JUDICIAL BIAS IS INSANE WITH HER

She’s a magistrate now operating with complete bias towards men. I had a notarized letter from my ex agreeing to an amount she didn’t want to see it she rolls her eyes and scoffs at me passing glances that are condescending as if she believes nothing I have to say. She had an opinion before I walked ...through her door. I will be requesting for a new magistrate because this is not acceptable how she doesn’t grill the person seeking but the victim of that person is already seen as an evasive liar and not allowing a single word in regards to prior agreed upon arrangements.

Jen

Child Support Hired Attorney Jennifer Ann Mendelsohn Unfortunately, after suffering an unforeseen financial circumstance which reduced my income by over $100K annually, I hired a bum to assist with my CS hearing, and received bum representation. I actually listened by the door of the hearing room... while Jen, my exes attorney and the Hearing Examiner, Alethia Fields, (a glorified attorney), all laughed about how they wanted to have me incarcerated. I immediately fired Jen as my attorney, requested the hearing examiner recuse herself from the case or at least make an effort to bathe, because she always smelled like coconut lotion with a hint of catfish. Thereafter, I walked out of the hearing room with my ex and worked out a deal that benefitted our children. I did feel a bit bad when I saw Jen tearing up outside the courtroom, however, I feel she is a bit thin-skinned and overreacted. Ultimately, the facts are clear. In addition to paying spousal support, I have paid several hundred thousand dollars in child support.

Horrible Himan

Absolute C*nt of a human being. I have never in my life seen someone be so biased towards pro se litigants. She’s should not be allowed to be behind the bench.

She is curpt as sin

To take it to the most basic of civil rights and laws no one with a TBI should ever represent themselves in a United States courtroom for any reason. And every senor court officer such as Support Magistrate John Raimondi should know that. I believe they are running a criminal enterprise and I wonder ...how many hundreds if not thousands of people Mr. Raimondi and the Suffolk County court system as scammed this way. And continue to scam to this day.
