Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: NY6687
Rating:3.9
Comments:
Unbelievable bias against landlords. Still thinks he is with legal aid services. Shows cronism with city employees.

Criminal Defense Lawyer

Comment #: NY5161
Rating:6.5
Comments:
He is verbose, and cases move slowly in his courtroom. He talks down to everyone, even court staff. But he does begrudgingly rule in favor of defendants a lot. "You're a piece of crap, and if I ever see you in my courtroom again I'm gonna...No bail." Puzzling.

From my observations, Judge Kulkin has a thorough knowledge of criminal law, handles a busy docket very well and has good energy and temperament on the bench. He has shown true judicial courage in the face of absurd criticisms and pressure from the Newburgh police chief and administration.

Self-absorbed, rude and biased. He has been publicly censured and is held in contempt by most attorneys in this area. It is a disgrace that he is still on the bench.
