Comments:
Horrible judge. Appears to not have a full understanding of the CPLR.

Rude and far from impartial. One of the worst encountered in NYC.

His decisions are well-researched and well thought out (even though he keeps ruling against me). He will soon be regarded as a great judge.

I just tried a case in front of Judge Mendez. It was a fair experience. He lets the attorneys try their case and acts as a "gatekeeper". It was a great experience. We need more judges like him!

Judge and his court attorney are incompetent. Judge decides cases before him on improper basis. Appears to be racist.
