Now sits in Supreme Court. One of the best I’ve ever appeared before. Really enjoys what he does. Very respectful of the attorneys. Genuinely interested in the facts of the action. Excellent jurist.

He does not have a proper temperament to be a judge. His default position s to be angry. On a motion; where he admitted he had not read the papers and the exhibits and did not know the applicable law, he engaged in judicial extortion by threatening* to rule against a party so as to tie them up because an appellate decision would take too long to obtain. He is a bad guy who seems to like throwing his judicial muscle against litigants instead of doing his job fairly. Would give him 0 as the rating across the board if possible

We, the reviewers can all agree that we are not so perturbed at getting the short end of our divorces, but we can all agree that; how the decisions are made by this judge, is an absolute,continuous abuse of power. He DEFIES the laws on the books with his unconventional rulings, without evidence and facts. His rogue behavior on the bench has destroyed many lives and families.

HOW LONG CAN THIS GO ON?…
The biasing of court cases, by this judge, is widely known by the general Nassau County Court System and Nationwide.

The BLATANT ABUSE OF POWER is witnessed daily by Nassau attorneys, court reporters, and officers of the Nassau County court system, who are eager to please this judge, at the expense of us, the victims. The above are all court officers.

November 15, 2018: This same judge was labeled as biased on the front cover of the ‘New York Post’. He was removed from a divorce case for his biases and interjecting his personal experiences into his decision.
“Why isn’t anyone saying or doing anything to put a stop to this rogue judge? Where is the Justice Department with their checks and balances.?

In my case, as the defendant, this judge made a judgment of divorce, without: any income verification, tax returns, or real estate appraisals. This judge lowered my child support without any figures, facts or details.
I questioned the judge: “How can you make those decisions without any facts.?

Before answering, he told the court reporter to go “OFF THE RECORD”… He then proceeded to scold me for having the nerve to question him on his ruling and dismissed me for questioning his biased decision.

He proceeded to tell me that he lost everything in his divorce, and he didn’t get what he wanted in his divorce.

Rademaker proceeded to threatened me by saying if I did not sign an agreement that I did not agree to, he would order the marital home to be sold, where my two kids and I reside.

As a result of his biased decision, and to the detriment of my children, we are now on full government benefits… while my white, ex-husband continues to be a millionaire.
No…I did not have 2, politically connected attorneys,as my now ex-husband did. I had one who was feeding my evidence to my adversary. Yes… it’s a network of organized manipulation of cases.

This judge needs to be investigated by the Justice Department, and all his cases after HIS DIVORCE, needs to be reviewed. It is obvious that he makes his decision on our cases, based on his personal failures. This abuse of power cannot continue…
There is power in numbers.

As a domestic violence, abuse survivor, and a black woman, getting divorced from a caucasian man, I was further abused verbally, emotionally and financially in the courtroom by this judge…all in the view of the court, officers and court reporter, who said nothing.

I will not mention the purposeful, missing deposition by a certain deposition company, that withheld the deposition that I paid for, which I needed to go to trial.

WARNING:
You must review documents that are submitted and filed in the Nassau County Clerk's office by your attorney. Do not take your attorney’s word for it. Go and check for yourself to see what documents were filed and placed in your box of files. Make sure that all documents in your box of files were reviewed and signed off by you.
I discovered documents in my file box, which were submitted without my knowledge or permission. This is how my case manipulated , and the decisions was made in his chambers, without any evidence, or input from me. Unfortunately, I discovered this after he forced me to sign the agreement.

If you want a guaranteed win your divorce case in Nassau County, make sure your attorney(s) is/are politically connected to Rademaker.

In closing, it is not what you know, but who you know in the Nassau County matrimonial Court.

An earlier review here said he cut through the bullshit. Wrong. He substitutes his (poor, biased) judgment for those who are experts or at least clearly know more, and always in favor of civil defendants. He really lives in his own fantasy world. He therefore denies legitimate motions, while truly thinking he's correct. He's an anti-vaxxer, and would have been one of the guys who stormed the Capitol if he only had the courage to be anything more than a petty tyrant.

FINALLY a judge that rules according to our laws and constitution. I thank him for ruling to eliminate mask mandates in NY. The mandates are damaging our children and studies have shown masks are not effective in preventing COVID. Bravo Judge!

Judge Rademaker is a fair judge who demands respect and professionalism. Nothing wrong with that. He has little patience for the B.S. games lawyers play. Be prepared and be polite and you will have an excellent experience before this Judge.

This judge is arrogant with a short fuse. He spoke to me like he was better than me which is far from the truth! He is bias and full of himself! He tried degrading me as a man and a father! He didn’t even read my litigation and wasn’t for the best interest of my child. He is full of himself must be a miserable, lonely, and a self centered piece of work who is destroying our court system. Don’t judge me you can’t keep a wife yourself!

From personal experience, he spoke to me,(plaintiff) during order of protection hearing, in a derogatory manner. He based his verdict on defendant’s appearance-never asked defendant if he did what I alleged. He should be aware of practice of defenders looking differently during trial. Rescinded order. He should be ashamed of his behavior & verdict. He should not be involved with Family Court.

Rademaker does not understand the process of how motions are heard. He told me that if I voluntarily agreed to a TRO, that it would only last for a week. It lasted 10 months. He sore to Canons that he understood the law, yet has no clue. A disgrace to the robe, but only too common in Nassau County, NY.

Thomas Rademaker is very involved in his courtroom. He focus’s on both parties, however his first priority is what is in the best interest of the child/children. I do have experience with him in his courtroom. He continued his professionalism and mannerism while listening to both parties. He doesn’t tolerate disrespect, unprepared and arrogant party/parties in his courtroom. He doesn’t favor a particular side as his concerns and interest is for the parties child/children. At the end of the day he sees through the manipulation, control and abuse but will express its not about the parents. Children are his #1 priority.

Thomas Rademaker does not belong behind the bench . He is a bias judge who only sees things the way he want to see them and cares nothing about the facts. His overall demeanor is horrible couple with a disgusting bedside manor . He destroys family’s lives and is not there to protect the children in fact it’s quite the opposite. The only way you have a shot at winning in his court room is if you have high heels and your pretty. He has zero experience as s Supreme Court judge and he most certainly rules unfairly . Nassau county needs to remove him from the bench as he is a disgrace to judges and Nassau county is allowing him to continue to destroy family life.

Hi can smell the lies from miles away. He can see the full picture. Can quickly evaluate situation and make the right decision. He is not afraid to make the decision when others would not do it and the assumption on which the decision were made get proved later on in the process.

This judge has little experience in Supreme Court. As an experienced attorney, I know when to prepare and file a motion. He does not want the work, so puts pressure on lawyers to not file motions and pressures parties to work it out instead of the process. I would rather work with any other judge in Supreme. His lack of experience in the courtroom is evident.

He is a loose cannon having frequent outbursts on undeserving litigants. His judicial temperament is awful, and I have personally seen him screaming at litigants in the most abusive manner making him unfit for the bench in my opinion. Don’t expect any sort of fairness in his courtroom.... he will not read your motions, and only make decisions shooting from the hip, depending on his mood that day. .
