Litigant

Comment #: NY13411
Rating:1.0
Comments:
This criminal ruined my financial life. He punished me severely for filing an ethics complaint, signed a ruling that was so errored it 300 in half - 200 and 100. This took 1 year in court to fix. I was forced pro se after my attorney left when I ran out of money. He tortured me in trial and viscerated me in the decision purchase my ex wife’s mother. My first wage garnishment was over $10k per month. I give Bruce a rating of a giant middle finger. I even have an apology letter from court 13 years later, for his behavior.

I agree with all the comments. He is horrible and only cares about how his decision will affect him politically. Couldn't care less about the parties, or the merits.
He would be poorly rated in Honduras
Belongs in DMV

Incompetent judge who lacks backbone.
More susceptible to political influence than the average person on this bench.
Belongs in traffic court.
