Haekyoung suh is the worst rated judge in the whole of New Jersey on therobingroom.com

It's time she goes back to private practice, she has already enriched her buddies at noris mclaugjlin enough.

I cannot believe HaekYoung Suh is still in Somerset Vicinage, she has to be removed for her incompetence.

she has made a mess in almost every court case she presides in:

1) rushing through cases without diligently understanding both sides.

2) siding with attorneys she had worked with in the past namely Noris McLaughlin

3) being completely one sided.

Judge Shanahan probably likes her because she clears the most dockets off the table because she is quick, and her quick cleanup of the sexual abuse scandal at the NJ Women's prison.

that does not give her credit to destroy everything else she has touched in somerset vicinage.

if you are reading this, send an email of complaint to her bosses at:

A complete disgrace to justice in NJ!

Any case she touches blows up, because she is completely one sided, she makes no attempt to understand both sides, people want to settle for their own sanity, she makes it impossible.

She goes with one side all the way, if she decided the sky is blue there is no way she will understand that there are clouds that can cause the sky to be grey at times, nothing to talk about.

Such is an absolute clown dressed in a robe. She doesn’t even follow NJ statutory requirements that are clearly written for her to follow. And her SJ order are a disgrace. Looks like she just made a cut, copy and paste from the Plaintiff. I’m guessing she has ordered 100% SJ in favor of Plaintiff and against Homeowner. She completely ignores the answers and objections and orders as unopposed. Hunterdon Somerset Warren should be embarrassed to have a CCP as Judge, who does not believe in the US Constitution and Private Property Rights of The People. And She has NO Jurisdiction!!!

Haekyoung suh AKA Kyoung suh should be removed from her judiciary position, she is always somehow involved in cases riddled with questions in regards to her conflicts of interest.

Whether it be lawyers she worked with in private firm noris mclaughlin, or other lawyers she has known, exactly like the previous comments have mentioned.

I'm surprised more attorneys are not coming forward, but probably they are afraid of retribution.

Judge Haekyoung Suh has been moved from family court because of her bias and conflict of interest with attorneys she knows from the past, she also does not read discovery or factual evidence brought before her, she likes to rush everything along and will just side with the lawyer she knows.

This is good news for those going to family court, unfortunately she is being moved around to other areas of law, she had a brief stunt and landlord tenant, but now unfortunately she is in chancery court and now forclosure matters are getting corrupted by her.

To those that care about NJ, especially those that care about somerset county, please do something, can we have Judge Suh respectfully moved to the private sector? she has many friends in the sector she has done good by over the years, they will gladly accept her with much respect.

This particular judge did not grant my 2nd stay of eviction, ok, I found out through an attorney that nov. 30, the day we got locked out, is the last day they can do that, Dec. 1st, they cannot due to obvious reasons, my wife wrote a very heart wrenching, factual letter to go along, we have 4 kids all under the age of 14, youngest 8, and because the 30th was last day before that important Dec.1st, she denied it and we have no place to go, but for the judge and attorney macarthy III, out of sight, out of mind, I don’t care if I agreed to not file again or for the bank who purchased it, my kids take prescidence over them, no contest, and we tried vigorously to secure housing leading up, it’s not as simple as just walking in, it’s greed and kinda evil with the whole nov.30th thing, I’ve got an email back from channel 4 news ny and I’m meeting with them this week, they were more interested in the story than I imagined

Dismissive without doing due diligence. Draconian rulings that aren't balanced with empathy. Ignores some facts in justification of her decisions that side exclusively with the mother in custodial matters. I've paid over $200K in child support over the years, but I was denigrated like a deadbeat. Galling to only be tolerated in court, and not heard.

I believe this judge no longer sits on family courts. Everyone should file a complaint with the NJ Advisory Committee on Judicial Conduct. She can't hurt us anymore and don't let her get away with it!!!

This judge is one of the human beings to exist and has no place to ruin other's lives.

I am stunned that this so-called judge is permitted to sit on the bench. Why is she permitted to continue to ruin peoples' lives for no reason other than she can? She is clearly not following precedent, and not interested in fairness.

Judge Suh has destroyed our family. In our case, the litigant never got a day in court. New Jersey's divorce laws are archaic and have no place in this century. For Judge Sun, this is a perfect storm.

Judge Suh fails to disclose prior working relationships with counsel. If you are going up in front of her, you must do the research. Prior working relationship and neighbor and did not recuse herself.

Judge Suh also made several errors but because she has a working relationship with one of the appeals judges, she knows how to word a decree to where it is not only one-sided, but non-modifiable under existing law and will never be overturned or remanded back.

After doing research, with the same law firm and lawyers, she has shown to be one-sided and there is no "justice" when it goes to the Appeals board, because of existing law (they will not overturn) and her relationship with Judge Mawla.

This judge is a joke. She needs to be removed from the bench or you need to move out of Somerset county if you want a fair hearing.
I am appealing my case as she didn’t review the evidence. She listened to the defendants testimony and made amendments to his parenting time without him filing a request. I’m not sure how that can even happen as I was the one that filed.
The defendant is a prior sherrifs officer who was fired and had criminal charges for lying under oath right in that same court so it’s surprising how he came empty handed but she took his testimony over my supporting documentation.
She also made a few inappropriate comments about my wording when I was speaking..which was very inappropriate.
I honestly dont know how she is in this position. Every local attorney thinks she is a joke..she is truly an embarrassment to women and to family law.

This judge should not be in family law. She is not fair reasonable or even ethical. She did not read or have any knowledge of the documentation/evidence provided and took the defendants testimony over documented evidence. She permitted the other party to make innapropriate comments during my testimony and throughout the hearing without addressing it. If anyone is pursuing an investigation on her I would be more than willing to assist and even permit the use of my recorded hearing.

This judge does not deserve to be a judge at all. All she cares about is the mother side and if you live in New Jersey. Then she will give you whatever you want. Me and husband have been in front of this judge for the last 2 1/2 years and she keeps siding with my husband's baby mama. My step son is living in such a poor and unkept home he is being treated like a slave and getting abused and Judge Suh thinks its ok. I am fed up with this. So now we are doing a investigation about this judge. She needs to remove her self from everything. Also she is very biased.

No protection for the child. This is the second time she has placed the child back with his mother. Back to a house full of cockroaches, bedbugs, fleas on his mattress. Physical, emotional and mental abuse. Won't allow the child to testify that he wants to live with his father and stepmother. Is totally biased and doesn't look at or care about any evidence you have, is always one sided no matter how bad the home situation is. Not the judge for family court!!!

Totally biased and did not care of the evidence before her. Zero protection of my child and handed him back to the abuser who just stepped out of jail on domestic violence charges on New girlfriend while my child was there. Treats women as criminals and sides with only males from others I have discussed who have gone before her. She should not be in family courts.

This judge is the worst I have ever experienced and is an embarrassment to the legal profession. It's hard to believe she is an attorney, let alone a judge. She was incredibly biased and believed everything the defendant said in their certification (without any documented evidence), and ignored everything the plaintiff certified to (and the plaintiff had tons of documented evidence). She does not understand New Jersey family law and doesn't seem to care to want to understand it. She appears to be biased toward the divorcing or divorced ex-wife--so if you are on the ex-wife's side, say what ever you want and make up anything you want to better your case--outright lie and you will be fine with this Judge--she will believe every word you say with no supporting evidence.

This Judge does not look at facts and evidence in cases, not a fair judge, she wants to incarcerate a man, 100% disabled for not paying alimony to a self supporting ex when in fact the husband has NO ability to pay the astronomical amount the judge is requiring which is no reduction, no relief at all even after proving the disability, she sees only the other side and agrees with everything he says, no matter what and after reading the previous rating and comment I feel like it’s my story as we are going through the same thing, the Attorney must be the same buddy, I also will be filing a complaint!!!! Judges take an oath and are to be fair and uphold the law not award their friends everything, this in my opinion is serious misconduct when you ignore evidence

Comments:
The judge failed to disclose a long-standing working relationship with opposing counsel. As a result, her judgment was in favor of the other party, she failed to follow current law, and more importantly, for any part of my testimony I was required to provide evidence to support testimony, but not for the other party.

Her long-standing colleague was given everything he asked for, and elevated the welfare of one working adult over another. This is a violation of a judge's Canon.

She may be good in child protection manners, but is extremely poor performing in divorce. She should've disclosed her long standing working relationship with opposing counsel.

Judge Suh had a long standing working relationship, both in private practice and through the Hunterdon County Bar Association, and did recuse herself from hearing a case. Needless to say, she failed to follow Gnall v Gnall, took testimony over documented evidence, and best of all, made several errors in findings of facts in my divorce case.

Whether she wanted to do a favor for her friend (opposing counsel) or is inept or bias, she was poor. Will be filing a complaint for an investigation due to a serious conflict of interest.
