Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: NJ3391
Rating:2.6
Comments:
Judge caters to those with political connections, doesn't read anything prior to motions, makes up facts to cover himself and is overall untrustworthy. Place everything on the record and in writing. Uses his judicial power for his personal gain and not to promote fairness or justice.

Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: NJ2754
Rating:5.9

Likable person, respectful but light on analysis in motions and fairness in results. Could be a better judge with more work.

Litigant

Comment #: NJ2655
Rating:1.0
Comments:
This Judge clearly favors woman. He has disdain for stay at home fathers. He is a cold hearted person with little knowledge of family Court. He has been moved to Civil Court for a reason.

Litigant

Comment #: NJ2579
Rating:1.0
Comments:
Legally incompetent, no one should be Judge after not practicing law for 11 years. Sceusi was a Rockaway Mayor for 11 years and endorsed his "political friend" Governor Christie for Mayor for payback Christie appointed him for Morristown judge. This is a JUDICIALGATE scandal in addition to BRIDGEGATE scandal. Sceusi is a ward of the Christie. He should be removed from the bench before he creates more victims by his dishonorable decisions .

It is troubling that he apply his opinion rather than law. Needs to removed from bench.
