Dr. Richard A. Amato passed over one (1) year ago. I recently read with interest the story written in the Merrick Patch and various comments of the family. I was touched. I also searched the Court website. The case Suffolk County Docket 022770/2010 is marked settled, abated by death. Every family has problems, but did this Judge have to ruin this man? Don't you think his family will suffer forever with guilt, hate, or other painful feelings because this man's life was cut short and the family did not have the opportunity to resolve their differences? Judge Mackenzie, couldn't you give the wife her money from his portion of the sale of the house or refer it to trial, which is what you do with most motions? Did you have to put him in jail? For three (3) months? Was it necessary to ruin him, demoralize him, and make his lose his dignity? Everyone is aware of Judge Mackenzie's relationship with Judge Robert A. Lifson (who was not re-elected and supported by the political party because of it and then became a Court Clerk) and her friend Judge Joan Genchi. It is time for someone to represent the voices of people that are not heard. It is time for someone to find out what has gone on behind the scenes with attorneys who have their pocketbook at heart, rather than the client's best interest in mind, and attorneys who attend getaway business vacations with Judges so they can obtain their favor, i.e. so the Judges do not have to work and decide complicated issues in a fair, decent, and respectful manner. Rest in peace Dr. Amato and may his family also find peace. I do not know what else to say to express my sincere heartfelt condolences to Dr. Amato's family and my disappointment with Judge Mackenzie.

It was 2017.. I have compete proof the opposing lawyer submitted false notarized documents but this judge would not let me present my case. Guilty until proven innocent but you can't prove your not guilty. I read she retired so she's sitting on a big undeserved pension.

Also many lawyers would not take my case because of who the judge was, They wished me luck and sent me on my way. I had to hire a complete incompetent from Brooklyn who I fired while we were leaving the court room

I to was run over by this supposed judge. I had complete documentations that the paper work submitted by opposing council was falsified, I had the original documents vs. the ones submitted to the court. These were certified and notarized as true. No one cared. I presented a case to the Suffolk county bar and the NYS courts system about the judge. They just blew me off.

I am pursuing a political avenue to remove MacKenzie from the bench. Her next re-election is in November 2019 and I am prepared to see this through.

If you have any information that can help, including Case Numbers, Appeals, background info, Attorneys with grudges, Attorneys who have financially donated to her election campaigns, advocates for judicial victims, the appropriate connections to set up a Political Action Committee, or anyone that could donate their services (including Social Media ad campaigns), please reach out to me as this is time sensitive.

Thank you.

Please contact me at [protected]. I have a very similar story of a friend who went through he same thing when getting a divorce. No one listened to his side of the story (despite proof, testimony from credible witnesses etc...) and he was also pushed to the edge because of the unfairness in mcKenzie’s courtroom. Hank god he is alive today. He will never regain what he lost despite all the money he spent on attorney’s fees, etc...please call, there is so much more to this story.

Madelyn,

Your contact info is blocked out. I would like to hear more, but unfortunately I cannot see your email address.

That said, I got Carol MacKenzie removed from the bench in June 2019. It may take some time, but she will see justice. Keep an eye on the news.

Apparently this man's suicide has had no effect of this Judge. She continues to threaten and abuse litigants in her courtroom. I have no idea why or how the powers that be allow this to happen. Why is no one supervising this Judge? How can our elected officials not step in to protect their constituents? There is desperate need for a checking of power and more user friendly ways to deal with out of control judges. The recourse of appeal is time and cost prohibitive for most, and she knows it, so she continues to issue outrageous orders at the expense of those that came before her seeking impartiality and justice, all the while enjoying the protection of judicial immunity, which keeps her from being accountable for her actions.
