When deciding motions, Justice Bellantoni usually gets to the right outcome, but you can grow old waiting for the decision.

This judge is not very astute. His thinking seems erratic.

Judge Bellantoni is an even-handed, no-nonsense trial judge. You will receive a fair trial. Both sides will be heard. He is a judge who will let you try your case -- and, most importantly, who will keep control of his courtroom. A great judge!

This is a gentleman until you think you can treat him lightly. Big mistake. Try your case professionally, well prepared, and with respect for all and you are in good hands.As a former trial adversary I have great respect for him .

I had a trial before him several years ago. He said some incredibly injudicious things to me at side-bar, including using the "f" word to tell me what he thought of me. I've appeared before a lot of tough judges over the years, but I've never been confronted with such over-the-top bullying. My client won the trial, but I'd be very happy never to set foot in Judge Bellantoni's courtroom again.
