Prosecutor

Comment #: NY9586
Rating:3.6
Comments:
Handled felony trials before him as an ADA in 2000-2001. He was invariably discourteous and cranky. Rolling eyes, glaring. Had a bizarre way of whispering into a microphone as he spoke (which kinda defeats the purpose of a microphone).

This judge is one of the very best. He is a delight to work with. He is highly intelligent, low-key and approachable and often extremely funny. Judge Hayes is as good as they get. In a four-month trial, his rulings were pretty much always right.

A pleasure to appear in front of. Smart and very practical. Highly fair and, unlike too many judges, doesn't take himself so seriously.
