Joan M. Azrack

I'm not sure how Judge Azrack has a 8.3 rating. My experience with Judge Azrack is that once she's backed into a corner, she goes silent and avoids ruling as required by a Honorable Judges. She likes to make an example of people who no one other than family and friends have any interest in the person she's ruling on. The prosecutors weren't pushing for any time and she handed down a 2 year sentence for a case that was illegally submitted to her court. When she's made aware of this after the ruling, she goes totally silent. She refuses to rule on any motions presented to her court regarding illegalities that were committed by the prosecutors, breaking the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and the fact that there wasn't a crime that was committed. Proof of this is the fact that if the motions later submitted to her court had no substance or foundation, she could have easily ruled on them, but the mere fact that she's issuing a ruling makes it clear that the motions are accurate in their facts.

a wonderful judge that works hard to treat every litigant thoughfully, fairly and equally. exceptionally opn-minded and patient, willling to listen and to learn. you will be treated fairly and thoughtfully before this judge every time.

Sept. 16 2022 Judge Azrack: The 12 year sentence you imposed on former Nassau County Execuive Ed Mangano was harsh, excessive, and cruel. I do not deny that this man committed crimes and deserves some punishment. But he did not kill anyone., His crimes were not violent, and he is not a danger to society. No one is hiding behind closed doors because Ed Mangano is out on the street. Your sentence serves only to solidify the feeling of many that the law, as administrated by you, is not only unfair but criminal in itself. I am not a Mangano supporter. Never voted for him or his party. But he has been done an enormous injustice, by you! I don't know how you will sleep at night knowing that this old man is behind bars, and may well be, for 12 years!!! I know of violent criminals, really violent criminals, who got less than half that time. [Redacted]

Judge Joan Azrack is a giant at time of despair. Judge Azrack is like the sunshine at the end of a 200 miles of a dark tunnel.If you get Judge Azrack you can rest assured that Justice will prevail.

JMA is smart, sharp & can’t cut thru all the BS instantly — great judge to work before — though a bit partial to the government’s cause. But I’d take a case before her every time.
