Just a great judge! It is a tough job and there is likely one party in every case that is not happy. Judge Shusted is always fair and has a wonderful temperament. I wouldn't want the job. In all the years he has been on the bench I can only see just a few negative comments. From what I see, If you are contrite and respectful then you will receive a Solonistic decision!

It is horrendous that this person is a judge. He convinced a young woman to file an action to harass another party so he could steal over $50,000 by manipulating the system with a false OSC. Ultimately, the money was returned by court order of another judge. He has no care to ruin people's lives and abuse the court system for his own financial gain. How could this unethical person sit at a bench and make any rational decisions about anyone else with his own unethical and fraudulent past, even recognized by others on this site?

A real political hack. I knew this guy when he was an attorney involved in many fraudulent filings in court to extract money from a litigant. Complaints exist against him, but here he is a judge ruining people's lives now from behind the bench.

Definitely forgetful. Rules based on opinions. Biased. Said one thing then ruled against what he told me to do. Scared to rule what was right because of the stupid ricci 18yr old girl case
He ruined my life. Very unfair. My son is suffering now because of him.

This judge allowed a drug dealing gang member to have me and my child evicted from a home that was rented to me with a lease and a security deposit. He allowed the slumlord to have a third party to file a false claim against me in court. I was never served because they wrote the docket under a name that isn't mines and he took my case from landlord tenant court which is supposed to be under a LT Docket number and moved me to a DC docket which is a special civil unit because the 3rd party lied in the complaint stating that we weren't supposed to be in the home. Even after presenting a year long lease, energy bills, receipts and letters written to me from the owner were he states in them that I rent the home. With all of this the judge didn't reverse his decision or give me my day in court. He forced me and my child into homelessness... He is a crooks judge, I was told at the center for family services that he has personally made tons of Camden citizens homeless by siding with slumlords...

Forgetful and careless. Does not believe in eyewitness accounts by state agency's, and unless forced to will not review their reports. Did I say forgetful? He often does not remember any events that occurred days before.

The judge's decision in the case of the 21 year old Caitlyn Ricci vs her parents over paying her college tuition oversteps the legal system's jurisdiction and impose legal responsibility for adult children. The legal age of adulthood is 18 years old. At that point, if the new adult chooses to leave the home or if the parents choose to invite the departure, at that point, the legal responsibility ends. For the court system to say otherwise is a gross miscarriage of justice and opens up the legal system and families to unnecessary and frivolous lawsuits. Shame on you Judge Shusted and shame on the State of New Jersey for allowing this.

Obviously not what parents of the state need on the bench?!!? If that Ricci girl MOVED OUT.. per tax code she has emancipated herself and any expectation or benefits of "dependency" null!!
