To Whom It May Concern,
My name
is Bliss Taylor. I am a very well spoken Nurse and mother of 2
beautiful girls. Unfortunately, I have recently separated from my husband,
Alexander Harris, and had to petition a child support case against him. Having
never gone through anything in the New York City Courts system, I was extremely
filled with anxiety anticipating my first day in court.
Two
minutes into my court hearing, I realized that the magistrate was very snappy.
Being a Nurse, I tend to always look at every individual holistically and I
automatically assumed that Mr. Nicholas Palos was simply having a bad day. I
tried to ignore his snide remarks and condescending demeanor but, as the days
went on after my court date, I realized that there was something more to Mr.
Nicholas Palos’ arrogance.
In
court, I was yelled at for not letting Mr. Nicholas Palos finish his statement.
The problem is, I couldn’t hear the magistrate over the disrespectful giggles
of my soon to be ex-husband on the other side of the court room. I attempted to
let Mr. Nicholas Palos know this and he assumed that I was cutting him off when
in actuality; Mr. Palos failed to listen to me and never reprimanded my ex for
being disrespectful in his courtroom.
Secondly,
Mr. Nicholas Palos made his deliberations which were fair, based on the fact
that my soon to be ex husband has a very low income. When I was asked to speak
on support related matters, Palos felt the need to make snide remarks against
me in a very cynical and disrespectful tone. He insinuated that I allowed my
husband to file taxes without listing his income received from his security
company. I proceeded to explain to Mr. Palos that I am not responsible for what
my husband files on taxes when I am not present. I began to feel as though Mr. Palos had an
irrational vendetta against me for taking my husband to court for child
support.
When
the question arose regarding what careers my ex husband and I currently have,
my ex responded that he was an Over-The-Road truck driver with a CDL Class A.
Mr. Palos said nothing. When he motioned for me to speak, I stated that I was a
Nurse who recently graduated nursing school with my license. Mr. Palos then
proceeded to ask me if I had completed my nursing program and had proof of it. He
appeared disappointed when I pulled out my nursing license and registration and
attempted to submit the copies to the court. His response: “We will take it on
the next court date.” Why was my ex not asked for proof of his career as well?
I
continued to do more research on Mr. Nicholas Palos using Google and other
resources. I was NOT surprised to find out that this man has a very, very low
rating amongst his peers in the New York City Court System. TheRobingRoom.com
rates Palos at a sad 1.3 out of 10! Words such as misogynistic, belligerent and
incompetent are words found on the internet used to describe this poor excuse
for a magistrate.
Upon
my research, I have spoken to a few other women who have had similar issues
with Nicholas Palos. Luckily, some of
his previous cases that were made public have harsh rulings against the mother’s
who fail to take care of their children and the father’s who have custody of
those children.
In
my honest opinion, as long as this magistrate has power over the lives of
innocent mothers and the livelihood of their children, THERE WILL BE NO JUSTICE
FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS. However, I
guarantee that there will be a trail of
wasted time and adjourned court dates. This man takes full advantage of the
fact that once you enter his court room, there is no one there to witness his
abuse. He knows the court officer and court clerk cannot be witnesses for the
people he abuses in court. And God help you if you show up to court with no
lawyer, the abuse intensifies! He is a bully in every sense of the word.
This
concludes my complaint letter. I have been informed by an inside source that
Mr. Nicholas Palos has a vast amount of complaint letters in his name and they
are usually ignored. I’m sending this letter to make the powers that be aware
that his abuse has not stopped. Please do not hesitate to contact me regarding
this matter.
Respectfully,
Bliss Taylor

Dear Bliss, I have had the unfortunate situation of dealing with magistrate Palos for two years myself. And I can only wholeheartedly agree with every word you wrote. This man is horrible, seems to have a dislike towards women. I am in the process of writing complaint letters to every authority above him, and I am willing to bring this to the attention of elected officials above him. Magistrate Palos has no place in the Family Court system, receiving a salary paid by the New York State tax payer. It is shameful how he treats people, when they are at their most vulnerable. Thank you for sharing this!!!
ReplyDeleteI knew there was something about this magistrate that wasn't right. He's been very unfair to me as well. What can we do to get him off the bench?
ReplyDeleteHi Unknown can you please email me at rosebills2896@gmail.com - there are definitely ways to remove him from the bench. One would cost no money, no filing of papers but just some coordinating and time invested.
ReplyDeleteNo man in his position of ignorance and aggression has the authority to mediate and make decisions for the future of children. He is perverted and must be taken out of the courts.
