Independent public-information platform. Not affiliated with the New York State Unified Court System.

Ratings and reviews reflect individual user experiences and are not findings of judicial misconduct, attorney misconduct, illegality, bias, corruption, or professional discipline. Official findings are displayed separately and linked to their authoritative source.

Public experience

Experience score and confidence

Derived only from verified reviewer feedback, with the full formula published. This is not an official measure of performance.

By case type

No case-type breakdown yet.

How this rating is calculated
  • Only published reviews from verified reviewers count toward the score.
  • Each review is weighted by verification: verified person ×0.5, verified case participant ×1, document-supported ×1.5, official-record-confirmed ×2. Unverified (level 0) reviews are weighted ×0 and never move the score.
  • Each category is the weighted mean of 1–5 answers, rescaled to 0–100 as (mean − 1) ÷ 4 × 100.
  • The overall score is the unweighted mean of the category scores that received at least one answer.
  • Reviews flagged by the review-integrity engine as possible coordinated activity are excluded from the score and reported separately.
  • No overall score is published below 5 verified reviews.
  • Confidence reflects verified review count, number of distinct cases, recency and verification strength — never the sentiment of the reviews.

Separation of evidence

Claim ledger

Public feedback, document-supported claims and official findings are counted separately and never merged into a single accusation number.

Metadata analysis — not an adjudication

This pulls every docket and decision the public court-records API returns for this judge's name, then flags patterns from dates and captions alone: long-pending cases, appellate reversals, child and family safeguards, civil-rights claims. Flags are prompts to read the record, never conclusions about the judge.
