Doris M. Gonzalez

A handful of positive comments here use virtually identical phrasing, and are clearly posted by the judge herself and/or by her staff at her direction. So they represent Justice Gonzalez's "answer", if you can call it that, to the astonishingly consistent criticism she receives from the bar. Basically, she congratulates herself for 3 things: "tough, but fair", "you better know your case" and "she's finally moving cases". Well, in the immortal words of Quenting Tarantino, allow me to retort. "Tough". Depends on your definition of "tough". We're talking about a judge who is so intellectually bankrupt and has an ego so fragile, she never issues a written decision, lest it be reversed on appeal. Being an equal-opportunity asshole towards people under your authority isn't being "tough"; it's just your good old bullying. Like most sadistic, petty tyrants, when faced with someone in a position of authority over her, she is a miserable coward who lacks the courage of her convictions. "Fair": There is nothing "fair" about a court that operates in secret. That's right: she operates a secret court. No record of the proceedings is ever made. No written decision is ever issued. There is no surer way to incur this judge's wrath than to politely ask her to reduce her crackpot pronouncements to a written decision that you can then take to the Appellate Division. Ask for a court reporter, and she'll threaten to sanction you, your boss, your firm, your dentist, your dog walker, your client and your client's mom. Moreover, only lawyers on one case at a time are admitted into her courtroom, so there is never a disinterested witness to what goes on inside. Not only is this not fair in a general sense -- only a judge who knows she's doing wrong and wants to evade responsibility for her wrongdoing would want her court to be secret; it's palpably unconstitutional. Absent a compelling reason for secrecy to protect the interests of the parties (not the judge) legal proceedings

Been practicing before this judge for over 10 years. Not once did she fail to treat me like garbage. She goes out of her way to berate, humiliate and dehumanize. Even if you "win", she'll still make it very clear she considers you trash. It's not just me; a couple of phoney-baloney positive reviews here aside, she is universally hated. Her favorite 2 phrases are "I don't care" and "It's not my problem" -- it's, like, 90% of everything she says. Doesn't read papers, doesn't know the law, comes on the bench unprepared and just berates people for having inconvenienced her by making her do her job. A disgrace to the legal system and a disgrace to humanity.

When a judge declares, "I don't care," she signals a malaise and arrogance to the public. This judge is a disgrace to the bench. She has zero ability to settle cases and showed no eagerness to fulfill her function. I wonder out loud why she just doesn't just go away. She's much better off working alone in a cubicle.
