Philip V. Cortese

* Forgot to add...Phil was threatened because my ex is a government snitch for serious drug cases. He is working off all his felonies and is quite effective at his job and won't leave NYS until his crimes are rectified. Phil is weak!!!!! " OF COUNSEL" he is now? What a f@@@ing joke!!! His law license should of been taken away!!! I see pictures of him, Mr. Napoleon complex on Facebook at Disneyland, where he lives, it makes me sick!! You don't deserve a family as you have ripped so many apart!! I can only imagine what hell your family has to go through to simply survive.

Phil, Hello and Merry Christmas year 13! I am currently waiting for my son , gifts under tree, breakfast made. My ex picked him up Friday and has not brought him home. There are no orders, he just takes him. The police tell me no order is required, he is 15, he can do what he wants. I'm not joking! Because of my ex influence on him, and the amount of time he spends with him drunk and out of control, he is currently failing every subject in school, he received a 1 in one class...his father asks him to sell Marijuana for him, he smokes with him, buys him vapes, tells him not to listen to me and he should beat the s@!t out of me. Has not paid a dime of child support in 13 years. I received one money order for $50 made out to my 5 year old son eight years ago. I never hated anyone in my life. Phil Cortese aka. Horse ?? Jockey I call him I have hated you year 13!! You are the antichrist!! I HATE YOU!!!! You ruined my life and my child's despite father being a rapist, almost killed my son on several occasions, and Judicial Committee did absolutely nothing with my vast amount of documentation against you. All and all , I received my justice and this is ending for my son and I soon. It took 13 years, however, You will receive your justice soon. HELL HAS A SPECIAL ROBE FOR YOU!I have a nice gift for you too!! ;)

(2 of 2) So, while I was in the midst of supervised one-hour once a week visits with my children, I decided to appeal his decision. And after a long time, the Appeals Court decided Phil had indeed overstepped his bounds on several fronts. It wasn’t a slam dunk, but at least I could see my kids without restriction again, and more importantly; Phil was put on notice. Over the next several years, My (new) attorney and I had to visit Phil’s World whenever my ex- went off the rails, and after some time Phil finally got the point that she was the instigator of most of the problems in the parenting relationship. It didn’t mean much, but seeing her get the brunt of the Short Man's ire was pretty sweet. I think he also realized might risk another appearance before the Court of Appeals. Our last visit was because my ex decided she was going to take my child out of town during the entirety of the holidays, despite Phil himself signing an Order guaranteeing I would see them on Christmas of every year. What followed was Phil admonishing ME for bringing my complaint to the Court, asking me if I wanted to damage my relationship with my child and stating that we would all eventually be at their wedding together. Hey Phil...I’m not the one who violated YOUR Order! Look at my ex and lecture HER: If she didn’t try to screw with my parenting time (like she’s done many times before,) we wouldn’t be in front of you in the first place. At any rate, my youngest is now 18 and this megalomaniac dwarf has no more legal authority to meddle in my family affairs. I count it as one of the best days of my life. All I can say if you’re ever subjected to an appearance in Phil’s World is this: prepare to be steamrolled by some utterly bonkers, criminally unfair decrees; and for God’s sake, please file an appeal with the state Board as soon as you can. He’s due to retire back to his condo in the center of Hell soon, but if he could leave the bench with a censure from the appeals co

I was cursed to meet Phil after my ex failed to drop off my kids for their scheduled weekend. I asked her why she did it, she offered a weak excuse and then left. End of story...no drama, no altercation, nothing. In fact, given the issues we’d had with my ex’s boyfriend in the past my girlfriend recorded the entire interaction to make sure there were no “misunderstandings.” In response, my insane ex-wife wrote a four page missive to the Court that, among other things, accused me of running up to her car, punching the window, yelling at her, beating her repeatedly during our relationship...and killing our family pet. Of course, Phil issued an Order of Protection (which is reasonable, since in legitimate cases of domestic abuse you should get them in place as soon as possible.) But, despite being an accused dog murder, I have no criminal history whatsoever and expected that Phil would dismiss the OP once I appeared and explained what really happened. But after appearing before him (and showing him the video!) he refused to dismiss the OP and instead escalated it to a full stay away order for three years! Huh? I found out far too late that the only time that’s allowed is in incidents of Aggravated Harassment, and harassment in general is defined as repeated incidences of acts intended to annoy, alarm and so on: not a single incident of a Dad asking his ex why the kids weren’t dropped off for parenting time. But in Phil’s world, where he knows the people who appear in front of him are usually poor, misinformed and unlikely to appeal his decisions, he foists whatever ridiculous punishments he feels like dishing out that particular day with impunity. People are just too dumbfounded and afraid to stand up to him. (As an aside; I also had the misfortune of being represented by the former family court Judge, who I later discovered was reputed to be Phil’s mortal enemy. Great, thanks for making me aware of that information before I hired you.) Well, any compet

All I can say if you’re ever subjected to an appearance in Phil’s World is this: prepare to be steamrolled by some utterly bonkers, criminally unfair decrees; and for God’s sake, please file an appeal with the state Board as soon as you can. He’s due to retire back to his condo in the center of Hell soon, but if he could leave the bench with a censure from the appeals court it might help to bring some karmic balance back to the universe.
