As an NYC Civil Court Judge, I will be a humble servant of the law and of the People of this amazing city. In my courtroom, justice will not be a benefit reserved only to those with titles, wealth, privilege, pedigree, or status. It will be available to all, and it will be meted out with kindness, sound factual and legal reasoning, and respect for the people, laws, and institutions that make NYC a city like no other. Therefore, I promise to bring the Constitution to life in my courtroom and to make Lady Justice proud.
  • I will always interpret the LAW rationally, dispassionately and consistent with my oath to uphold the laws and constitutions of this great City, State, and Nation. In my courtroom, no one will be above the law.
  • I will always LISTEN to the parties who come before me. Their relevant arguments will receive my full consideration. In my courtroom, no one will need to possess a law degree or “speak like a lawyer” to be heard and respected.
  • Intellectual honesty, logical consistency, compassion, sympathy, fealty to the law and common sense will, together, serve as the foundation of my JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY. I will strive to ensure just outcomes, within the bounds of the law and judicial discretion, in all I adjudicate.
Public policy matters are best addressed, first, by our elected Legislative and Executive Branch leaders. Judicial candidates should remain neutral on such matters, as judicial review thereof may become necessary.
In supporting my election to be the next NYC Civil Court Judge, you are supporting someone whose career path has always arced in the direction of service to others. As a public defender with The Legal Aid Society of NYC, I fought tirelessly for my clients in trial courtrooms in every borough of NYC, and in the New York State appellate courts. I won dismissals of hundreds of cases, reversals of convictions obtained unlawfully, and I negotiated countless favorable dispositions that spared my clients jail, onerous probation or parole requirements, and the potential loss of employment, immigration status, parental rights or housing. Most importantly, I made certain that my clients’ voices and concerns were heard, and their rights respected and protected. In my courtroom as a NYC Civil Court Judge, I will ensure that the rights of all before me are respected as sacrosanct.
