Comments:
In our case, Judge Ambrosio totally discounted the testimony of our expert witness, an internationally known arborist. Judge Ambrosio knowingly created five zoning non-compliances and two environmental non-compliances with his decision. He accepted as factual two surveys performed by the plaintiffs' surveyor which resulted in the surveyor being disciplined for professional misconduct by the NYS Education Department. He disregarded this same surveyor's admitted withholding of evidence.

He's a neo Nazi committed to the destruction of black families. No conscious. Called me a Nigger once. A real modern day Hitler.

He's a neo Nazi committed to the destruction of black families. No conscious. Called me a Nigger once. A real modern day Hitler. I could no longer work in the court after experiencing his after hours racist rants. I believe he may drink on the job, that would explain the mood swings. Overall he's mentally and emotionally unfit for the job at hand.

He is corrapted as mach as Garson was.
His decisions have no mercy to children,their wellbeing and future.
He is making double dipping in his calcullations, ignores facts, kills financially side that he does not like,completely ignoring existence of children. He is a shame for our Juditial system.

This is the worst judge I have ever seen sitting on the bench he will make remarks to people like Esther w who was charged bribing his friend Ex judge Garson when she was on trial for the Garson matter and before him on a custody case he was removed back to family court he should be removed from the the courts
