Peter Kelly

Kelly’s mother, Mary Ann Kelly, served as Democratic district leader and that's how he got all his employment. He went straight into the court system after graduation as a law secretary. He's a little man with a napoleon complex and leans 100 % towards the democratic party. Seen him decide election matters in favor of democrats before even hearing any evidence. Another hack who couldn't make it on the outside.

Judges are obliged to be patient, dignified and courteous with all whom they see in their professional capacity and to afford all litigants and their lawyers the opportunity to be heard. This judge doesn’t seem to care about these requirements.

He's awful. He's masquerading as a judge. No manners, no class and no respect for the law or people.

Judge Kelly Improper demeanor and suspect court Clerks take money through democratic committee if criminals treated like this I believe innocent people in jail . 75 percent or more cases go To Settle it’s a lawyers playground 3 years in court and then settle and overlook lawyer withholding vital evidence . Email me if you any To file for improper demeanor he’s mistaken this is not England pomp and circumstance or The 1950s he stuck in threatening in family court no manners lkfootwear@yahoo.com

He's an embarassment to the profession. He abusive, manipulates cases, and disregards the law to stroke his own ego. He should be ashamed of himself.

I've never seen any courtroom run like a dictatorship. Honestly I think he has a Napoleon complex. He will skirt over procedures and the law if it meets his desires. Things like: Service of process, Notice, evidence.... do not mean anything to him. And not just on my cases but on everyone's cases. He doesn't hide his feelings or judgments as he's passing them. He will straight out tell you he doesn't believe you without even listening to testimony or taking evidence. If he's going to skirt the law he's going to call you into chambers to conference. This is a guy you have to keep everything on the record or he will screw you/your client.

Have to be a WOKE democrat just to enter the Court Room. Extremely biased against the average person who appears in front of him. Has his 'ld Boys Club, which he runs in Court on a regular basis. Appoints only his friends and fellow democrats to Guardian Ad Litem positions and award huge fees, for doing little or no work. AVOID queens if you can.

Worst demeanor I have ever seen from a judge. My hope for this judge is that one day he wakes up and realizes he has mistreated people in his courtroom throughout his tenure and that he spends the rest of his life trying to be a decent judge and human being. Unfortunately he is what happens when someone who lacks manners, civility and decency becomes a judge and without ever having been a practicing attorney.

Kelly is the worst Surrogate Judge in the history of the State of New York. He is pollically biased in favor of Democrats. If you are not a member of the Democratic Party of Queen county, you are on his shit list. Always thought that the jackass was the appropriate symbol of the Democratic Party

He’s the worst judge in NYS and maybe the entire country. He embarrasses himself in court everyday. I don’t know how narcissists like him get to be, and stay, a judge.

Don't let rude, discourteous people like Kelly drag you down to their level. Instead, use their behavior as an example of how not to act and be grateful you are nothing like them.

He doesn't treat people in his courtroom with respect, compassion and courtesy.

Unfortunately, he is another example of a judge who never practiced law a day in his life and is consistently disrespectful towards practicing attorneys. If he has the same rude and disrespectful demeanor when he’s not in court, he’s even more of a lost soul that he appears to be in court.

He is abusive in his style. He should revisit what he leaned in kindergarten about manners and treating people with respect. He is emboldened by his black robe to think his behavior is acceptable. I am sure he would never act this way outside of court. In addition to his abusive style, he is also one of the less intelligent judges I have ever encountered. It's a disgrace that he is a judge. There is nothing noble or "judge-worthy" here.

`Another political hack who got the job for the wrong reasons. More concerned about moving cases than getting them right.

Arrogance reigns supreme with this judge.

Don’t expect to be treated with dignity and consideration in his courtroom. He lacks basic civility skills.

Suffers from an advanced case of Black Robe Syndrome.

Unfortunately, there is nothing honorable about how this individual became a judge or how he acts on the bench. He should be ashamed of himself.
