Charles Finkelstein Approved by NYC and Brooklyn Bar Associations for Civil Court Judge


Charles Finkelstein Approved by NYC and Brooklyn Bar Associations
for Civil Court Judge

The judicial screening panels of both the Association of the Bar of the City of New York and the Brooklyn Bar Association have approved Charles Finkelstein for Civil Court Judge. The announcement came from both associations today.

The Bar Associations were established for the purposes of, among other things, elevating the standards of integrity, honor and courtesy in the legal profession. Both the NYC and Brooklyn associations spoke with Finkelstein’s colleagues and adversaries, as well as judges he’s appeared before, in their screening; all parties found Finkelstein the Civil Judge candidate to have not only the appropriate knowledge of the law and appropriate demeanor, but also the right judicial temperament, integrity, candor and absence of political and other influences.

Finkelstein was a felony prosecutor in the Brooklyn D.A.’s office and an assistant special narcotics prosecutor in Manhattan. He is currently in private practice as a civil and criminal attorney. Finkelstein has been enthusiastically endorsed by Assemblyman Dov Hikind as well as the New York State Court Officers Association.

The primary election for Civil Court Judge will be held Thursday, September 13, 2012.
