This woman......rushed my divorce along because she saw I was getting the best out of my ex's wife attorney...I trapped her...made her admit I wasn't working....Stack realizing she would have to pay me...adjourned the case...then called eisman in family court to have me removed from the home after she the ex left voluntarily....she ordered my ex's attorneys to file the signed stipulations ...7 years later...still not filed..I have to fight for evry little thing based on her decisions....shes too old and too biased toward women.....

There is a reason New York has a mandatory retirement age for judges. This is one that should not have been permitted to return as a judicial hearing officer. At one time she was an excellent judge, but sadly that is no longer the case. Unfortunately, she does not recognize her own limitations and therefore berates and attempts to humilate the attorneys that currently appear before her whenever they dare to attempt to explain their position.
