said he relates to my ex husband because she’s a dad and hired an attorney for my ex husband for our trial without my ex having to do paperwork or enter a motion!!! He’s a despicable judge who doesn’t look at the evidence and rather plays on his personal hang ups and seems like he hates women because I have witnessed him being very derogatory toward women in the courtroom and being very lenient toward men. My exhusband has abused my daughter for over 8 years. ACS case against him done by my daughter therapist of over 2 years and he completely disregarded her professional opinion of the situation and has ordered my 16 year old daughter to endure more abuse at the hands of her dad and all the judge remarks when I say he’s abusive toward her is she’s 16! As if by the time you’re 16 you don’t know when you’re being abused and you deserve to be abused because you’re 16?!?! If you sit in his courtroom in the back of the court, and listen to how differently he behaves toward women vs the men, you will see what a hypocrit he is and he has no business representing the courts legal system if he’s not going to abide by the rules of the law or court! It’s sicken! My daughters attorney even said she’s against my daughter being in his care, yet still that just Michael L. Katz from Supreme Court is forcing her!! Knowing she has been in therapy because she’s had thought of suicide in the care of her dad! He is an unethical judge that needs to be humbled so he can remember why he took his oath in the first place! He practices in that court room out of his own accord. There is no laws being upheld! He’s a [Redacted by Ed.] with a degree in a high position that no one is monitoring while he selectively victimizes the women in his court. I’m not afraid to speak up more about him and wish judges could be held responsible for their lack of disregard and commitment to the law.

Mr Katz does not have an oath of office on record with the Secretary of State. He’s not a real judge but an attorney acting as judge. [Redacted by Ed.] . He needs to be investigated. He is a bias [redacted] with no regard for children. His ego is the biggest thing in the courtroom. He ignores the rights of parents and does not apply the actual law and is not concerned about anyone’s rights. He needs to be removed.

Pray you never have to appear before Katz!!! He chooses sides. He stays on his personal computer during trial and does not listen to the side he has not chosen to side with. Imagine your life with your children being less important than his personal computer. Katz allows perjury in his court room. He does not care about the truth.

Judge Katz does not read the motions in front of him, he tries to get the facts from the oral arguments which leads to bad decisions,as many attorneys simply lie.
I have witnessed it on many occassions.
Please get in touch with me if you are interested in getting the facts together and send a letter of complaint to Albany. They investigate judicial misconduct.

Favors Abusive fathers because he is all for fathers rights he doesn’t feel Domestic violence in front of children is Abuse ! I agree with the comments below if you have a female Lawyer he will not let her finish only listens to the male lawyers . I guess all a father has to do is cry alienation and Katz will not put the childrens best interest first he has long as they get to see the father .

Katz does not hold attorneys accountable. He ruled that depositions be prepared by a certain date and a year later the attorneys have not taken any depositions. However Katz accepts frivolous motions prolonging the case and wasting hundreds of thousand of dollars on attorney fees. Meanwhile lives of the innocent are wrecked. The lies that set a case in motion are ignored.

The Honorable Katz interrupts and talks over female attorneys resulting in verbalized case points falling unheard in court. He either doesn’t read the evidence presented or he doesn’t want to be confused with the provable facts. Male attorneys are allowed by Katz to finish their sentences whereas female attorneys rarely are allowed to finish a sentence without his interruption. His court does not consider a child’s well being. His court only recognizes the parent’s wants that he chooses to side with regardless of the provable facts. He can’t be bothered with the evidence and the law. Hearts are broken in his court and children are traumatized by his reckless off the cuff rulings. Defendants represented by a female attorney in his court are disadvantaged and have very little hope of having one’s case truly heard.

Michael L Katz is un unfair judge that destroys people’s lives. He discriminates people that cannot afford expensive attorneys in favour of top NY lawyers. He does not listen and he has an intimidating attitude. He is conceited and mean-spirited and humiliates people with the way he talks to them. People like him should not be in a power position like this.

Terribly biased and judgemental matrimonial judge with a bad temperament. Father's beware as he will side with the mother 990% of the time. He is power hungry and mad.
