She is the worst of the worst. She must have great connections to even be on the bench. It is amazing that she exists as a judge.

Comments:
Her court attorney is nasty, arrogant, abusive and not very bright. Ironically Judge Diamond's temperment and intellect is on par with her court attorney. They are a miserable match made in heaven.

Nasty and arrogant. Horrid judicial temperment. Terrible judge. She might be smart, hard to cut past the bias and meanness.

Supports her biases with factually inaccurate statements and sloppy reasoning.

Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: NY841
Rating:1.5
Comments:
Not emotionally or intellectually stable. While a matrimonial judge she advised counsel for both sides that "under no circumstances does she ever decide custody." This after we had settled all the other issues. She suggested a "referee" because "I hate these cases and so I don't try them." When both counsel advised her that we were in agreement that this one issue required trial by the court and that as a matrimonial judge that was her role, she said, "Sure, but not gonna happen." Arrogant and abusive to all sides equally. Should not be a judge - period. The most unstable judge I have ever encountered. Demonstrated no interest in the case nor in anything either counsel had to say. Her incompetence, instability and attitude scared the clients into settling the case.

In any rational legal system, this judge would not be permitted to decide cases.
