| 75453 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | I should have rated this judge 2 years ago, but have only recently begun using the site.

| 69748 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | He can be a bit intemperate at times but if you have thick skin, he is knowledgeable and hard working. He appreciates cooperation amongst counsel and will let you try your case. | 05/30/2019 12:40 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 54072 | Litigant | No Rating | Judge Borenstein indicated that I should have gone to law school when he said my answer to the plaintiffs complaint didn’t contain valid affirmative defenses.

| 51315 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Anybody saying this is a good Judge is either a friend of his or lying. He's the worst Judge in the courthouse.

| 51245 | Other | No Rating | Love his approaches, courteous and professional. Served as a jury at one trial under his ruling. It was tiring, but can't say better under a different judge. | 08/23/2017 10:20 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 49905 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Judge Borenstein is a very technical Judge who is careful and studious. His temperament is superb. He was born to be a Judge. | 06/02/2017 02:32 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 48518 | Civil Litigation - Govt. | View Details | Excellent judge for the little guy w/ a lot of patience for non-attorneys who may not be accustomed to arguing before a judge.

| 44736 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | Judge Bronstein is unmoved by evidence and suffers from a hubris impression of himself.

| 42129 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | Judge Borenstein has a high bar for attorney preparation. If you are sloppy and unprepared, then be prepared to be skewered.

| 41001 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | This judge is awful. Get your case to another dept ASAP if this judge (in dept 44) is assigned, unless you want judgment based on his personal opinion instead of law- emotion is far more effective than logic or law here. Borenst...Read More | 02/20/2016 09:57 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 40830 | Litigant | No Rating | One of the worst judges I've ever seen. Dishonest, ignores the law and facts; will do anything to justify a parking ticket. Beware of this judge! | 02/11/2016 09:51 PM | Contact reviewer |
| 40449 | Litigant | No Rating | He sees the issues and will ignore what is primary to justify a ruling. This was my experience. Honorable judge? Not to me. | 01/28/2016 05:27 AM | Contact reviewer |

| 33220 | Criminal Defense Lawyer | View Details | Disqualify this judge if you have a parking appeal. He'll bend over backwards to rule against you, even when you're in the right. | 03/02/2015 01:14 PM | Contact reviewer |

| 22839 | Litigant | No Rating | This judge seems like a decent guy, but makes weird rulings. Didn't like the way my attorney questioned my former spouse, so let him off on perjury and obfuscation. Said my attorney seemed intent on shaming him. I don't think he's...Read More | 08/14/2013 04:26 PM | Contact reviewer |
