Had an infant's compromise order which was time sensitive as infant was leaving country for extended time period. Judge and her court attorney and staff could not have been more courteous, professional and accomodating than they were. Made client and infant son feel comfortable and heard. Best ever in 38 years of practice.

This judge is lazy-simply does not read motion papers in advance- is discourteous, wholly lacking in judicial temperament and seeks to keep adjourning motions to avoid making a decision. If she has actual knowledge of the law it is not discerninble when she declares that she does not care about the law in tersely handing out her directions. The bar suffers by her service on the bench.

One of the worst judges ever in Queens and thats saying alot. Shes totally biased for defense. She has an agenda against the plaintiff and the jury knows that. She has no problem destroying the plaintiffs case when she doesnt know the law or fairness. She becomes a finder of fact unfairly, and basically advocates for the defendant in a case. She should be removed from the bench. Another really bad Judge in Queens.

I find Justice Pam Jackman-Brown to be attentive, fair to both sides and she gives both sides ample opportunity to find an equitable solution before taking the drastic measure of making a decision of her own. She takes her time to actually read through the arguments before making a decision. There are cases where I worked where the motion may not have gone in my favor but one thing I can say is that she is fair and knowledgeable.

In my opinion, the worst judge in Queens County Supreme Court, New York State, and, quite frankly, any Court I have ever been in, ever. I do not want to voluntarily handle any matter before her ever.

Probably the worse judge in New York, does not follow the rules of any kind, treats the court room like her own personal fiefdom, will side with one party In an open blatant way, very arrogant, total opposite of how a judge should behave, she should be removed from the bench.

She is actually the worst judge I may have ever encountered in my 10 years practicing law in New York. She is so unbelievably lazy, I cannot imagine someone less willing to move the needle in costly and time consuming litigation.

She is not Honorable, very biased and put my daughter in harms way. Upon our finalizing of our divorce she joked this was her longest standing case. Yes your honor, you kept me in court for 8 long years. I was a young 30 year old nurse working part-time and upon finalizing a anxiety ridden, pushing 40 year in close too 100k debt. My ex was arrested multiple times, failed repeated drug tests, did some rehab, became a drug enforcement,etc. The only positive he had was wealth, he continued to fight for 50/50 custody even after the FEDS broke down his front door. This judge allowed him overnight visits and told him he could not work as a drug informant when in the presence of my toddler. She is a danger to society and what she allowed my only child to be put through. In the end I may say I was granted full custody only because his attorney quit. I owe that to the Lord not disgracefully Jackman-Brown.

Thank you judge Jackman brown for giving my ex wife and her new husband a $500,000 wedding gift at my expense. Thank you judge for stopping me from selling my property. Thank you judge Jackman brown for permitting my ex wife's boyfriend now husband to stay in the marital residence. All 3 of my daughters are suffering significant psychological problems to this very day due to your orders. Your racist and biased against fathers who are actively involved in parenting their children.

I was in front of this judge and I do not know why this kind of people are in a position like that. This lady does not care if you are a women with children and your cheating husband is living in a luxurious life. She is racist arrogant and the worst judge I have ever seen.If someone can read this message and take out this person from the trials could make a favor to the American people who pay their taxes for such noxious person.STAY AWAY FROM THIS JUDGE IF YOU ARE WOMEN !!!! OR WHITE EVEN LATINO!

Over all, I would rate her very bias in favor of the New York Police Department. She over steps her authority and threatens parties to accept a lower settlement or she will issue less. I would like to know who I could contact in the New York Could System to file a complaint against her. As far as rating her, it would be a minus 3. I believe what she did is illegal, unfair and predigests, please contact me if we take this to a higher level. Thank You

Judge JB has repeatedly arrived late to court, costing my client money and wasting my time. Two hours late is inexcusable. She refused to hear our case forcing us to reschedule cost: $3200.

The judge in question is both malicious and vexatious. If she was in any other court in this great land, she would have been removed. I don't see how she is deemed fit for her position. Further she has no interest in entertaining pre trial matters, and waste no time telling you 'you're wasting my time and the peoples money with your DIVORCE case.'

Judge Jackman-Brown, is without a doubt, one of the dumbest--yet most arrogant judges on the bench. How in heaven's name did she get to be on the bench. She is rude to attorneys and litigants, takes forever to decide motions, and is completely ignorant of the law. I dread having to go into her courtroom. If there is anything to have made me seriously consider changing my area of practice, it is having to appear before this dodo bird. I'm surprised someone rated her as a "2." We should be able to rate using "0" on this site; that's what she merits.

I'm disabled and she told me to get a job. Thanks to her I was evicted from my home because she refused to hear a motion in divorce court. She further told me I was useless--God forbid I just had SEVEN DOCUMENTED surgeries.

Bully vs. Judge. Pam doesn't possess what it takes to be evenhanded. Her first consideration when going into a case is: who carries the most wealth. Next, she considers gender. After that, she plays the part of an ignorant school yard bully by forming a biased opinion on the grounds of someones skin tone and social status. And she sticks to it, don't think she'll do the right thing. She sides with money, she sides with her color, and she is a danger to anyone standing in front of her. You will not get a fair judgement, you've been warned...spend the extra money to get our of her court.

Only facts: regularly excercises abuse of power by improperly admitting evidence from a party who was precluded from entering evidence for lying. Fails to act on motions. This judge will run your legal bill through the roof, she wont hear your case, and she doesnt care how much money she wasts. She goes against her own orders. She has cases which have
been sitting in front of her since her first day in supreme...nearing three years.

This is quite possibly the worst judge that I have ever practiced before. She knows next to nothing about the law. Her decisions read as if they were written by a first year law student, and she is about as incurious and obnoxious as is humanly possible.

I truly fear for the women in her courtroom. Ladies, Judge Jackman-Brown will run you financially into the ground, and ensure that you stay there. I had no choice but to have my case dismissed and reconsidered in another venue.
