Comments


Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: NY12117
Rating:1.1
Comments:
“Judge” Teresi is unquestionably the MOST biased and MOST incompetent judge in the entire state-wide court system. Not surprisingly, he has been critically sanctioned TWICE by the NYSCJC.
He should have been removed and disbarred long ago.
A more miserable and incompetent individual would be hard to find - anywhere - in any profession or job.

Litigant

Comment #: NY12116
Rating:1.0
Comments:
This Judge and other judges in Albany, in my experience, have no grasp on the term subject matter jurisdiction.

I believe this is elementary in law school.

Civil Litigation - Private

Comment #: NY4986
Rating:2.7
Comments:
See the Judicial Conduct Commission sanctions against him for, inter alia, improper ex parte conversations.

Civil Litigation - Govt.

Comment #: NY4187
Rating:4.0
Comments:
Your experience before Teresi will depend on whether he takes his meds in the morning. Sometimes you get Good Joe; other times you get Crazy Joe. Good Joe can be charming. Bad Joe is disrespectful and demeaning towards attorneys and has no business being on any bench.

Criminal Defense Lawyer

Rating:5.8
Comments:
He has a reputation, and from what I have seen, it is deserved. I'll leave it at that.
