This is a no nonsense Judge. With that being said a fair Judge. I have been a Probation Officer for 25years. When a probationer receives probation and is told what is expected, he or she is told that if they violate there Probation(Queens Cases)they will go before Judge Wong. He is one of the only Judge where Probationers know his reputation as a no nonsense Judge,95% of any Queens cases I receive stay arrest free b/c they know the possibility of jail is a reality.We need more Judges like Judge Wong sitting on the bench. Bravo Judge Wong!!!!!!!! P.S If you read the comments by defense Atty.don't listen. The one Atty got it right,give him something to work with. He is extremely fair,many cases before him and he always gets it RIGHT!!!!!

Most unreasonable and clearly is misguided in any sense of fairness or justice he thinks he might actually possess.
I am personal witness to his Court room and calendar, and can say first hand that he is obiously misguided in delivering sentencing, and clearly is using the bench as a cathartic tool for his personal agenda, and has no sense of responsibility for administering justice in the Queens County community that his position as Judge requires him serve.
I personally witnessed him sentence an elderly man to 9 months and a five thousand dollar fine after the man turned himself in on a warrant for a non violent crime and on the same calendar in the same morning sentence discharge any restitution obligation in exchange for a six month sentence for a defendant who plead to an armed robbery charge who was recently arrested for menacing a federal employee with a Pit Bull and a gun. Unbelieveable!

A miserable, grumpy, short-tempered lousy judge. Comes in late. No regard for any defendant or defense counsel in his courtroom. Doesn't want to hear any argument or point of view other than what he has come into the courtroom with. Awful.

He is a tough judge but fair if you give him something to work with. He is willing to put defendants in programs to help them.But if defendants continuosly mess up, he has no problem giving out heavy sentences. He knows the law and nothing gets by him

I thought he was OK. He dismissed a case on legal grounds that I was not even aware of. So I did not have to say much. He seemed to know the law.

He is rude, disgustingly biased, has pet lawyers, and is a jerk. Other than that, off the bench he can be a nice guy.
