Tandra L. Dawson

What we have here is a person with a personal vendetta. She's a disgrace and it's unfortunate the system has someone like her ruining the cities potential families amd children's lives. If she saw these comments, I mean I personally would step down. But, she's a narcissistic fool who likes her power.

Had the joy of being in court with her majesty and her handpicked floozies. agree with many comments here. Court is run by her assistants not her. dawson is always distracted and not paying attention to proceedings. criminal negligent behavior. saw the afc and cps in action as well- ganging up against the other side- judge seemed to be enjoying it and smacking her lips. can i say outright bias? word to the wise- get out her court and twillight zone. easy to deal with agency atty negligence- just file a report and have them pulled up.

Least educated and experienced 'judge' in our system despite spending so many years here. No one wants to work with her- many court attorneys have left. We have an insiders poll on how many days this newest one will last. Court-staff is criminal, selling notes and records, We see her and her handpicked attorneys surfing the web during trial proceedings all the time. NY taxpayers, this is where your money is going and lining the pockets of the expensive attorneys the poor saps hire. Word to the wise- get her out of the system before any more families are destroyed. And I am suppose to be on the same side as her.

Ever heard of a banana republic court? I invite you to the court of Tandra Dawson to see for yourself. So many of her decisions are reviewed, appealed and in general frowned upon. The single most uneducated judge I have seen in my career, can't handle family law (no knowledge), doesn't listen to the male testimony or evidence. Openly proclaimed her decision during a conference one year before trial (!). All recorded of course. Hates motion practice or anything that [Redacted by Ed.]. Always picks the monkey Michael Scherz as back up and they have destroyed many families. Inattentive in court, totaly biased and one-sided. How many appeals is it going to take before she is censured and disrobed. Fraternizes with criminal defense attorneys all the time. Her entire court is a shame- wrong, incomplete procedures all the time. My advice- go through the motions with this [Redacted] and then drag her through 1st dept. - they will wake up eventually and kick her out.

Here are some more juicy updates from her majesty's court. In this case, her majesty is the puppet being played by NYC's #1 slimeball, aka Mike Scherz. Check the private emails of dawson and scherz to each other- will be fun. This dynamic duo scratches each other, no one else wants to work with them. stinks of collusion. Take a look at the court appearances or msg me privately and I'll send you the previous and future appearances.

This is judge has always degraded me and taunts me in the court room trying to get me to somehow be angry to favor the mother, Tandra is not a fair judge with my case at all, she has so much misconduct going on under her watch its a disgrace, the mother has had multiple failure to appears keeping my child hostage in another country based on a visiting consent that I signed for my daughter to visit family in Canada and I planned to pick my child up within the 90 days of her passport visit but the mother had me falsely arrested on domestic violence charges before her flight to Canada to stop me from picking her up and change everything for relocating my daughter in Canada, there was no evidence, no proof, no nothing just say so and Tandra believes all of this and keeps it over my head for six years now even though all the charges were dismissed she still treat me like I still did this which is not fair, Ive shown up to every court appearance while the mother failed to appear on many many multiple times and Tandra lets her go totally free, and then the failure to appears were so bad with the mother she had her custody petition thrown out and had a warrant up to almost 6 months still keeping my child away from me in Canada and then one day Tandra decides to lift the warrant when the mother decides she ready to come to court now and not only that Tandra decides to let the mother refile her petition when my petition should have already been awarded for when the mothers petition was thrown out as the mother had a warrant for her arrest for all the failure to appears and not bringing my child back, so now we are currently on trial and in the middle of it Tandra is now admitting my rap lyrics from my music recordings from a year ago and is now using it against me telling me I will never have unsupervised visits with my child now no matter what happens with this trial, I never said any names, I never said anything violent or threatening I told the story in a song the same way

I don't think this judge has any understanding of what Parental Alienation is. She is either over worked or just blind. Probably both. Look at these reviews!!! Not looking good.

Horrible. Abysmal. Disgraceful. Incompetent.

Have yet to see someone as incompetent and high-handed as this shining light of our state's legal system. Always canceling or postponing appearances. More than 80% of the cases in our office are held up because of her. Fraternizes very closely with several in the DA's office and attorneys. Big conflicts of interest. A shame and a blot on the NYS judicial system. Many other talented and dedicated keepers of the law work hard and for the people. All of their work is brought to nought because of bad apples like her- 'Judge' Dawson- what a joke.

I would like to bring to light some very disturbing behavior by this judge and her court. I am afraid for my life and career and want to officially file a whistleblower complaint- but don't know how to do so. Judge Dawson has been one of the worst judges I have seen in my career with the NY Supreme Court system (she is in IDV- Integrated Domestic Violence). She never comes prepared and delivers arbitrary and on-the-spot and extremely biased statements and judgements. It is an open secret that she basically has no knowledge of family law despite all her years in the same line of practice. Appearances in her court are a mess and she parrots the ill-informed statements of equally incompetent close associates who she chooses as court-appointed lawyers. One good example is Michael D. Scherz, who himself is a disgrace to the legal practice community. Together, they have destroyed the lives and livelihoods of many parents and have destroyed countless families. The court itself is a joke and they make so many errors that it is a miracle that more cases have not been brought up for re-trial or directly tossed out. Look up previous complaints against Dawson. In any other system, she would have been fired or suspended a long time ago. There are of course more internal reports against her as well. I openly challenge anyone (knowledgeable about IDV) to contradict any of my statements here.

An outstanding jurist; she treats every lawyer with respect, and even when you walk out of the court and lost your argument, you still feel that you got a fair shot.

I would give this judge a 2. She is dismissive, biased and lazy.
