Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: NY14124
Rating:9.9

Comments:
In my opinion, this is the best judge in the history of the New York City Housing Court. She should be training the rest of the bench. There is really no one that touches her understanding of the issues or knowledge of the law.

First comment is correct. She is absolutely biased. Good rating is probably from her family or legal services colleagues.

Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: NY11887
Rating:9.3

Comments:
The prior comment is from someone upset about a particular decision who is not rating the Judge fairly. Anyone can Google or Lexis this Judge's decisions and see that (not just "for Housing Court") they are incredibly well-thought out and supported, regardless of in whose favor she is ruling. If most Housing Court judges thought about things half as hard as she does, Housing Court would be a much more tolerable environment.

Completely biased, unfair and unjust to landlords. Unfit to be a judge.
