Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: NY12838
Rating:3.9

Comments:
He is without any doubt bias towards the state. Based on the manner in which he addressed my client (Dark skinned hispanic) it is my opinion he is a bigot and will not be fair or just if your client is a person of color. In his decision he made up his own facts to suite his decision which was contrary to all of the physical evidence. Please be advised this opinion is not sour grapes it is truly one of the most disgraceful decisions of have ever witnessed.

Judge Sise has all the qualities of a great Judge- he's smart, practical, and he has excellent judicial temperament. He doesn't hesitate to roll up his sleeves and put in extra long days. The fourth judicial district is fortunate to have him.

Civil Litigation - Private

Rating:8.6

Comments:
Absolute pleasure to work with. Incredibly flexible when it comes to scheduling, works 9-5 and lets you try your case. Not incredibly scholarly, but very intelligent.

Although a bit defendant leaning, is very open to both sides and makes an effort to settle the case if at all possible. A lot of judges could learn a lot from Judge Sise.
