"After two and a half decades in the city court system, Judge Michael Goldman is set to serve the Queens Civil Court as its newest supervising judge. I am honored to be entrusted with this important responsibility and will strive to make the Queens County Civil Court the jewel of the court system, said Goldman, a Forest Hills attorney who was elected as Queens' first openly gay judge in 2023."
"A Queens native who grew up steps from the courthouse, Goldman's spent his life serving his community and the past 24 years in the state's court system. He's worked as a court attorney and principal law clerk for judges in Queens Civil, Criminal and Supreme Courts, as well as in New York City Criminal Court in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Before that, Goldman worked in private criminal and civil practice and as in-house counsel to investment and technology companies."
