This judge was totally in bed with the state department of education. There was clearly back door conversations happening that allowed for the state ed department to upload whole new documents after I issued my response to their documents. This judge denied my motion to strike the new documents and didn't bat an eye. How in the world is this ok in the 21st century? Don't we have computers that can tell on these judges when stuff like this happens? Lord help us!

A delightful judge who will most likely move to higher judicial positions. He is fair, committed to the truth, and wise regarding the facts.

Judge Ferrara is a phenomenal trial judge, before whom I recently had the privilege of trying a DWI case. He is punctual, practical, thoughtful, tough when necessary and has a great sense of humor. Although I did not agree with all of his rulings on evidence, it was obvious that he was attentive to the arguments and made a careful analysis before rendering his decisions.

I was the foreman of a jury for a gun possession trial that ended this past week. Judge Ferrara was thoughtful, articulate, edifying, and made a difficult process move smoothly. He is clearly committed to the process, and is both passionate and compassionate.

I have had the pleasure of being on a DWI trial before Judge Ferrara this past week. He is professional, articulate and well versed in the law. He has no patience for nonsense and works hard. He is concerned about not wasting the time of the lawyers, litigants and jury. Anyone who thinks about becoming a judge should watch Judge Ferrara for a week to see how it's done right. Polite and stern at the same time. He could preside over a criminal or civil trial and all involved would feel like they got a fair shake from this judge. I am looking forward to my next opportunity to try a case before Judge Ferrara.

Here is a honorable Judge if there ever was one.
Extremely thoughtful, knowledgeable on the law, experienced, honest, and even handed.
Every judge in New York State should be like him.
