Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: NY13956
Rating:7.4

Comments:
The other comments about Justice Marx must have come from disgruntled lawyers who lost their cases or motions. My experience has been different. Justice Marx expects counsel to be prompt and well-prepared. If that is too much of a burden, perhaps the complainer needs to find a less demanding area of law to practice. I have not detected any bias. To the contrary, I have found this judge to be focused on, and receptive to, cogent arguments and admissible evidence.

The worst. Should not be any kind of judge.

Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: NY13373
Rating:2.3

Comments:
The most unprofessional Judge in all of the lower Hudson Valley. Nasty for no reason, condescending and inappropriate comments on the record to make himself feel better. He was a former plaintiff attorney (bad one too) who now sits on his throne and single handedly lowers the esteem of the judicial profession. An embarrassment to his fellow colleagues. Good riddance in just a few short years.

Rating:2.0

Comments:
Nasty. Has no business being a judge. Inflexible, even with "great cause". Doesn't know the details and is lazy.

Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: NY11078
Rating:5.3

Comments:
The practice is tough enough without needless aggravation added to the mix. He needs to lighten up on the nastiness- don't scold people for doing their already difficult job, how would he treat himself ion he ever appeared before someone like him while in private practice?

Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: NY10800
Rating:1.0

Comments:
Constantly and unnecessarily nasty. Goes out of his way to harangue and embarrass attorneys at nearly every calendar call. God forbid you refer to an independent medical examination as an "IME" instead of a "defense physical". You will get a lengthy irate lecture on why there is nothing independent about it. Clear plaintiff bias.
