In their own words - people who have been before Judge Cholakis

http://www.newyorkcitizenone.com/index.php/component/tag/kiki-cholakis

In seeking out verified accounts of abuses by Catherine "Kiki" Cholakis, Rensselaer Family Court Judge, we came across this from New York Citizen One, who did a great job exposing Cholakis' failings when she ran for Supreme Court last year.

While some of the links are now broken, we have found some of the videos Citizen One referred to and posted them on our Pages.

New York Citizen One: "Seems Judge KiKi has some issues….and it seems as if a few folks have gone out of their way to let everyone know. (I didn’t edit the writings…lord knows, I have enough issues editing myself.)

Granting Visitation to an Abusive Drug Addict

Judge Catherine Cholakis had granted visitation to my son's father who was physically abusive to me in the presense of the child as well as a drug addict. He had abused his own mother who is now ordered to supervise the visits. She has also asked in court "Why isnt Dad asking for more time?" I am absolutely appaled by her decision. My own lawyer told me that "The way she sees it is that just because Dad was abusive to Mom it doesnt mean that he will be to the child." That is absolutely absurd. I am now court ordered to let my son go hours away because this judge doesnt seem to mind that the child is directly in harms way by going with this person.

JUDGE CATHERINE CHOLAKIS RENSSELEAR COUNTY FAMILY COURT SHOULD BE DISBARRED

I was a witness in the court room of Judge Catherine Cholakis. Judge Cholakis needs to be disbarred. She has been sent for judicial review but she has her law clerk turn the microphone off so all her awful comments aren’t heard. She doesn’t know one case to the next. All she has done is made threats to a mother who is trying to protect her son. The father and the mother were supposed to go see the court psychologist. The judge said whoever doesn’t go will have to pay the county $500 and she will not like that person. The father didn’t go, and she yelled at the mother and said " I would have expected this out of you" Then on another occasion she was yelling at the mothers lawyer who was trying to have her read the CPS reports, she said to the mother you are smirking and if u want to smirk then I will make something bad happen!! The mothers lawyer said my client wasn’t smirking she hasn’t said 2 words. the mother said the same thing, and again the judge threatened to take the child away from the mother, and put the lawyer in contempt. The law guardian Jo- Katz is useless as well. CPS wrote a report that the boy was getting abused. The Law guardian said it was the mother. She has never even met the child, and when asked to meet the child she said she doesn’t like to talk to children. She wouldn’t look at documentation from CPS or the doctors. But the father has been indicated 3 times for neglect/maltreatment, And the CPS report states its all the father as well as the childs doctors. The one good thing that Cholakis said to the Law Guardian was the CPS reports indicates the father and that the mother is doing a great job with her son. but then she starts to laugh some more about the CPS report that indicates the father who is abusing his son! The Law Guardian is in the same lawyers office as the father. The judge laughed at the reports from CPS and the doctors, wouldn’t listen to the police who went on behalf of the mother to say what kind of state the child was in when he wasn’t brought home from his weekend visit, and made the mother go to the emergency room ASAP! What does it have to take for the judge to do her job? Another child get killed? Something really need to be done!!

Judge Catherine Cholakis Helping crook rip off old ladies estate

When it comes to Judge Cholakis there is no way to work in the word honorable and still keep a straight face. Shes a despicable disgrace to the bench and the entire legal system. That corrupt Judge assisted a crook Robin Dillon in the stealing of the entire estate of Joan M James of Rensselaer NY while acting as the executrix of the estate and threating protecting orders and bogus criminal charges, on any one that attempted to bring the crook to account for the deeds. Now the judge is trying to force the rightful owners of a house to sign it over to the crook, and trying to prevent the assets being transfered threw the probate court which is who should have jurisdiction over a probate and property dispute. The crook was allowed to enter any thing they made up in to evidence and the other side was not allowed to even speak or answer a single question with out the judge telling them what answer's to give and what to say. She is even allowing the crook to use an order of protection as a shield against being served a summons to go to court to account for the funds that the executrix and the judge conspired to steal. She needs to be removed from the bench.

Sure, a judge is always going to have some complaints but Cholakis had 72….Breslin had 4. I didn’t even know what KiKi looked like so I looked for some images…or videos. I found a few….again, Campaign KiKi…you need to do some search engine strategy and smother the “bad” stuff. Ask HHR for a tutorial.

Here’s an audio of a claimant discussing KiKi’s hatred for him…the lawyer acknowledges that the judge just hated him…apparently, that qualifies you for being a WFP endorsed judge. This one’s outrageous.

In this one, da Judge threatens a father with jail when he tries to go on record about possible child endangerment….from the transcript (with inserts):

 Julie Chang, represented by Attorney Carla Brogoch and Attorney Ellen Schell, testified to the following on March 23, 2005:

 ELLEN SCHELL, ESQ.: What do you think about the feasibility of continuing to share joint custody with Mister Chang?

PETITIONER JULIE CHANG: Would be - it would - there's no way it would work.

ELLEN SCHELL, ESQ.: And why is that?

PETITIONER JULIE CHANG: Because I don't want to have to continue for the rest of their lives until they're twenty-one, every time we wanna go on a vacation, every time they want to go to their grandparents(who Julie Ingram accused of raping her), every time we want to take them on a cruise (with her boyfriend, NY State Trooper Joseph Carpenter), or Mexico (with her boyfriend, NY State Trooper Joseph Carpenter), or whatever, once a year, we try to take the kids somewhere. I would have to go to Court. Every single –

PETITIONER JULIE CHANG: - time –

THE COURT: - my recollection, Julie, do you not have joint custody or do you have sole custody?

PETITIONER JULIE CHANG: - a joint legal -

“The Honorable Catherine Cholakis Family Court of Rensselaer County Troy, New York. Judge Catherine Cholakis threatens litigant with jail for objecting in order to protect the court record from misrepresentations of courtroom events by Judge Cholakis. Judge repeatedly refused to hear facts on child endangerment , child abuse, and stalking/harassment by Julie Chang.

...I'm glad Judge KiKi got the endorsement from the looneybin…I wish she didn’t have the endorsement of my friends in the GOP and the Conservative Parties. I sit in an awful lot of courtroom and NEVER have I heard a Judge act like this…though, I’ve got a feeling that if the WFP ever had their way…I’d hear an awful lot more of it. While I’ve not heard anything as unprofessional as both of the judges in the above videos, I can say I’ve heard worse judging, but that’s because I’ve observed the legendary HHR.
