Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: NY11350
Rating:10.0
Comments:
My first experience with Judge Buggs was when a medical malpractice matter I was handling was assigned to her. It was my impression this was her first malpractice trial. I was pleasantly surprised by her efforts to resolve the matter. The case had issues on both sides, and hours of conferencing did not settle the matter. Her recommendations and valuation were reasonable. The judge and the court staff were cordial and accommodating in every respect, from scheduling to order of witnesses, to permitting the parties to come earlier and set up the video/projector equipment. (In this courthouse, such deminimis gestures are very appreciated).
In the end the case went in very cleanly. All rulings were fair. The verdict was fair.
All technical and complex issues (peculiar to this particular matter) were resolved on the record and in evenhanded manner. The judge continued to encourage negotiations, clearly having her fingers on the pulse of the proceedings.
My adversary was a gentleman and he too had the same experience with this trial.
Since the trial, I had a number of motions and conferences before Judge Buggs, both as a plaintiff and defendant. My opinion has not changed.

This is a fantastic judge! One of the jewels of Queens Civil Court! Why isn't she is Supreme Court already? She is better than many of the judges in that court. She is even-tempered, timely with her decisions, smart and always has a sense of humor. Generally, she is knowledgeable about the law, but whatever she is unsure of, she will quickly (and accurately) research. I have not always prevailed before her, but she is definitely one of the best judges I've appeared before.

I appeared before this judge for a jury trial earlier this year. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. She allows the attorneys to try their case without unnecessary interruption, and isn't afraid to make tough, but fair rulings on the evidence. All in all, she is one of the best judges before whom I've ever tried a case in Civil Court--and I've been trying cases for over thirty-five years!

Great person and judge who has a solid knowledge of the law, prepares before taking the bench and, also importantly, treats the attorneys and litigants with respect. We most definitely need more judge's like her!
