Judge Sheri Eisenpress
Court: Rockland County Supreme Court (Matrimonial Part)
Location: Rockland County, New York
Judge Sheri Eisenpress has drawn serious allegations regarding nepotism, financial conflicts, and possibly racketeering. A 2024 Frank Report investigation accuses her of participating in a “cash-for-kids racket,” benefitting attorneys with whom she vacations and shares social connections, especially Miller Ziederman Law Firm. A whistleblower dossier suggests her former clerk and one of Fogarty’s lawyers are close associates—raising conflict-of-interest concerns.
The case affected a mother, Sai Malena Jimenez-Fogarty, who reports dumpstered personal belongings, no access to marital assets, and supervised visitation enforced for 2½ years—despite the father’s waning income. Court order details indicate Eisenpress personally handed a visiting father’s card to the ex-husband in open court—a move labeled “unprecedented and ethically questionable.” Private investigator claims allege an active RICO-style corruption investigation by the Southern District of New York.
Her courtroom has been described as “a playground for connected lawyers,” while critics say she uses judicial power to reward insiders and punish those who don’t curry favor. Advocacy groups urge disciplinary review.
