Hagler is a fair judge. He has nice a temperament and demeanor. Seasoned and calm, even when the attorneys are not. He doesn't bite and appears deferential to all sides. A good model for how judges should conduct themselves.

this judge pretends to know the law, yet, law is not his strogest suit. He does not grasp legal issues, and loves to hand out default judgements with no merit

I had a motion with Judge hagler were plaintiff was attempting to default my client in a case where it clrearly had no possible liability. Judge Hagler got the arguments immediately and issued the legally correct decision. The arguments were simple and obvious but that is not always a guarantee the judge will understand them in some NY courtrooms. So it was nice to have the judge see what was going on easily. Also, the judge clearly knew the plaintiff's counsel and had a very favorable view of them, but ruled easily in my favor despite that because the law required it. So that was refreshing.

Never have I encountered a jurist with such a disinclination to render a decision. Perhaps it is mere laziness of Slo Mo and his staff.

Going to see Judge Hagler is what going to court should be like. He is prepared, legally curious, fair to all, a very hard worker and excellent at discerning the need for, and conducting, settlement decisions.

I had an appearance before Judge Hagler on 10/2/17. Although it was split decision, neither side getting all it wanted that day, Justice Hagler was extremely well-prepared and organized, understood the case fully from all angles, and really helped the parties to steer the case to a resolution. Both sides appreciated his efforts.

From his Talmudic education, I hoped for more insight. Judge Hagler does not want to do any work. . Based upon what pops into his head, he makes sudden impulsive decisions.

I am a person being sued for collection of divorce attorney fees which I have contested are unreasonable - I have found S. Hagler to be every thing I could ask for in a judge for such a matter - reasonable and willing to listen to both sides - it doesnt hurt my inclination that he found in my favor, though, i should admit

I have been before him both pro se and with an attorney defending me. He was smart, fair and courteous to both me and my attorney. He bends over backwards to give every side the opportunity to defend their position, and bases his rulings on the law. You can't ask for more than that!
