Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: NY13202
Rating:Not Rated
Comments:
Best Supreme Court Judge in Suffolk County, second to none. Fair, unbiased, does not automatically favor the mother in a custody dispute, like so many other judges. Sees through games and manipulation that parties engage in, and one of the few judges in Suffolk not afraid to make a decision, even if that decision will be met with resistance and be appealed. Listens to what the attorneys have to say. Great judge!

~Biased, closed-minded, and weak on the law. Lacks judicial temperament.

Rushes and guesses. Careless and overwhelmed. I truly hope Suffolk gets an overhaul soon. If I finished my work at the end of the day as meaningless as the way these judges make decisions just to clear their calendar I would LONG be fired.
